Default Topped out my xB

I should have posted this sonner. I went to Turning Stone casino a few weeks back with some friends. Decided to shoot for triple digits in my xB. :twisted: Wasn't happening. I hit 98 MPH and that was it. Oh well, at least it's good on gas.

I've hit triple digits in mine, I will try to take a pic for you guys. Imagine explaining that to a cop, "well officer I was trying to take a picture of my speedometer going over 100....". No points on my license, I can risk it. Maybe I will do a video!!

Try folding the sideviews in for a more aerodynamic form. Or...

Turn around and drive in the other direction. :D Or...

Put better gas in the tank!

I don't get it, there's such a large variety of different top off speeds from every member. I havn't tried to top mine off yet since it's still in the " break-in" stage but I'll check it out soon. But so far, it seems as though the car can definately break into the triple digits. Perhaps those that have a hard time surpassing the 100 mark is driving an automatic? I dono :?:
