Note** Moderator shut down replies to the above thread, why ??   That's
a
stupid new development.  Google may NOT be your friend after all.

Ok, back to the topic of fast driving:
I HAVE gone 130 in that car, a post claims I could have gone 140.  Even
w/ the low racing gears w/ their poor mileage return, the tach
red-lines at about 160.  Speed isn't necessarily what kills engines, it
is usually acceleration, as every idiot out there has to express their
frustrations with threatening driving tactics.

I am a trucker: I drive the speed limit or below, as I get more miles
under my belt.

Frankly I feel that fast driving is related to moonshining.  Even as a
Northerner, I have always admired the early greats-- near Asheville, I
ate some of Junior Johnson's' excellent mountain junk food !!

If I am feeling the rebel in me, I let everybody know.  Otherwise, I
conserve fuel.

FTL !!!

Just joined group - sorry I missed this post... Wondering if model you were
speaking of is the tiburon?  I have had mine up to 140 with only a short ram
intake.  Have since added an excelerator chip that seems to increase
responsiveness - I haven't taken it out all the way since this install... I
have a 2005 V6 automatic Tiburon with Shiftronic.  I have been experimenting
with ways to increase the acceleration and responsiveness in this automatic.
I have done pretty good so far - no dyno readings, but I can feel the
difference.
