Default you know, the difference between 80 and 100 in this car is just not that much

coming home from yet another interview, irritated at the world. surrounded by a bunch of slowpokes on the road today. i put it up to high 70's to pass them. one of the soon to be "left behind" thinks his neon with an aftermarket exhaust is going to teach me a lesson.

after he is about 10 car lengths behind, i look to see what my speed was. i was doing about 107. but i got there in about 7 seconds. good thing i looked too. the next onramp produced a dps officer. fortunately he had other concerns and left me behind without even a glance.

Default Try going 140, then tell me what 100 feels like!

Don't try this just anywhere.
It has to be on a long straight away, with very, very little traffic on the highway.

Only did it twice, but it was responsibly. It does not sound quite right, since it was a state highway.

Default But usually for me, it's on 59 headed south just past the BMW dealership :)

...and then 100 feels about like 65mph.

I-95 has very few spots to go into that far in triple digits! But...good run.
