i drove mine in normal most of the time. it was more of a relaxing daily driver, so it never really got dogged out. except of course, on the highway sprints.

Hmm....well, the stats that I read where done before 89, and in 89 they changed the gear ration in the rear end for more top end apparently... Only way to find out is to push it that hard. Find a nice straight desert road.....

Downforce would make you stay on the road pretty well, but if I was going to go that fast I'd scope out the road first and make sure it's smooth enough for such a bombing run B)
