Thanks Blue, I agree I have no intentions on even trying to take my truck to 140 mph, It is a truck, and personnelly I dont think the areo dynamics were designed for that kind of speed, things happen WAY to fast @ that speed, in addition to other issues , like a tire that is not rated for that kind of speed, Blowing out that would be a bad thing, I had it happpen to me when I owned an Eclipse I was traveling at about 100 mph, I am greatfull it was in that car because when it happened all hell broke loose, it took evey bit of my driving experience to keep the car on the road and foot off the break, not that I am any kind of pro when it comes to driving, A proffesional would know better!!!! Anyway, I was also told when considering "Z" at Nissan that that car was designed for speed, they had a used one that was completly tricked out, carbon hood fenders spoiler, and tons of other upgrades , the saleman said that they took that care to a track in Las Vegas and hit 220 mph, how true? I dont know, it may have been a sales pitch.
Anyway,I dont know if I would ever even go 125 mph in my truck ( I wouldnt want to hurt my Girl lol), its just a macho , ego thing, I think.
Just knowing that the ponys are ready to run is what I am looking for.
Take Care,
Goose.
