Hi Matt; I hope you don't take this the wrong way but how old are you really?

You have to be I would think a pretty young man to attempt that in a Insight that the tires are not speed rated for anything close to that speed.

Well anyway good luck and live long.

No;

Matt,

What state (and no, not state of mind) do you live in? I just want to make sure I, and my family, are nowhere near you when you try to break your own land-speed record. I drive a hybrid to conserve fuel, not waste it on high speed tricks.

Default Skeptical About 125mph Insight

A number of Insight drivers (myself included) have taken it to 113mph. At that point, the speed limiter prevents higher speeds to avoid a blowout and putting me in a large crumpled Wriggley's gum wrapper.

The obvious question: did you disable the speed limiter?
