Alligator Alley on Sunday morning..... anytime you plan on going 150 mph on a public road be ready to go to jail if you are caught.

trinity blvd on the pasco/pinellas border... 2 miles of semi straight 4 lane road with no houses/street lights/businesses and no turnoffs or places for cops to hide... just go around 2-3am any night of the week and have someone else sit at the other end and make sure its clear. been about 160 in my friends dads car so you should be fine.
kinda far for you though

Is your NSX black with stock wheels and an aftermarket spoiler?

Hey, start on I75 N. @ the Gibsonton ramp and have some friends sit with there hazards on at each ramp and then book it. have some radios too and you should be good. Do it in the early morn of course. I usually fly around there during the week from friends houses or bars. Going on roads around town, youll hit some shit.

From Sarasota huh? Maybe sometime you should come up to hooters on saturday nights. I know someone with an S2K that would be gaga over your NSX.

listen man. i drive to orlando 2-3 times a week. between 5-6 am on any work day there are no cops. i have been drivin like this for about year now and i saw them at time maybe twice. last time was like 3 months ago.
i would highly suggest taking it on I-4 and just driving to b/w lakeland andfantasy of flight place. whenever i drive at that time i do not let speed go below 95 mph and do not even break before kissimmee.
take I-4
