Tell me more - what happened last year Mr C5ragtop?
Hmmm - its a long and embarrasing story which bears some resemblance to what Tristram has indicated. Basically it was my first ever quarter mile run and I couldn't stage the car. I had the windows down and some guy shouting instructions at me which I couldn't hear as I had a helmet on. Anyway the lights went green and I set off trying to close the windows. I continued on to the one mile top speed run. At 165mph (and I will uphold that figure until the day I die despite what others may say) I felt the car was a little noisy when I realised I still had the windows down by a couple of inches. I duly closed them but just after that I passed an ambulance and a load of spectators. I backed off thinking I had reached the end, but I was a little short and recorded a miserable terminal speed. I was well pleased that I had done it and thoroughly enjoyed the experince. Even better was the fact that I was using ZR1368's entry so my perfomeance went down in his name.
Incidentally, I recorded 160mph in Germany this weekend and I had a witness - my wife Jeannie was heard to say "can you slow down a bit", so I did.

....then you got off of the free play Playstation at the museum!
BTW Do you always do what your wife tells you?
I think GM call this the ASR ....automatic speed reducer, it cuts in at about 160 MPH on my Corvette too!
