Re: 71mpg, 75mph in Atlanta
Jonathan,
I felt maybe the first signs of my Suzy breaking out today... there seemed to be a little extra punch up in the higher end of 5th (like neck snapping punch.) Usually, it's a grind to get from 50 to 60, but I goosed it today when I got to the straightaway, and jerked back in the seat. However, later on, when I tried to see if I could get it over 60, I ran out of road. I think the wind kind of reaches a state of equilibrium with my body that can't be overcome. But if she continues to show some spunk in that 45-60 range (which is all in 5th) that will be a welcome improvement. I haven't dropped mine yet, but I've been assured it's inevitable. Can't hardly wait for it now. Might rain today... sweet! -Alan
