If you have ever driven a car at 130+ mph you would understand that doing it on the track is fairly safe, on the freeway its scary, in a 45 zone you would definitley be a dead mother ****er.
end of story.
I really hate people who are full of shit and try and impress a forum with their brand of lies.

To get to 120 in a vette or a viper takes about a minute or less, to get to 120 in a prelude we are talking at least 5 minutes to get there and to hit 145 or whatever he said he was doing is that much more time.
Once you hit a certain range of RPMs and speed it takes a lot longer to gain speed. So the climb from 0-60 may take 6 seconds (for sake of argument) yet the climb from 60-120 may take the same car a minute or longer.
Its the basic physics of mechanical ability of the vehicle itself.

Guess I misread your intentions in the comment.
