Oh, I'm not worried about reaching 150. BONNEVILLE RACEWAY requires a rollcage and a bunch more to attempt the 150 club. The 130 club only requires a helmet and fire extinquisher. I've already figured my top end is 168 based upon Dinan redline 6300rpm. Already hit 134 on lonely Nevada road and have often cruised at 110-120. The 5000lb wgt of the X5 help keeps it glued to the road. Other than a speedometer at 2 o'clock and that you need to speed read the road signs, it feels solid & quiet and virtually no different than driving at slower speeds.
