Default Saw Triple Digits Today

Hit 110 and then 116 on empty 4-lane on the MY04. Very stable but there seems to be a lot of aerodynamic drag as the speed increases. It was pretty windy today which may have affected my impression. Car sounded good.

hmm... I seem to have the same sticky throttle problem too... wonder if there is "fix" for that

but the engine sounds really cool at full throttle with the top off of the airbox...

Cruising in my car at 80, you downshift to fourth and WHAM........crossing 100, 110, 120, 130..........this damn supercharger is quite the liability.
