Dropping into 6th at speeds like 190 or even 160 mph would just wreck the tranny as you slow down considerably.
Our 6th gears sole purpose is for highway gas mileage.

I shifted into 5th at 150 and stayed on it until I hit jut a little past 190. The tach read 6400 rpms or so. I was in 5th, and btw my car is running better since I corrected my little issue I was having when we raced. Still waiting for a rematch. Anytime, as long as you come to my area this time. In case you don't already know my 5th gear at 7000 rpms is good for 204 mph. You know I thought you were a cool guy until you made your shitty comments. Again just like you not having a reason to lie about your car, what reason do I have to lie about mine? Rematch anytime, I got you this time. Its sad that you had to come on here and disrespect me. I am quite shocked, you didn't act like this when we were hanging out.

As far as a rematch, we can do that when I have time like I said before. But I highly doubt the cleaning of an airfilter will make up the difference, if any at all.

I gotta agree with the other couple of guys that said that it didn't look like 190.
You already know it's incredibly stupid so I won't reiterate that again.
The vid was midly entertaining. I'm not much for looking at passing road/scenery from inside a car, even if it is fast looking. I'd mcu rather see you racing someone.
Oh, and you are incredibly eat up with your car, LOL (see the bold? I'm just giving you a hard time)
Hope we're not reading about you behind the funnies any time soon...

Doug,
If you want to beat Fadi, why don't you get a turbo or supercharger? I'm sure you could edge him out then. I'm sure Fadi will keep me updated on what happens
