I am not trying to say that 160mph is safe, it is quite the opposite.
But most people take chances in life, it is their decision. They don't need people on here telling them they are wrong.

How satisfyed would you be in buying a £400 car spending abit of time and a few £100s on it and having it go from a top speed of 103 to 150-160?!
I know modding ain't for everyone, but the kid inside always wants to go quicker and look angrier
150 nova, respect for it m8y
Not the greatest of cars to mod, but always cheap to insure and cheap to replace parts for 
Oh, and keep the speeding to the tracks aye?!

The point is 160mph on a public road is excessive. I've speeded over the legal limit but not in excess. 160+ means longer stopping distance and maximum injury to anyone in their way.
If people want to back that type of behaviour then it's your choice but others will leave negative feedback on the subject.

I personally wouldn't take my Impreza to 160mph (wouldn't get there even if i wanted to!!!), but i appreciate others might.
If they do fair play, as long at they know what happens if they get caught/crash

Not likely to happen?
Anything is possible. At the end of the day, you may go over the legal limit but at lower speeds you may have time to react to avoid an accident. At 160mph your timing is seriously reduced.

Go through a central reservation at 70 and whatever you hit will get pretty f**ked up!!! At 160mph you'd probably jump it and land it a very messy pile on the hard shoulder

Don't take yourself too seriously on this site
My point is that 160mph ISN'T safe, but i am sure you have seen more fatalities caused by speeds less than 150mph than you have above that speed.

Hey, it gives us something to do....much better than dealing with the drunken tossers and idiots who think an emergency ambulance will help their common cold. There's nothing like a bit of trauma
