The SS does 90 MPH at 2k RPM like a sedan cruising at 55.

I just cant get over that.

Its wicked how potent these cars are out the box.

I was on TX130 and caught myself doing 5 over the limit (85 speed zone) and it basically felt like it wasn't even trying.

Love it.

I hit 117 on TX130 but didn't notice what the RPMs were.

I was used to driving my old Mazda 3 on trips to Las Vegas. This last time in the camaro I was able to open it up on I15. The wife was shocked how quiet and smooth the ride was at the higher speeds. I love my SS.

A bunch of us were going the back way to Reno when we we passed a SUV on a rural 2 lane road. I looked down and was doing 115 at about 3k. The girlfriend and I were both stunned how smooth it is.
I love my car!

It's funny, because I'm reading this, and this is how you describe a Porsche. For GM to release a chassis that feels this stable at speed is beyond impressive...

You guys have 85mph speed zones? 70 is the highest we have here which makes your thread title dangerous for me LOL. No tickets yet though (knock on wood)
