It does have a very slight decline, but i had never seen anything higher than 158 until 20 minutes ago.

I had to pass 3-4 cars (3lanes each direction).

tires are fairly new so speedo shouldn't be off tooooo much.

Strongly suggest you save it for the track.

Some of you seem to be forgetting that scot is a maniac. Please reserve your admonishments for non-maniacal people.

Shaner - I had the top up.
Greg - I am still on my first S2000.
Sunchild - aren't you supposed to still be at work

I agree... no track outside of a huge banked loop will
allow you the distance to open it up.

I just switched to Royal Purple oil, so....maybe that helped?
