Yes these cars are very smooth at high speeds. My monte is governed at 112.. Ive held it long enough so that the tranny went into OD and was at 3500 rpms i believe.. I know in 3rd its at 4000 something rpms. I always find myself running 90 on the highway and no one in the car ever says anything unless they look at the speedo, because its riding so smoothly.

the car is pretty much stock except for cai & exhaust, i was very suprised it went that fast & it rode nicly, ive been in gtos at 170 & topped the Saleen S281 S/C at 190 & both of those were freaky, once i get new tires im gonna top it out again & take a pic to post, i usually snap a photo everytime i go really fast lol it was deff fun to do

Cool

ive hit about 135mph before.
i have a video where im hitting around 120 and my car's basically stock.
all i did was double peddal the gas and it goes faster. my car hits 110 & then the RPMs go down, after the double peddal it goes faster and it makes my RPMs rise too.
