to keep driving it after that, I wasn't interested in pushing it.   Anybody 
can go fast in a straight line; you're not really accomplishing anything.   So I 
just ran it up to about 120 and parked it there; if I twisted it to the max 
it would go faster of course, but what's the point?   I can wait a little 
longer to get to the corners and start *driving* again. :>)

compare my own laps.   I can tell you for a fact they did NOT look anything like 
those in the Corvette!
