Default cruised at high speed finally

Got to it on the highway finally, it was straight as an arrow and smooth as silk. Went a lil faster than the pic shows but it was a lil tough to judge when to snap the pic cause I was looking for the fuzz.

Got mine up to 130 the other day on the way home from work.Took a while to get there,But it was a lot smoother than I thought it would be!BTW through the crappy Goodyears away and had Michelins installed at 500 miles.Mainly because the Goodyears were square and never did roll out smooth,Dealer helped with the increase in cost.

You think you have a better chance of living if you lose it at 100 over 140?
You're dead either way might as well go for the gusto!

You might suffer a little longer @ 100, it'll be over quick @ 140.

Damn nice man! Never had mine over 95 yet, too many cars on the freeway here, plus I don't want to go to jail! I wonder what this car will top out at. Is it drag limited? (assuming of course governor is removed)

touche

though im sure it would end someone pretty quick if they lost it at 65 which is a normal speed in many states....

the faster you go the less chance you have to react to anything coming up, cars are scary things when out of control going 35 or 135.

Had my GXP to 138 and ran out of road. Had my GTO to 152 and didn't need much road to get it there. I wouldn't recommend driving even close to those speeds frequently , especially if you're nervous about it. My biggest fear is losing my DL because a cop catches up to that blur that just went by him.But the rush is still fun! Just be CAREFUL and ENJOY your car!

I had a freeway that many here take their cars on to go fast. Little cops, nowhere for htem to hide and plus it is straight so if the people way ahead of you throw on the brakes, the cops are close by(they just passed them). lol.
