[DMCForum] Re: How humiliating...

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm more of a top-end guy myself. Acceleration is great and all but I 
like the final number.

I rented a new Monte Carlo and a Mustang when I was sent to Arizona 
for a class for 2 weeks. I drove back and forth between Sierra Vista 
and Tuscon a couple times at 110 mph. The only reason I stopped there 
was fear. :)
