I would not poke around too much, I know XXX but because of liability and insurance issues they will not let us if we ask. In this case asking for forgiveness is better than asking for permission.
A typical 550 can do the quarter mile at 13.5 secs at 105 miles per hour, figure another 13.5 sec or another half a mile for 185 mph (avg 145 mph for 13.5 secs) . Thats 3/4 mile for acceleration, which leaves you with half a mile to stop. Sounds doable, right?
