Wasn't that a GNX? Thought I read that somewhere but it says an 86 Buick.

anything over 120 is friggin insane in these cars. infact, 120 is insane. i was out playing around a while agho with my alky kit. i was flying, speedo said 85

, someone pulled out into my lane so i tried easing on the brakes. it wasnt pretty and it scared the living shiv out of me. car was all over the road.

I hit 120 in my old one, but I was spooked by the light front end at 100, LOL.

Amazing how much more solid my Monte SS felt at speed, guess that aerodynamic nose piece really worked.

I was there when you saw it man! We tried to beat on a rental, but no dice.

I've hit 135 in mine racing my buddy's Acura. I had to ask him how fast we were going because the speedo was buried and bounced back every now and then.
