That's the beauty of modern engine management. It'll keep the engine within warrantied limits. :-)
I just held the throttle down until the rev limiter kicked in then snapped the pic.

I've got a physical (i.e. non digital) pic of my SL600 speed-limited at 155 in 4th gear. I didn't have the balls to take that pic, had to have a friend snap that one.

I just like driving fast. Wakes me up in the morning.

Crazy was racing a Jag when I was in my Syclone, barrelling down the mountains in Colorado. I couldn't quite keep up with him around the tight corners, but I could catch him on the straights because I was stupider then him (plus, having a big turbo in that mountain air sure helped). :-)

So far I've never had an accident. I'm 5% skilled and 95% lucky. I just carefully choose where to push the limits.

The most fun I had was getting nailed by a State Patrolman in Western Nebraska going 146 in a 55 in my SL600. He was fucking pissed. He was probably even more pissed when I got out of the ticket with probation and a huge-ass fine. The value of a fine attorney, and the corruptibility of small town courts... I probably should have just kept going when he nailed me, but I had a split second to decide and I chickened out and stopped.
