Default Nothing but haters

Listen, I have a Tahoe that I’ve custom built from ground up. I can send pics and videos of it doing 125 mph perfectly safe, tires that are rated for speeds of 180 mph and so on. And ways to either chip out your vehicle for street use or for track use. We have sanctioned street races here around me. Yeah it can be dangerous, especially to those who are either A) scared of it, B) those who don’t know how to control it or Maneuver correctly and fix a problem when it happens at high speeds.

all I’m saying is if you want your truck to go faster, hit me up. It’s NOT ILLEGAL to enhance your truck and make it faster, not against any laws either. I’m pushing 850hp in my truck. She’ll burn tires off idling lol

A little side note,
Ask any race driver, and they will usually tell you they feel safer driving on the race track than on the roads with some of today's drivers.

that behaviour is for the track; I have no problem with.
Anyone who drives that fast on a public road has no consideration for others safety and hopefully they lose their license before hurting someone..

Yeah dude just don't. They have aluminum drive shafts. They are not designed for speeds over 100. Your very high risk for catastrophic drive train failure. However you can tune it. Ive done it several times. At around 130mph your drive shaft literally explodes. Destroyed my rear differential and my transfer case. Keep that in mind.

Also, on a GM product a custom tune can do it as well.

Thanks for being safe and keeping the racing where it belongs = the track!

Not the roads you share with me, that I helped pay for.

What is it with reckless drivers resurrecting these ancient topics?
