My testing would have to be at Road America down the straight. My buddies who race sport bikes are hitting about 165-170 down the straight. My car accelerates much faster then there bikes do (RC51 & R6) so I should be able to dable at least up to 180-190 there when I am setup and ready to start trial and error testing eventually.

your buddies "could" be full of it, as I said, sportbikes speedometers from the factory are about off my %5-10, plus most race bikes are re-geared which makes the speedo even way farther off. Plus almost anyone who carries that kind of speed at the track is going to very good, and the very good riders don't have speedos or they tape them up, and most of them don't even look down to see how fast they are going. So judging how fast "you think" your car will go based on what they are telling you is not realistic. You really need to get on the track and see how fast maybe 160-170 really is. And the thing about it, is you don't get a second chance if something goes wrong at those speeds, and most likely your 35 year old car has some things wrong with it
