reasons not to go that fast.
1)wastes a TON of gas
2)if you get pulled over, your *** has a one way ticket to jail.
3)any faster on the stock tires and that's just asking to blow one. and if you blow a tire at those speeds, i might as well say it's been nice knowing you.

i just don't feel like the ricks equal the reward.
too bad you guys have no top end power or you might be more inclined to push the car to its limits. lol

i worry a lot about the tires blowing out (im pretty sure they're rated higher than my top speed anyway) though thats why i dont top my pos out often. usually just on cold nights where i make more boost so it runs way better.
OMG your right. those 2.3 4 bangers are total beasts that everyone should fear.
those made up built 3.8's can put a hurting on a lot of things...on paper...so i hear...
