I've hit 110-115 no problem, still had a little more to go.

First and only time I've done it though, not worth a ticket.

Maybe the xB and the xA's engines are diff, cuz on the freeway on ramp I gotta lead foot the xB to get it up to speed. Is there pressure for the gas pedal? cuz when I press the gas it feels like I have to apply some pressure to get it going.

The engines are not different, is the weight difference that they have.

I gotta get a digital Camera!

3 times, I've hit between 105 and 110 just having fun.

A bit scary when you blow by a semi getting buffeted by his wind.

you don't want to get clocked at above 100mph. A friend of mine got arrested on site. It is automatic jail man, no fun.

Yep.

There's a good reason why I haven't done it again. My curiosity's been satisfied.

mine is almost 12,000 miles old and im just starting to drive it slightly harder and it still suprises me of its capabilities. even at 80 MPH @ 4000 RPM with a stick, if you accelerate, it still responds. i guess thats what catches me off gaurd teh most... the responsiveness of the engine at all speeds. only bad thing is IMHO the steerign starts to get a little "light" and "vague" above 85 MPH and becomes a little twitchy

Too Right! That Semi is what made me stop speeding. Wierdest feeling in the world when you think the front wheels are lifting off the ground!

Besides, I am startin to acquire parts to make this a track car. Nothing serious, just time attack and SCCA Solo.

ive taken the xA above 120mph when my car was still under 200,000 miles.
I cheated though, did on a LONG downhill on the I-15 N going to Vegas.
Long downhill stretches.

Yeah it does move pretty quick. I was driving on the freeway and I started noticing I was passing a bunch of cars and under the loud music I heard the engine revving a little higher. I looked at my tach and spedometer and I was going 95 at 4000RPM. It didn't even feel like I was going that fast except for the really really light steering. I really need to lower my car. I feel like it's a monster truck and it's kind of scary taking corners fast.
