You know, 2 nights ago, I gave it a shot myself. Three times lol (it was 1:30somethin in the AM...streets were empty)

Took her up to 140 twice in 4th, obviously into the redline, then backed down. That's the fastest I've ever been so far. It was on a slight decline that flattens out, so I gathered speed pretty damn quick.

Then on the way back home, I tried it again, same area, but in the opposite direction, so I was going uphill. I hit 140, pushed her into 5th, and I coulda sworn she just sat there at a hair below 140, revs were somewhere around 5K i believe, not slowing down, not going any faster, for maybe 4 or 5 seconds, when I let off.

My boost has been fine, at 13psi solid, but I honestly couldn't tell you if I had all 13psi at that very instant, cuz that was the LAST thing on my mind. Doing this at copland, in a place were deer aren't uncommon, and simply going that fast...needless to say I had enough to hyperventilate over lol

But I'mma have to try that again, cuz I coulda SWORN she wasn't accelerating anymore once I got into 5th. Maybe cuz it's cuz of the incline...and it just needed more time, which I was too scared to give.

yeah, i was a hairline away from 140 in 5th, i didnt pay attention to how fast i was going in 4th i just waited till i felt like i was topped out and then i looked down to see how fast i was going and i monitored it for about 30 seconds looking up and down at about 2 sec intervals to make sure i wasnt about to go off the road and die. just sat there.... definantly need to figure out wtf is wrong...
