I am not sure if you mean anyone not going over 100mph or just the 240sx doing over a hundred. Because a recent car cruise I went on (not mentioning any names) consisted of about 28 cars and they were all doing over 100mph. I also meant stock size not stock tires.

So get a DOHC tach. They're about $20 and take 15 minutes to install.
I meant anyone, not just 240sx. Essentially one of those 'just because you can doesn't mean you should' deals. I won't lie, I've taken my car to over 130mph, but it was a stupid immature thing to do. I put myself and others into a risky situation, and could've resulted in a grave outcome. Putting yourself in danger is one thing. I don't really care much about that - but when you jeopardize the well-being of others, you're in the wrong. That happens any time you drive recklessly on public roads. People frequently don't grasp the gravity of the responsibility of driving a car and how one error can lead to a lifetime of pain or death. So far, I've been lucky. I've been in one crash, and it's been on a closed circuit - completely my fault (overconfidence), and I never put anyone into danger that wasn't doing what I was doing.
I know 240s can go fast, but it's dangerous to others to do so, and not worth the brief thrill associated with it.
