Default WOW!!!!

I just went home to Va. for Turkey Day and I got to experience somewhat of how fast my 97 850 GLT is. As I was cruising, at about 70mph and accelerated to either pass slower vehicles or to get a speed fix, I was surprised and quite pleased at the acceleration. WOW!!!! It makes me wonder about the speed of a T-5 or an R. I tried to hang with this Porsche, but didn't have the nerve to go as fast as he. Still it was a blast to drop traffic traveling at 70mph with just a slight push of the pedal.

HAHA....I think everybody gets that feeling once in awhile.
If you car is stock, just wait to you turn the boost up some.
You will wonder why you haven't done that before.
