High speed...

[Nick Stuart]

I agree with you here. My 5kcstq can easily do 120-130 with room left to go
on the tach. I love suprising the local hicks around here when I pass them
going 100mph. Never seen a GMC that could get up past the 85mph mark where I
start to loose them in my rear view mirror. :)
Best on was when a old GMC pickup (with a snowplower in the back) thought he
could keep me from passing him. We were doing 45 in a 55 and we were right
at a passing zone. I just dropped her into third and around I ago. Funny
thing is that the line of people behind me were about to pass him as well
but he sped up to much so they backed off. He tried to keep up, but needless
to say....he didn't.
