that's because the gov't purposely made the roads curvy after every so long of a straight away to keep drivers alert and such,

also the 3500 supposedly pulled a trailer at 140 in the rain but she just kept saying it was because it was a turbo diesel

I actually got to 110-115 in my 3.9. That was sketchyyyyy because its not low to the ground so I barely touched the brake and they locked up because all the air pushing underneath. Iv done like 124 or something like that when the gov. kicks in in my moms volvo s60. That things gets to 100 pretty easy and not too much harder to get to 120.

ya my dads volvo is decent, i prefer my truck (for the sound ) but at 115 it felt like it still had a lot to give, esp since i was at the 3000 rpm mark and thats right in the sweet spot with it...

XC70 not as fast as a T5 S60 but still quick and torque-y (once the turbo kicks in)
