I don't see why you want to go so fast.
120 is pretty darn fast, especially when the car won't handle at that speed.
I wouldn't wanna go over the governor in my car. The tires aren't made for it, and it sure as hell will not handle well at those high speeds.

An intrigue vs a I-4 dodge avenger. win? Yes, 20 carlengths no.
Hell my car could do over 130, but it'* limited. Limited for a reason, people don't know how cars handle at high speeds. Above 100, the danger increases drammaticaly ever 10 mph. Anything above 120 MPH should have full inspection of tires, engine, and all body pieces.
