I've had some close calls there, double fine zone and all that slowed me down a bit.

Backed off at 125 right after it went into overdrive. A car came down an on ramp about a quarter mile up the highway and I wasn't about to pass it at who knows what speed. My buddy pulled that kind of stunt many years ago. The car didn't see him coming and pulled into the left lane (his lane). He cut the wheel to the left, slammed the brakes on, slid across the other two lanes, wacked the curb, which threw the car into the air. We rolled once in the air over a fire hydrant barely missing a telephone pole, rolled another time once it hit the ground and stopped about 20 ft. short of hitting a building. The only injury to the three of us in the car was when my face smacked the dash and my glasses cut my eyebrow, which needed 3 stitches. No seatbelt, where talking many moons ago here. The car, needless to say, was in worse shape than me. Iv'e gone faster than the 125, but this reply is long enough already. I will tell you though, I had a roadblock set up to stop me, and their guns were drawn when myself and my brother were told to get out of the car once we stopped. Damn, I miss being young. ps 69 vette 427/435hp ragtop.

There's an old GMHTP mag with a burgundy 93 Z (supercharged) that had the 2.73's in his M6 that did 212 or so. I looked up topping out in 6th with 2.73's and it was something rediculas like over 300mph. With the 2.73's you can attain over 200 mph before a stock redline in 5th.
BTW, that same burgundy Z was in the cars for sale section a few months back. If I wasn't buried in bills from my Z, I would have bought it. It was a steal at the $14,000 he was asking.
