Message	What I mean by that he said that if you ran a Z @120mph for 10 to 15 mins straight you would blow the engine. maybe damonz will post the video of him driving at 140mph for 13 minutes straight, then slowed down to 120mph for 13 minutes, then to 90mph for 4 minutes nonstop. no cuts, no edits. (i was in the passanger seat). We did 60 miles in 28 minutes 17 seconds (documented and videod). Engine temps were dead on 189-192 Oil pressure was dead on 60psi Not a like of trouble.
