Per the title, I am looking to test my top speed. I know with 3.73's I will be big time drag limited in 6th gear, but I want to know!

The only two places I can think of are El Mirage lake bed and the salt flats. I REALLY don't want to drive 700 miles to the salt flats. El Mirage is about 100 miles away so I might hit that up.

Anywhere else? I do NOT want to be that guy going 180+ MPH on the 5 freeway in Orange County so please let's keep this LEGAL. Apologies if i annoyed anyone with the mention list I stole from the cruising threads.

Off-road section of the county with no speed limit :)

These are what law enforcement can use to enforce speeds that they determine to be "safe"

OHVs are not to be operated faster than what is safe for the conditions of the area. (38305 CVC)

It is unlawful for any person to drive any motor vehicle in any manner with a willful and wanton disregard for the safety of other persons. (38316 CVC)

As long as you don't get close to camp sites I don't think it will be a problem. I know there are speed groups who go out there all the time publicly. This is one of them: http://www.scta-bni.org/

Shift S3ctor is coming out late October about 215 miles away. Same thing, 1/2 mile. I want to test my top speed, though.

Maybe the just use those laws to determine fault incase of an accident

GPS always takes me through el mirage Rd to get to Vegas from my house, I never knew there was a recreation area over there. Only 30 Miles from my house!

Half mile will not get you near top speed. Go for full mile events.

You can top out on the Texas mile. The have regs and you need a health statement, and helmet newer than 2 years old.

My 16 GT with the Torsen 3.77 hits the wall at 151 mph.
