Your tire pressure is low.
If you are exceeding more than 100 MPH, you need to have slightly higher pressure than normal (approx 3 to 5 PSI)..

Well, to tell you the truth, in some parts of the autobahn I am always at 140MPH. It is still a smooth ride (relatively) and it is totally legal. I do not recommend doing it when
1. your tire pressure is low
2. when it is illegal
3. when it is at night
4. when your car tells you not to

Besides that, enjoy your car.

that's awesome! good to see someone driving the car how it should be driven I've only been able to get my 645 up to 145mph before hitting traffic on I-5

what's the big deal about driving in a straight line?

you won't do nothing when some turns are involved.

I thought I had a comment but after pressing the "reply" button, my brain
has failed me and I have nothing positive to say about driving at 160mph
with a low tire and in the middle of the night....

i'd really hope ur tire pressure wasnt low though. Couldve been dangerous. How long have u stayed at 160mph for? Does the vishnu tune get rid of the stock limiter?

Hmm,. I would expect Queen Mary Corgidog would say something. LOL. I guess his ship sank.
