i used to go as fast as my old r/t would go all the time...but it had suspension and tires that would hold up to it.
I agree with that spud, but i didn't loose my need for high speeds. I'm just taking my need and putting it in a controlled environment. The race track. Going to be taking my Neon to Road Atlanta for the first time this year. It's the only safe way to go.

I like to feel the torque. Thats about it. I dont care much for high speeds. Some tires are not even rated for 90mph let alone 120.

Im at the point where I like the pull from around 30 up to 70-75. Occasionally Ill go ***** to the walls and see what it can do, but most of the time the pull up to 75 is enough for me.

dont plan on it....trying to get a car to go as fast as it can is pointless...
ive had too many close calls in my time and ive got more important stuff to do.....
i havent even taken a car over 80mph since i got rid of my red r/t....and im perfectly happy...i dont have the money or time to waste on tickets or ruining my car....

On the highways here in ATL, 75 mph and u'll get ur *** ran off the road. everyone likes to go 90 around here.

My Neon has a really nice pull from 40-100. Kinda starts slowing down after that, but It still pulls hard as hell.

Talking

My mom works for the city here, she found out that the new plan for are city is "stop the racers before they race" A few days ago I was pulled over twice within 5 minutes and 4 blocks. I was on my way home from eating. I cant even enjoy the rides home because other people messed it up for me. I have a feeling that with all these retards driving, the government will start regulating the cars in some way. I have a kid that drives 50mph+ down my street, i throw rocks at his car. The day I finished my turbo neon, I went down the road to find one car crashed in the ditch. I pulled up and they were pulling 4 dead bodys out of the car ages 16-18. There were racing at 100mph+ brakes went out and they hit the T intersection and they were done, one person lived. I have seen alot around here. I think thats most the reason I stay away from high speeds. If I ever hear of anyone flying down residential I will personally slap you. That is so dumb. I will throw rocks at your car :-). Keep the speeds down!
