I need to be careful

I was driving the other day on our local highway, speed limit is 60 and this bug in front of me is doing 55. So I sorta punch it, not wot, hit about 5k rpm, shift to 6th, pass a few cars in the process. Next thing I notice I'm doing 100. I usually shut down at 90 or lower in my last car but this EVO is so smooth I think I could have kept going before I realized I was going too fast.

No street racing! Just kidding, yes it is a fast car and very stable, aside from the loud exhaust you wont know your going that fast.
