im on borrowed time with my hood. took mine to 170+ miles per hour on the bahns with a cervini Cobra R hood and no pins. i have hood pins but they are in california sitting in a box with a slew of other parts i need to install.

its pretty sweet to pass a cop at 110-120 and not have to worry about getting pulled over... i think if you pass them at 170-180 280-300 klicks than thats wreckless driving and they will try to catch up and pull you over, keyword TRY to catch up . they drive these POS Mercedes station wagons.

there are things to account for though. if there is a chance of rain and your driving those speeds and get caught then your getting pulled over and most likely loosing your license for a month or 2.

i only hit that speed on a stretch of road that was 5 miles long with no turns or construction and i still got passed by a Porsche GT2

i jacked up my pinion seal and developed a tranny leak and one of my fog lights fell out because the retards at the body shop only used one screw to secure it to the bumper. so i wont be blastin the bahns at those speeds again.

im coming back to the states in april and may for some training and cruising at 60-70 is going to suck.
