On my 97, when I was racin an Explorer, (What a joke, he actually tryed) I
was well well way ahead when I hit 115, and she started cuttin off... it was
about 115-116ish... I just hit OD too... =/
Oh well.... 115 on flat bridge feels nice =-) Not so nice when a 3000 GT
dosent have a limiter that low =/
Oh well... but anyways.. Mines 115ish
