What was crazy was the minute and 2 miles it took to reach that velocity from a 90 mph roll, gives the driver lots of time to think about all the things that can go wrong!.
Crazy wind noise is over 190 mph in a Henessey modded RT Viper, sounds like an F4 Fantom on full afterburner is flying 10 ft above the roof!!!! Lost a soft-top on a high speed pass thru Sarasota FL about 10 yrs ago, dealer replaced it no charge ($3800. part), was told NEVER exceed 130 mph with soft-top.

Waze navigation. And yes the wind is what makes your ears freak out
