Close, it has a message that pops up, says, "Speed Limited to 113 mph"

Sorry for not reposting was in in Utah this last week. The Porsches headlight were actually on the outside not hidden similar to the 911. That I do know. I also think I reached the speed limiter then which I thought was 117mph. Its weird cause that it felt like I went top speed in about 4 sec which could of been more like 10 sec.

I'm also edging my friend with a 98 GTP to go for a quick run to see how I fare. I'll try to get video when we do.

The car always feels faster when you're driving it than what it really is, lol, kinda sucks, and makes me wonder what those really fast cars feel like.

I wonder the same thing. If this felt fast what will say Cobra, Camaro SS or any high power car that will make me look like I'm going in reverse feel like.

Lol. I remember when I bought my '03 SS it felt so fast, that's because my last car was a 1997 Chrysler Sebring pushing out 163HP, my new 3800 felt incredible. Wasn't till I started viewing times for the other cars I realized how slow it actually was. I also remember around the same time I bought my '03 SS I got to test drive a 1999 Camaro Z28, 5.7 liter v8, 305HP...that thing would launch like a rocket from a roll, 30mph, stomp on it and you could feel your stomach lift in your seat. It was a lot of fun.

I'm hoping that my new L67 will deliver something similar.

Was it a 968 perhaps? They can get up and move, especially the 301hp/369lbft turbo versions.

Well I think initially I will be very very happy with my new Monte Carlo, then after several months I will only be satisfied, and I can live with satisfied. I'm not in it for killing every car out there, but I do want something decently fast.
