Here in chicago they call it Ipass and when it gets below $10.00 it automatically adds another $30.00 to my account.

Hawaii = bad roads, lots of places to "push" the car around.

btw, the car wasnt made for 100mph+ - it was made more for twisties IIRC. @ 100mph the s2k has 40lbs of LIFT on its ass, Ive read before..

Almost on a daily basis. The stretch of I-40 between the last exit on the AR side going into Memphis, TN. It's like 3 miles of no-man's land, rarely is there a cop and it's 3 lanes of never congested highway. Depending on the time of day, you can really open it up.

I really haven't felt like the car was unstable until at least 130. Feels rock solid at 100 mph. I regularly go 80-90 if the traffic is light enough. 75-80 is about normal, ......


And I do about the same typical speeds--it's pretty rare for me to go faster than 90mph. I have loads more fun going 60mph on a curvy road than 100+ on a straight one anyway.

But the fastest I've ever driven was out on an empty section of I-80 out near Arizona--I wanted to top the car out once. I came over a big ridge and saw there was absolutely nothing but dirt for dozens of miles--zero cars on my side of the freeway for the several miles I could see ahead. I got into the high 140s, but I had started to catch up to another car so I let off and slowed way down before I passed the guy.

But somewhere around 130-140-ish I started to think it would need a wing to do these kinds of speeds--it started to feel just a little too loose for comfort.

Not for the straights, that's for sure.
