John - there is a big difference between saying the road is or isn't safe compared to condoning doing that speed.

The slightly older Tj would suggest you don't do it there. I still maintain that stretch is as safe as anywhere you will find on perths roads to give it a squirt. Once you clear roe there is 2km before you see another onramp. Plenty of time to get on it and then back off. There are no roadworks there and there are none coming up after it and you know it so your maybes are bullshit.

Your personal view is clouding the fact that a wrx is designed to do that speed and that road can handle it.

Like I said I still wouldn't recommend it these days.

End of the day neither of these two kids died so it says something. Actually I think the last death on that stretch of road was a motorbike rider who got squashed at low speed by a truck.
