no one should go over 120 on the freeway. Racing people on the freeway or streets is for fools. When you get older you'll realize it's not worth the risk.

You're stupid. Because all of us know that you will do it on streets or freeways. So, just quit it, sell your car, and get on with your life. Idiot.

however, there is really no reason to go over 120 on the street.

So, if you drive over 120mph, you automatically crash? Interesting.

Have a quarter, Kornaz, and call us back when you're 30. And at that point perhaps you'll be wise enough to realize that the person making the assumption here is *you* and calling someone "stupid" or an "idiot" is something you should reserve for people who deserve it. NOT everyone who drives a 240 will race on the street.

I don't really care about speed, it is the rpm that bothers me

every time I see the rpm approaching the redline I just let go of the gas or shift instinctively

my motor has not seen over 7k very often because of this reason. I probably want another rpm gauge but I don't want to settle for a 9" monster tach

as far as speed goes, maybe you can consider something like a blitz power meter that you tap into the speed sensor and will tell you how fast you're going
