100kmph-150kmph

Just drove from Vancouver to Nelson in British Columbia.
Some very nice streches of highway and good challenging curves and bends.
Had several opportunities to just open it up and I have to say I always knew the coupe was good from 0-100, but it's also not too shabby from 100-150...the drop from 5th gear to 3rd is almost instantaneous and very responsive. Have to say I'm impressed! Way to go G!

Kleicoupe, If I'm not mistaken I believe they're talking about KPH not MPH

the G gains speed rather well... two nights ago i was on the 10 late at night and hit a stretch so i opened it up and just took off... topped the car out around 155mph... it wouldnt let me go faster... im assuming its the governor? But yea the plenum puillies and HFC's really helped a lot on the pull from 100mph +

I just got back from Vancouver and Victoria...yeah that town got some nice roads. Some areas reminds me of the roads in Japan. Also, one of my favorite twisty turn roads is the coastline on Highway 1 in California. Roads like these are fun to drive with the G...now I'm in Flat *** Texas..but not to shaby since Austin got's a few hills here and there.
