I will admit if u hit a dip going at high speeds u do feel like u don't have control but I think most people just dont feel safe with the body roll.
Okay, now I've heard it all. One thing I love about my Park is the fact that I don't feel like I have to go fast. The car is just too heavy for that kind of driving. Some idiot tonight came flying up behind me in a Buick, I think a LeSabre, but it was going to fast for me to tell. He must have been doing over 100mph. Anyone stupid enough to drive that fast in a car that heavy deserves to kiss the guardrail. I'm not going to brag about my driving skills. But if I ever catch anyone going that fast while I'm driving my truck, believe me, I will catch you and call the cops. And yes, I did remove the speed limiter on my ZR2. It kicked on a few too many times dealing with douchebags like that.

Re: 95 PA ride leveling system??

Everyone who drives a buick isn't a gray head. One thing about buicks is that a lot of times you'll be driving faster than expected becuase the car is so smooth and it has decent power. And thats not just my opinion. Also PA aren't that heavy. A little over 3500 pounds. Alot of newer cars weight around the same. Also the govener doesn't kick in until 127mph so its not like there slow. Driving slow is not a requirement if you have a buick.

I'm not advocating driving fast but just putting in perspective that these cars can be drivin fast without killing yourself and have the potential. Usuallly the police eventually take care of fast drivers.

Sometime people like to test you becuase you drive a buick. The last time i raced a S-10 they provoked the race and got spanked. I guess they thought they had a easy win. just my opinion though

Again, I won't brag about my driving skills. And it's way too fast. Nearly two tons of steel going over the speed limit at all is unecessary. My ZR2 weighs less than that, has much wider tires, and stiffer ride. I still wouldn't race you. I'd just make sure I got your plate numbers.

I gave up street racing after the Grand Am. Keep it on the track.

Re: 95 PA ride leveling system??

Check to see if the fuse for the air compressor hasn't blown or the air compressor hasn't been disconnected. It in the fuse panel under the driver's side dash.

Side note-did you ever solve your a/c problem?

Feel free to post the pics here, asking for a personal email address is not acceptable.
