this reminds me of the thread where the cx7 owner was all irate that his turbo SUV wouldn't go much past 105mph. you know, because thats necessary and safe for a vehicle like a cx7.
is there any reason - any real reason - to go past 135mph in any car? sure there is, if you own a NASCAR stock car, an IRL or Formula1 car or a top fuel dragster. you'll never see that rate of speed autocrossing, never really see it on a road course (safely in a protege anyway), probably not on a dragstrip in this car and so what if the VEEDUB homies think they're all bad? they won't look so bad when they pile into a median or overpass support at 130+ now will they?
