I decided to help out a friend last night and drive her to the Raleigh Durham airport. I pushed my car harder than I've pushed it in a while, but was amazed at how well she managed. On the way down we covered 150 miles in 2 hours and 20 minutes. Not to shabby considering we had some traffic problems here in town and part of the time in North Carolina was a 2 lane back road deal. I drove 70-75mph pretty much the entire time I was in VA (the speed limit was 55) and once on the interstate in NC I ran her on up to 80mph and she was just as stable and confident as she is at 55 On the way back I still drove pretty hard because I wanted to get some sleep before class this morning. I managed to get 27mpg the entire trip and that impressed me since I don't have cruise control and part of the trip was hilly terrain.

I really, really, love this car!

only 80mph? That's my cruising speed on the freeways around here... good to know you're getting up to speed though; push it to 100, it'll take it.

I wish there were roads around here where I could really open her up...but I'll have to stick to the interstates when I have the chance.

ehhh.. be careful on the roads. I adhere to the speed laws (and sometimes under) on the majority of the "roads" I travel around here.. I don't like running into people or things, so I take it pretty easy.. But on the Interstates, open 'er up!
Hit the left lane and play some "Move Bitch!" and let 'cris take the flow..

I get miles and miles of dirt logging roads, no 80mph but I can leave a huge dust cloud. I just love going up hills with my car, turbos are so much fun.

I concour that it'll be stable dipping into the triple digits.

Mine's better over 80 than below.

Mine is really stable at 140 with the toyo proxes T1-S

140?? shit.. I like going fast.. but.. anything over 112 is grounds for getting scared. I don't trust it up that far, yet.. but i hope, too, soon!

Mine only makes a lot of wind noise at 100. As Steve, said, once it hits 80, it really smooths out.
