Aside from that, I rarely see 80. The highest speed limit on my Island is 55, and that's on a two lane road - cops will write you for two over.. My commute to work is regulated to a max of 50, and even if I wanted to go *****-out, there is a constant flow of traffic so forget it. Besides that, it's barely three miles one way. The only two-lane available is through the middle of town and the speed limit there is 30 - 35.
The only exercise my G gets is when I go off the Island, and that's about once every couple of months...
I'm fux0red.

I haven't taken my car to the track and personally do not intend to attempt any top speed run on the street.

Video of when i first got my g, stock except for exhaust... about 130 pay attention to the wind noise, that was on a completely still night, windows up and AC off, you can hear the engine but then it just turns into wind... i would say 170 would be about the fast i could reasonably get out of my coupe with a few more mods and definately a major tune / ecu before the wind was way too much of a factor, the drag was definately noticable
and yes, i know it was stupid, and it was shot with my camera phone, for the record.
