I think some with the auto ss say it pushes a little higher in "I" mode.

thanks, exhaust is honestly my next step, was thinking bout the hahn catless down pipe without cat, and their three inch exhaust. looked at some posts about dejon's kinda turned me away. never really been a magnaflow kinda guy always flowmaster, but looking for the complete kit and flowmaster doesn't have anything for us.

Fix the broken windsheild and clean the bugs and you may have topped 140.

Now that the Video is out the GM guys in the black Tahoes will track you down and void you warranty. LOL!

Cool

that windsheild does look pretty crappy, started as a small chip under my wiper, then during the winter months if texas, had to put the defrost on to melt the ice, well you know what happens when you mix hot and cold. my result a cracked windshield. will get replaced soon. bugs on the other hand, going that fast, don't really have the chance to dodge them. I also made sure there was no incriminating evidence against me for the law breaking incident that occured, just didn't see any vids online with our cars going faster and was like what the hell.

How did it feel at 138? I haven't had the SS over about 95. Not too many opportunities so far. The wife doesn't appreciate it much. It seems like it would be pretty stable over 100 but things change pretty quick up there.

Years ago I dropped a 3800SC into an 86 Old Ciera GT. Heading home one night, the freeway was completely empty so I opened it up. I got to 140 (and still climbing) and starting thinking about all of the bolts I had to put in for the swap and starting questioning if I tightened all of them. I let off... I had Eibachs and KYBs and it was very stable. Ah the old days.
