Fist of all going 75-85 is relatively safe on most highways and interstates. Most cops won't stop you for that as long as other cars are doing it. Most cars drive at that speed. Going 150mph you will obviously get caught. Also whoever thinks the Evo is unaerodynamic is blind. The Evo is probably one of the most if not the most aerodynamic sedan I have seen. Every curve on that car contributes to cutting the wind. Boxy??? I don't think so. A 1988 Cadillac is boxy. Early model Town and Country and and Caprice Classic, and 1978 Nova, now they are boxy.

You really dont have a clue about high speed aerodynamics do you? Tell you what, take a class on fluid dynamics and a lab dealing with lift and flow characteristics, then come back and we will talk about the Evos lack of aero. Compared to cars crafted to drive over 200 mph (supercars like the Enzo and Bugatti and purpose-built race cars)the Evo is a brick.

Wow...a pointless thread. I've hit an indicated 160 mph in my STi and caught 158 on video. Toss that 147 limiter, if you please.
