Close to 120MPH (barely into 4th gear), but they put in a cone chicane 3/4 of the way down the straightaway to slow you down. Apparently they were worried about people flying off the end of the track, which would be a real possibility. Things come at you pretty darn quick, even with a pro driver sitting beside you telling you to slow down.
These things had so much torque that you didn't even need to shift out of 3rd gear. There were maybe 3 spots on the track that I could get it into 4th, and it accelerated so quick you were right back into 3rd because the corners were coming up so fast.
At the end of the day the instructors took out the students to show us what the cars could REALLY do. I thought I was doing well, but these guys were unreal. So much fun.
