I don't know. Our E350, with the 3.5 liter V6 was able to get to the limited 155, no problem. This car has has a 3.0 v6, so idk, I'm probably looking at 160-170 max

Will the tires take it?

What speed rating do they have?

I seriously hope you are doing that on the freeway. I could only imagine how hard it would be to maintain control when the brick were to leave my hand and smash the windshield of the car driving that fast through my neighborhood .

Haha, I don't know how you would throw a brick in time.

I tend to not do that in neighborhoods, I only do that on highways with very little traffic.

I have done it before on the freeway - still a dumb move, but it was fun.

As for the brick - It is all about angle and lead time...

They do not have insurance for manslaughter. When you tell the family of the child you kill that you were just having fun while sitting behind bars, see what that bragging does for you then.

I bet you are the first to throw a fit when someone flies past your house.

Not really, I've been living by a high school for the past 10 years, I've grown accustomed to the weekly speed involved accidents.
I know what I do is as stupid as can be, but really, at 3 am...there should be no kids out and about on the streets.

Also, by residential area, I don't mean inside a neighborhood, I am speaking about the roads that connect neighborhoods. Out here in in the outskirts of Omaha, there are many roads to play around on.

Josh, I know its fun but be careful.

All it takes is one cop sitting drinking coffee waiting for his shift to end with his radar on to make it a whole lot less fun.

I know, I have been clocked
67 over, ( 127 in a 60 )
40 over twice ( 80 in a 40 and 110 in a 70)
20 over ( 90 in a 70)
18 over and ( 88 in a 70)
13 over. ( 33 in a 20 )

Just last week a friend of mine got pulled over for doing 5mph over the speed limit (30mph)...she got a warning, but still.

Just take it to the drag strip. It won't be any fun when you hit somebody or wreck it.

My closest Drag strip is about 50 miles away or so. Also, taking my licensed and insured vehicle to the strip, voids my insurance.
