All right, I was lying when I said I drove my lowered, flywheel-lightened Boxster 'S' to an indicated 265 WITH a passenger....

Safety and risk is a matter of degrees once you know what you're doing. For example; A tire blow-out at a legal 75 would result in a veer, road edge struggle and a ricochet and roll-over with some drivers.
I assume that rolling a convertible at 80 mph or greater will result in death so I don't do it--EVER! Wait a minute-- should they be building convertibles? And damn I feel unsafe when I see a 1-ton pick up coming my way and the bumper height is the same as my head when in a 'sports car'. And then there's the inertia of a 1 ton and what it does to my compact...

Your previous post never mentioned a passenger?

The false bravado runs deep in this thread. Perhaps it's closure time.

150 mph on an open highway out in the country. What could possibly go wrong??
