Hit 130 MPH today...
So I went to the outskirts of town which was less then a mile drive from my house 
Anyway once I found the perfect road I gunned it till I hit 130, the car picked up pretty nice and smooth. I had quite a close encounter since I was driving on a 2 way street, a truck driving towards my direction caused my car to sway to the right by a lot. To be honest I was scared ____ less afterwards, my arms became stiff and I could not let go of the wheel lol. I've never gone so fast in my life before, last time I ever do something that stupid.Say have you guys noticed how sensitive the car gets once you hit a 100+? Is this normal for stock cars or cars in general?

I would say that it is pretty normal due to the fact that at higher speeds it is harder to control the car. Also if this is your first encounter with 100+ MPH you get a little jitty and nervous and it seems a lot more sensitive then what it really is. Don't worry however the more times you drive over 100 the more confident you get. (this is not always a good thing) lol

What RPM are you at when you go 130?!?
In Germany in the rental car, I went 190 KMH, thats about 125MPH, i think.
Anyway, it didnt seem so fast because EVERYONE drives at least 150 KMH :D

yeah also the wider the road the better for little mistakes (when I say little i mean like you take your eyes off the road for a sec, which is a big no-no at those speeds) and you don't have to worry about cars coming right at you

My brothers friend who drives a BSP tC is going to hook up my ECU chip to a computer and reprogram it so that it will allow me to reach higher speeds and Revs?...or at least some thing to that manner.

ie turbo, supercharger, headers intake
