Honestly, I just don't like high speed. I do love low end torque though....a lot!

112, it's not the speed that worries me, it's the cops, lol. Need a radar detector if I want to go faster around here.

I did a buck-45 in AZ, but quite honestly, i've gone faster in my C6 and my 5-oh mustang. Maybe if I shift into 5th, then I can see what she really has.

I've done 135 in town, but after that the wind noise on the weatherstrip kinda makes me wonder.

Radar detector is useless at these speeds.

Frank, you were with me when I hit 160.

Mines no match for Kevin but much better than 92. No jack stands either. Mine was really on the road an I really video taped it. And anybody that takes their car up to that speed and says they were'nt just a little scared is either a liar or crazy. And people that crazy usually don't live very long.
