Yeah, but the real question is how long did it take you to get that fast?

Those aren't bragging numbers. 20 seconds is a LONG time to reach 120. I am glad that you had the chance and good fortune to safely have your car at that speed, but 20 seconds from 80 to 120? That CAN'T be right.

1) You've pretty much found the limit to a stock NA 3800. 20 seconds from 80-120mph is kind slow.

2) Why were you letting your wife drive that fast? lol

that definately isnt the limit of an n/a 3800. i hit 140 in mine. granted, i have a CAI, but i highly doubt that had any significant impact on my top speed.
