Default today something really weird happend to my monte..

I was on the express and it was pretty clear for the most part so i thought eh lets gun it... So i got to like 114 and it like pulled to the left and it seemed as if it was going to shut off i actually kind of got scared lol... Cause i was in the fast lane and the wall was next to me so it pulled the wheel toward the wall.. ? Anyone know why it would do this..

Torque steer, but i dont know how bad these cars are with that. Possible brake hanging up, alignment problem. Alot of things could cause that.

That would happen at 114 MPH?

Torque steer won't even happen on a stock 3.8. Maybe in the rain or snow, at under 30.

You probably hit the limiter and it cut power. Maybe you just hit a lower spot at that time and it was pulling you towards the wall. Most people don't go 100+ on roads with walls, so they aren't designed for it.

If it was to cut power wouldnt i have to restart it myself or would it turn back on? And yeah im not like most people :p

The limiter doesn't turn off the engine. It just prevents you from going any faster.

Could it be because i need new tires? and at 114 they couldnt handle it cause they are older

Unless you get your limiter removed you won't go over 114. And why would you even try to go over that on old tires? If you hit the limiter you will lose power for a second and the front end will dive, just as if you let off the gas abruptly. If it pulled sideways you have alignment issues, or as I said before you hit a banked part of the road.
