New Illinois Speeding Laws -Yikes!
Please Read this:
Putting the pedal to the metal will no longer result in just a speeding ticket, thanks to a new Illinois law which goes into effect January 1 that targets people driving 100 miles per hour or faster. * The new law has two important parts: It makes speeding in excess of 30 miles per hour a Class B Misdemeanor with a penalty of up to six months in jail and a $1,500 fine. * It also denies court supervision for aggravated speeding. Driving over 40 miles per hour or more over the limit remains a Class A Misdemeanor, which carries a penalty of up to one year in jail and a fine of $2,500. "When you are going 40 miles above the speed limit, you fall into the category of being a potential killer," said Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White.

Couldn't agree more! Too bad some GD cop gave me a ticket for going 62 in a 55 the other day!

I hear you. I was able to open the car up to 135 mph on I-88 before the weather went to crap.

Anyone know of a good strip to legally open these cars up? Aka an old airport runway?

Take a driving school/HPDE at Road America. There are three long straights there (maybe hit about 130mph to 150mph) and would be a lot more fun driving the track than finding a single straight away.

I have driven the M3 at Autobahn Country Club, I always wished I could find a straight road to open her up

I once did 143mph in my M-Roadster on the same stretch of road. Keep in mind there was nobody around.
I totally understand the reasoning for this, there are many idiots out there.

have you ever tracked your car... really? because i've had plenty of track time and in a car like the M3, it doesn't matter if you've gone 100MPH on a tightly wound track or 150 on a long straight, you're still going to feel the itch to stretch your legs on the highway.
everyone out here averages around 75-80MPH on the freeway, and getting onto the freeway can easily put you at 90-100MPH. i'm not saying 100MPH isn't stupid to do on the road, i'm saying it's stupid to say that track time is going to curb your desire go faster than 65MPH or whatever the speed limit is in your area.

Yeah on 294 with very little traffic if you are doing 75 you feel like you are standing still. People WHIP past you all the time. I do agree with the laws though to an extent. I hate when I see people doing 80 in work zones when there are actually workers present.
