I was on my way back from Bar Harbor last summer, late on a Sunday afternoon in August... I found some nice long straight sections of Rte. 95 and was cruising, comfortably at 100 - 115 for several minutes at a time, and stretching to 125-130 at times. Plenty of left in the car, and very composed at that speed... I only saw a couple of 18-wheelers, the road was nearly deserted. Of note, the pavement was also in exceptional shape. No cracks, repairs, or anything of any kind. Makes for really nice driving at high velocity. The north and south bound lanes are separated by about 50 yards of tall and dense forest, you can't even see the cars going in the other direction. The only thing I was worried about was a moose wandering out onto the road... I then took it down to about 75 and kept it there.

Had the ZHP up to 161.4 gps confirmed somewhere in "Mexico" on a straight and empty road at about 1:30am. I think I was pretty much drag limited at that point. Car felt smooth though, but no point in doing that again, cause I have already done it.

I went past '13' in my Dinan-delimited 325i; it was scary-stable and composed.
In the ZHP, I've been careful not to do silly things that could cost me my license, but my three-year-old daughter and I still like to take cloverleafs and diminishing-radius turns at (theoretically-legal) speeds that would give less-agile cars pause...
