I think you may be watching your "Fast 'N Furious" DVDs too often.
I've seen over 140 mph in the X, over 180 mph in the ZR1 and over 190 mph in the Viper on numerous outings and not even once blown by another car. The "speed kills" catchphrase that's accepted as fact in this country is total BS. Radically different vehicle speed on public roads kills (like the crap hollywood spews out ad-nausium, cars driving thru traffic at double and triple the average vehicle speed).
The Bayside bridge in Clearwater FL is a favorite of mine, arrow straight and 2.2 miles to the crest (top) from the airport side (clear view and long enough to the crest to get the Viper from 0 to 180 mph TWICE!!!). At 3am with no cars out, a top speed run is drama free, with a 70 mph approach I can see over 190 in the Viper and get it slowed down to 60 before cresting it.
