Whaddup, MemRheins?

I mean, the guy wasn't being a jerk or anything, he just said you started a similar thread.

BTW, calling a member a "kid" when you're 18, and a n00b when you yourself have been here for a little more than half a year is a little

I only reached 133-ish in 5th. I had to shift to 6th to get to the top speed I've achieved of 144. It took a minute to get there once I shifted. 6th is taller than you think. Last run I made was on the 8th of last month on highway 281 between Johnson City and Blanco. The cool part is that it's a short 7 minutes between these 2 towns (that are 15 miles apart).

This map is of the last group drive I went on last month.
Side note: The car is not rev limited to a speed (that I've experienced), it's drag limited. I was at roughly 6200 RPM at 144 in 6th. If I had a lower suspension, lower resistance tires (that wouldn't handle the speed rating), and a little more room to work with, I bet I could get it up a little higher. Each time I've done a top speed run, I've eventually encountered traffic that made me back off a little bit. Though each run over 140 had barely started to pull at that speed. Drag limitations really start kicking in at that speed.

Ah, to be tooling around lake LBJ in a TSX.................... sweet.

I would think the armadillos would be worse than the traffic. Remember hitting one in the hill country one time, like hitting a freaking boulder. and the dillo walked off............

Wow Kurt...that's some group drive...

I wonder if the Chicago peeps would want a group drove down Lake Shore Drive... We'll probably lose each other in traffic
