2-3 days later I discovered my one rear tire is actualy de-laminating, SOOO if you ever plan to speed stupid speeds like that, make sure your tires are in perfect condition and are rated to go that fast!!!
Tires that exceed their rated speeds can't deal with the added heat and rotational forces. This nearly always destroys the tire in the short-run, but can also destroy the tire immediately, resulting in high-speed blowout. I don't advise anyone pass their tire rating. I have been known to hit 130 frequently on I-75.. so I only run z-rated tires.
