I thinks it's funny that when I read about a tC owner going 100MPH+ they catch a ton of flak, but when an xB owner does it they get commended. Like it's great feat that they have surmounted.

Not all of them.

I imagine being able to do 155-160 with a 50 MPH tailwind in mine.... 3k @ 75 MPH, you do the math.

I was running late to work last week and I hit about 110mph on the 10 fwy in Palm Desert and it was surreal. Kinda reminded me of those "bumper cam" shots in Road Warrior where the tape was sped up to make it look faster?....weird. I usually keep it under 80 but even in my '00 Golf 120 didn't look that funny

You should all be ashamed of yourselves. You should not be going that fast on highways. You could hurt/kill yourself and/or someone else. Keep it on the track people.

i pretty much top out at 110-115... thats when it pretty much stops, give me another minute and i might be able to coax it to 120... that is on flat road no tail wind... is your box blown?

You're mocking someone who's disapproving of speeding almost double the legal limit on a highway? Are you mentally retarded?

Steering wheel vibrates like a sex toy.
