sounds fun

not worried about the driveshaft having issues?
I had one blow up at 120. Tore up a bunch of crap under the truck. I got it fixed but it was somewhat expensive. I had a custom drive shaft built. I have since reconsidered how fast I drive my GM vehicles.

Superchips voided that out. Voids alot of stuff now to think about it.... haha...
....

I brought a newly purchased ( by client) Mercedes Maybach into a high-end auto/audio shop to have the guy configure a satellite system into the car's audio
He showed me his stack of computer discs & software from manufacturers that dealers are not allowed to have. And, dealers are not allowed to even touch...... He can modify nearly any car computer to do whatever he wanted.
He was considered "aftermarket".
Quite a learning experience!!

When I bought new, my ( since sold) 1988 GMC C2500, it had a drive shaft, factory carbon fiber w/ cast aluminum ends. I could hold it easily with one hand. I am not clear how common that was.
It was pretty when I wiped it clean!!

it may depend on the department but I have read they are Governed but it is generally higher than a regular civilian vehicle like 120/130 they can do 137 like all the others if unlocked
