Default TOP SPEED!

AT point (mph) do you feel scared driving in your gt? is it stable up to about 140 mph? i would never drive that fast but this is just for research.

I got up to an indicated 130mph for about 5 seconds, pretty stable, but probably not a good idea on a regular interstate!

I typically don't ever feel the need to pass 100mph on the street, just no point to it.

I hit 145 once in the gt, felt pretty darn stable... Of course I was racing on I-4 and hadda slow down once I put about 2 or 3 buslenghts on the other car lol.

I hit 140 with the 4.10 gears...at that point, the adrenaline rush feeling starts becoming fear for your life. lol

i've hit 130 twice. once with the top down and once with the top up. i think with the top up i could go faster but i always run out of room

So far I have done 115 nice and easy just barely shifting into 5th. Not scared just no place to do it safely without much fear of a ticket. I live in the middle of Phoenix but one of these days I will get a chance and get her going.
