Yeah tell me about it. Numerous times I have been doing ~90mph and MD State Troopers just pass me doing at least 110mph. They rather pull over the HOV offenders than speeders.

Haha yeah dude bikers are crazy on that stretch of 50. The area between DC and Annapolis has to be one of the best places to do some "linear acceleration testing". I myself have heard from others that you can easily reach the Z's 155mph limit on that stretch quite easily and with impunity.

I know a guy who got pulled over on that stretch doing 120mph in a Mazdaspeed3. I wouldn't be too sure.

if you get clocked at that speed, you might as well keep going cause you're screwed if you get pulled over.

Will the Z only do 155mph top speed?
