what part of pa did u go through?? there arent any hills on the south east side of pa, i travel to ny all the time from pa and never see hills and all like u are explaining what road/hwy/interstate do u take??

I take I-95 all the way down and never really see any hills till u get to lower MD Virginia and so on, thats when it starts to get hilly and mountains but very nice sight seeing!!!!

I Drived 400KM, Doing 180KMPH And slow down to 120KMPH Every 30 Minute. (Didnt Want The Turbo Spool For The Whole 400KM).

Not Comfortable At All, Loud Noise And When I Arrived I Had Troubles (I Think) With The Cluch's, Loose And Weak. (Not Easy To Shift)

I just did a 1550 mile trip from NY- Sabine TX in one sitting. Took me 23 hrs. I stoped every 280 miles for a fill up and some energy drinks. I was averaging 80 mph give or take most of the trip. Got cought is some rush hour traffic in Louisiana. Honestly the trip wasn't great, and my right knee was killing me for a week. I dont have cruise control like most so that really sucked. But all in all, it was ok.

:lol: I agree. I travel from Northern NJ near NYC to NC frequently and until you get past richmond is when the scenary gets nice and hilly. All of NJ is traffic-invested. haha

What are you talking about? Once you get to a constant speed you shouldn't be boosting. What did your boost gauge read?

It looks like i'll be feeling the pain if I do this.

I used to drive to Phoenix every weekend for about a month.I drove 400 miles each way and the car drove perfectly.

XIEvolutionIX Mar 23, 2008 09:41 AM

i would most definitely have my car impounded if i drove for more than 100 miles on the high way, i couldnt let my knee cramp up holding the throttle in one spot...

Fuxton Mar 23, 2008 09:44 AM

i went from ny to sc. It was a little over 700 miles. I thought it was fine. Got better mileage than i thought i was gonna get. lol
