It sounds more
roguish than it is. I normally don't speed on the street (77 on the highway
had me getting passed by everything including cops). I had JUST gotten back on
the road after hanging up with Flounder and was feeling the racing love. There
was a spectacular, empty on ramp in Georgia, triple S chicane, no traffic on
I-75. There was a bank, it had an OBVIOUS racing line, so I told Mom to hold
on to see how stable the car was (I am considering a coupe). Put the pedal
down in semi-auto mode, car was absolutely drama free, I lifted once it
settled into the blend line (sorry, I forget what it's called in real life). I
would have guessed maybe 80 MPH. Speedo was dipping below 100 quickly when I
looked. Checked GPS max speed and it was 119. White Trash is more dramatic on
a pace lap. And as far as the inline 6 debate, if there's one smoother than
the Bimmer's, I'm all ears.
