Is wider better?

Well, yes it is. It doesn't seem to be working to well for some Pontiac owners. For one the guy I told you about that was driving drunk, well that was excusable, though I am still trying to figure out how he lost control, he didn't seem to be going that fast. Second was the Pontiac Grand Am GT is raced onto the interstate in my next story.

I was next to UVSC heading to the interstate. I was in the right lane and the car behind switched into the middle. He keeps inching forward and revving the engine. The light turned green and we took off. He kept up with me pretty well but I just kept walking on him. He pulled in behind me and we took the turn on the onramp. I kept slowed to about 65MPH and took the turn with very little complaint from the tires; he tried to keep up but had to slow down substantially to keep it on the road. Then he tried catching up to me. No such luck. Another one bites the dust. Keep in mind that my car is misfiring and has an EGR backpressure problem. I mean, hell, it could have burnt valves for all I know or a dead injector. I should take it in.

Also, you must see this. This is me a Neutrino last night. I hit 110MPH with plenty of room to go on the tach. It is a little fuzzy cause Neutrino can't hold the camera steady. I have found that I either have a speed limiter or too much backpressure or both.

I cannot hold the camera steady? Before blaming the me maybe you should rebalance the tires so your car will not shake like jello above 80mph.

Once I can get my car out of second gear I'll take one at 130.

I just wish I had a picture of the GTC wrapped back around to 35MPH with the tach at about 6000RPM, man that was fun.

I can't wait to see your pics, I like seeing people breaking the speed limit whenever they can.
