I can read just fine, you're the idiot if you think an explanation of your occupation is necessary ("swingin' dix" still makes you the "cool guy" too, sub-sophomoric avatar)

Even though the bridge is lit up like daylight I pre-run the bridge and double back for the high speed run. I also run tires 1 or 2 speed ratings over the top speeds of my vehicles (the X has W speed rated Hankook Ventus, 168 mph). If I pick up a nail in a tire it's replaced with a new tire also.

As for the "claimed" 190 mph, the Viper runs 186 mph right off the showroom floor, both the ZR1 and Viper have been to Henessey Motorsport and the Viper is currently at almost 700 hp (with the 120 shot). With a 50% increase in hp, speeds over 190 are effortless (thats in 5th gear too).

As stated in my prior post, I will, in fact, ONLY be taking myself out. The areas where I do high speed runs have a clear view and NO access ramps.
