yours looks better then mine, what was really weird is that the car didnt take long to get there, I mean it was really fast, I thought I was going 140, then I looked down and said ,holly crap, I was in law enforcement for 11 years and I had a ford mustang, and it would only to like 130, I was chasing a camaro caught it but the light bar almost flew off, so I have had some traing and experience in driving,

By "interstate", I'm sure he means "closed track"

I have yet to test mine to that speed, but I look forward to the day that happens...

Just curious, at higher rpm's my cars oil pressure is almost right at 5, it seems like yours is between 3 and 4?

Throttle position doesn't affect the pressure, RPM does. I'd say thats a bit low for that high of an RPM.

True, but not just rpm but also oil temp. His oil is probably a bit hotter with that type of driving.

MPD47: I imagine it's no coincidence that at 150,000 miles on the odometer you are at 150 mph. If only you had the trip odometer at 150 miles.........
