170 is top speed, wouldn't go higher even after 30 secs of driving on it. It was intense!

I agree, driving at 170 is definitely intense! For one it's an adrenaline rush, but also in the back of my mind I know that one false move or imperfection in the road could end things in a very bad way. I'm not admitting to anything (for legal reasons), but if I were to have hit 170mph a couple of times it would have only been on sections of road that I know very well and when there are no other cars present. Again, not saying I have, this is just "hypothetical".

Fortunately after 100+ jumps I haven't had an issue with either.
