Default Go Speedracer, go!

Ok, I finally hopped on the highway to see how fast I could push my baby. But there was a problem.I got it to 110 but I didn't want to go anyfastercuz it seems like it becomes a little harder to control. Its not like it was trying to swerve but it seemed like I needed to steady the wheel more and morethe faster I went. Why does this happen? My old car seemed more stable but it was atx.

Thats the way 5speeds are autos are better to control thats what I think at least . my acr srt4 was harder to control more than both of my autos. I got my sxt up to 125and no problems with anything.

Plus we have neons not meant to go that fast only if you have the mods to help like turbo . I dont drive my sxt faster than 90 least try not to . Very hard on everything.

Its hard on your ride unless you have the mods to do it if you dont than its useless driving over 90 and unsafe you could lose control.

Yea, higher speeds mean higher rpms which means the engine works harder. And that means more heat and friction which makes the engine wear faster.

The "unstable" feeling you expereinced has nothing to do with your transmission, but it has everything to do with your tires and suspension...
