lol...Sorry about that. I was experiencing some internet problems and I thought my message got submitted.

I bought my car about a month ago with some crappy, damaged tires. So, I was scared to go faster than 80 mph. Just yesterday, I bought some H-rated tires and took my car up to 110. It was so smooth. My car was still in 3rd gear with plently left to go. I was a little surprised. This is my first decent car and I am VERY glad I picked a Maxima.

The VE 5sp tops out at about 150 with some basic mods/tuning.... I know, I've been there before. Of course, thats child's play now for my car.
