I didn't know it get there by feeling lol. Not like up here there is a corner about 1/4mile or serveral coner in to one place so I can't really go fast up here. Speed limit up here is 65mph is max no more than that. |
yea thats why i love the highways here in illinois. they are W I D E, with wide lanes and wide sholders. its really easy to hit those speed often, sometime you'll be on an open stretch highway, 3lanes and like only a handfull of cars in the next coming miles.
Also samething happens on the even wider highways, like we have some places with 4lanes, 5lanes, 6lanes in one direction, you just can't resist. especially with the powerfull top end our cars have, i mean after like 100mph its nothing to hit 140+. after i got my chip installed I hit the highway to see if i'll hit 140+ faster then before, and not only was it faster, i felt like it was easier on the engine.
