Nice, Cee! I've had my current car (RX-8) up to 155 but was white knuckled and ass-puckered. On the other hand, I've had the wife's SUV north of 120mph and it felt as smooth and solid as going 60 (I guess they build those European cars like that for a reason : ). All this talk is making me miss going to the track!!
