If you were on a closed course and had the ability too, why didn't you go as high as you could?

127 is the max I believe. It runs out of gear at that point (so I've read in the TC forum).

I wish we would have got the 5th gear from the 5-speed camry (for better fuel economy).

Make us proud coryjames

I think the max I've gone is 101 & I backed off. Didn't want to risk a ticket or worse being arrested

At just above 90+ the stock suspension is a bit dicy. Made me nervous. Need sway bars and better shocks for that.

Ive been to 125 on the stock suspension and stock steel wheels on 15 going to Vegas. Handled great never felt like the car was out of control or anything. Ive had the cruise on at 105 and it cruises like a champ. Guess thats why i get 18 MPG HWY

A lot faster than I ever want my xB to go. I just don't see the purpose, but I guess I am at that age where pushing something to the limit just for the sake of doing so is long gone!

Just be careful because it is doing stuff like this that get folks killed! I do remember those wild days though, but it was with a Camaro Z-28. LOL
