speed ceiling???
is there a computer generated "ceiling" on a 86 GXL
i know there prolly isnt, but why would i top out a 110?
i got to 110 pretty fast, but then i was still flooring it and it just stayed there for like 3 minutes, then i had to slow down cause of the road, but its kinda annoying when a v6 rustang passes you at 100 and i couldnt catch him
I NEED TO AVENGE MY 7!!!!

You gotta wind that sucker out. 5th gear is going to kill your acceleration, so you need to be as deep into your power range as possible before going to 5th. Shift it at redline, and you'll see better results.
Now, WTF are you doing at 110 on public streets? Take this **** to the track!

90!?!?!? dood you can get up to 110 easily in 4th gear....bring that **** up as far as you can, then shift to 5th, like Silk said, 5th has hardly any acceleration so you've got to get as much out of 4th as you can...

i can hit 100+ in 3rd before i have to go to 4th.
sorry silk, i know i should keep it at the track...but it's just too tempting on an open road late at night.

I hit 110 in fourth gear at 6000 rpms. Then I started going up a small hill and had to slow down because I caught up to my friend. But somewhere around 105 the car started to shake like a mother, more than I have ever felt in any vehicle. It was a very solid shake through out the whole car. Does any one have a remedy for that.
Thanks
Ryan
