launching @ 80
well, not really but..... anyone else enjoy the ability this car (mn6) has to launch at 80. she is just amazing at how she can go from cruising along at 80 mph to flying at 120 in mere seconds. It is simply incredible how nicely she handles a sixth the fourth downshift while at speed (75-80).

With the procharger and 2.72 gears at 70-80 MPH I'm cruising @ 1750-2000 RPM's in drive or D. I punch the gas and the tires lay patches and a nice scream at the next shift point. My friend gets pissed as I pull away from him in his GTA

Did your friend happen to have the '89 GTA with the V6 Turbo found on the GN's?? If he did, you know what those cars can do with upgraded turbo.
