A few quotes from the original thread:

It was not that I was making a sharp turn trying to corner and I lost control, it was just something in the road that made me lose control of the car.

I'm not saying that it is not my fault, because as a driver I should have expected something like that, but it was not like I was doing something stupid and taking turns at high speeds. It wasn't even a turn, a very very slight bend and I didn't expect a divit/dip in the road.

Has anyone verified the accuracy of the speedos with GPS?
I've had mine a half dozen or so times to 150 and more, one of which touched 160. Car was/is bone stock.

Ive gone 155. Havent had the ***** to go any faster. The car was more than willing to do it, but I was not. I usually get on it through a gear pretty much everytime I take it out though.

At least the truth came out.

I havent pushed my car hard at all. Too afraid to find the limit on public roads. The one time I attempted to go fast the drivers side headlight cover flew off at around 120mph(that will wake you up). I know my FD can turn better than my 8 but I'm just not confident around turns yet.

When nobody's looking, a couple of times a week I'll run up through 2nd gear and half of 3rd WOT 
Acceleration is the best. Lateral or straight line 
I don't wring the car out around corners on the street. Top speed is no fun for me. That's a really easy way to kill yourself or someone else IMHO. Unless you're on a wide open road with no one around... but I would like to believe that those who track their car on a road course really stress the crap out of every component on the car.
