RE: Speed Limiter
Not only the animals jumping in front of you, but what if a hidden driveway showed up with a car pulling out? I LOVE going fast, but I keep it at the track. I'm a fire fighter and I've seen plenty of high speed collisions/fatalities. Besides, to the person who started the thread...do you still have stock Eagle RS-A's on your car or do you have better tires? (I'm not a fan of the eagle's, maybe some of you have had better experiences) Be safe everyone!

Wow, nice recovery of a 2004 thread.
I did start this thread and just install my third set of RSA's not too long ago.
The RSA is a great tire for dry roads. I take it a bit easier on wet pavement but find the RSA's to grip pretty damn good otherwise.

also, have had NO problems with my RSA-W's... but, like IAHKAT, i do take it easy on wet roads (still nervous after Christmas) and leave my trunk empty!
and that's true on the recovery! i just noticed it in the "Recent posts" box and commented... never looked at the post dates!

that's true! luckily, after sunset, you can see vehicles coming from driveways MILES before they do (my home county has some of the best straight-aways around!) i've only done it once w/ my Intimidator, though, and don't intend to do it again any time soon (gas - $3.25+/- andtires $300) I would run my '02 up in the 110 area whenever it got nice out, though... maybe (to pull in another thread) that wood block on the pedal is in order...

I'd like to run to MIS sometime and take my car up to 110-115 sometime to see how she handles. Although it'll have to wait until I get the right speed-rated tires. Be safe!!
