Damn dude you posted this in every forum! Take your make up car and your 107mph trap speed with a 150hp motor and come back when you can follow the rules.

Don't listen to all these clowns. They all waste time in the first 4 gears. 5th gear is made for top speed, so obviously that's the gear to work with. just put the shifter in 5th...

Then floor it

What are you talking about 5th gear? You are quite the ignorant one!

Put it into "R", some will tell you it is for reverse, but we all know anything with "R" is fast. A HA! Type-R

So, with that said, Put it into "R", then Floor it bisch!
