If it can withstand this sort of aero force with out the rods I don't see it ever being an issue on the street.
Hi F360C

Can you tell me more about the speedo readings. I had a hunch that it was off in the upper ranges, but not sure by how much. I say this im a novice driver and at NJMP lightning at the end of the straight the speedo says I hit 141-142. I just find it hard to believe.

Previously in my S52 Z3 MCoupe I would hit 125ish. I was pretty impressed that I picked up 15MPH. But I do have some doubts.

Also are we top speed limited to 155mph
