Hey man, driving fast is fun, but use your head and keep it on a racetrack. Hopefully you're doing these 150-ish runs on a section of road where there are no side roads for someone to pull out in front of you and no places for a cop to hide (can you imagine the ticket for doing 150 in a 55?). Even more of a concern would be hitting a deer. They're all over the place this time of year.

That's cool that you're drag racing it, from your numbers it looks like you're coming out a bit soft. If you have the adjustable Koni's you might want to stiffen up the rear quite a bit to cut down on squat and weight transfer off the front. You might also want to check out the local SCCA branch and try autocrossing. The SET isn't the best car for the course, but it's a lot of fun anyway and helps give a better feel for car control at the limit.

Have fun, be safe.

Mike
