So what kind of mods do you have on there?
AEM intake, Borla exhaust minus a catalytic converter.
Thats about it, aside from excellent maintenance.
Takes a long [censored] straight stretch to top it out considering she has 120,000 miles on her. She's not a young girl anymore.

Well, this IS a mitsubishi we're talking about.

I LOVE the 'blurring' effect in the windshield - that is great!
I would not want to try taking a pic at this speed, but that's me!

I agree, at that speed (if I ever drive that fast on a stretch of empty highway or on a race track) I would have both hands on steering wheel. It's very gutsy to take a picture while driving at 150 MPH.

How much power do you think you gained from removing the cat? I don't think it's worth doing, don't you have laws prohibiting this?

Not so far off from a Chrysler product.
Yeah, pretty much the Dodge Avenger Coupe and Chrysler Sebring Coupe

Unless I'm very much mistaken, it is a completely different platform. They share the same 2.4L DOHC engine, but afaik that's it.

Yes you are
First gen Avenger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Avenger_(JS)
Look at the coupe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Stratus
Sebring coupe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Sebring_(coupe)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_D_platform
There I did the research for you

Eclipse
Look familiar?

I actually just blindly snapped that pic with my phone without taking my eyes off the road, and it came out very well for quickly grabbing it and not really holding it steady.
The Eclipse and Stratus R/T share the same frame, along with the Sebring I believe. The Eclipse and Stratus R/T also share like 90% of the same parts too, no joke.
And I dont think I gained all that much from removing my rear cat (I have 2 left still) and yes it is still illegal, but I live in Ky where people breed with their families, the environment is not on the top of the concerns list.
Also, if I ever choose to drive in the triple digits, having no one else around is a top priority of mine.

Look at a 2000-2005 Eclipse and then look at the same year Stratus R/T.
engines are the same, suspension, interior bits like dashes, steering wheels, door panels, etc.

Wow, I would never have guessed 200hp would get a car going 150mph...
If you read the wikipedia page, the 2 door Stratus was the Eclipse twin, the 4 door Stratus although having engines with nearly identical specs was still a Dodge.

It has a bit more than 200hp, but it takes a while to build up that speed. i think it would take 1 1/2 to 2 miles to maybe top it out.
once you get going so fast, you styart covering ground alot faster, so its exponentially harder to go faster.
