Top speed run. Can this be right?

[exgmguy]

After leaving the Woodward cruise I smoked this LS1 SS on the E-way pretty easily. Then fellow board member FastGTragtop appeared out of nowhere behind us and stepped up to knock him out of the park as well.

Now here is the kicker. I pulled to the outside lane and let those guys start racing from behind me. They came whipping by and I sprayed it in 4th, then into 5th and held it to the mat. I ran 5th gear up to about 5400-5500 rpm. A tad below my shiftlight.
My brakes felt as if they went out. When I slowed down I could smell major burning pads. I figured I was hauling balls, until I plugged my numbers into the analyzer.

5400 rpm in 5th gear on a T-5 car with 28" tires comes out to be about 175 mph!!!!! Can that be right? If it is, I am indeed the STUPIDEST MORAN A$$WIPE on the planet for pulling that move.

Drag springs, 90/10's, and skinnies. Freakin' retard!
