Unless:

4. You can drive very well, especially in terms of scanning ahead, way down the road.
5. Even with all of the above handled, it's just a really bad idea.

I'm 49 years old. My first car, at 15, was a 500+ HP Shelby GT500 4 speed. I've done triple digits on crowded surface streets more times than I could possibly remember. I've done over 140 on public roads many, many times. Dropped an intake valve into a cylinder, seizing the 428CI engine, at 140 on I-10 in Houston when I was about 18. That was pretty exciting. Stuff happens you just can't plan for.

I've driven like a complete idiot in my younger years, and it's God's grace I'm still alive AND that I didn't kill somebody else in the process. I've 360'd any number of cars on dry streets while pushing the car to the edge. FWIW, I've driven Winston Cup cars at Atlanta Motor Speedway, and that's cake compared to driving your F-body 150+ on a public road.

But I would never, ever look for 190 MPH in an F-body on a public street. As whack as I've been, even I think that's crazy. At that speed, you are simply not prepared for, nor will the car allow you to do much to correct or avoid *anything* unexpected that happens. All it takes is that one little unexpected thing, and then what's left of you and the car will have them looking really hard to find all of your body parts for the funeral. Closed casket, of course.

Topping out a modded car that already had more motor than suspension when it was stock is a really bad idea. Unfortunately, some people only find that out the hard way. Don't be one of them.


P.S. In case it's not obvious, in no way am I bragging above. I drove stupid and could easily have killed innocent people in the process. I'm encouraging you younger peeps to take it to the track.
