Not high speed racers, not safely anyways.
Wussie!!!
I am running Avons with Olthoff custom Bilstein coil overs and GRP sway bars on the SPF. If there are no serious cross winds it is rock solid and predictable up to 120mph. The noise and wind make the ride a bit uncomfortable, but I have total confidence in the car at this speed. I have documented 142mph (gps) at VIR on the South Course straightaway, and would estimate 150 at the same track running the full course. The stretch accelerating between 130 and these speeds is a bit of test as to testicle size.
Not recommended for the faint of heart.
