this happens whenever anyone brings up speeding. I agree with both parties. Excessive speeding is irresponsible If there is other traffic. I had my 85 300D up to 115 before on a public road but I did it at three in the morning on a wide open freeway without passing a single motorist. IMO this is perfectly acceptable. If im driving 115mph on an open road the only person Im putting at risk is myself. If the OP was in light traffic (hopefully very light) and didnt pass anyone at high speed then whats the problem? He knows the consequences and hopefully wasnt putting anyone at risk. Anyone who doesnt venture into triple digits atleast once a year needs to lighten up and live a little.
