back in the day there used to be a cop with a confiscated camaro that was stupid quick (haha that probably shows how long it's been since I've been there) but even he wasn't out all that often. that road is plenty of room though. then again, people like myself hypsy and njhk can hit their "limiter" in much less than all that road, I'd say 1/2 to 1 mile or so.
iLLmaTic you're in huntington right? I used to live in west islip right off of montauk and robert moses.

now some one please tell what the point is of these top speed runs?
How often and where do any of you think your going to go above 80?
seriously speeding is reckless enough but trying to top out STOCK cars on public roads is just a bad idea.
Not trying to be a dick or anything its just my opinion

, I've actually known about your car for a while through some friends of mine and Bill at Hahn, very impressed with itI hit mine about 50ft after a 1/4 mark, maybe 75ft, but mine is a bit lower and a lot more mild build too

Start over fresh!
