My wife put it at 60 on cruise control just for fun to see if we could make it all the way without slowing down. She did! If I had a trophy I would present it to her. You just can't beat the handling.

That sounds like a fun game. I think I'll try it on some twisty country roads near me. When I see one of those snake signs that mean there's a twisty ahead I try to at least double the recommended speed or I feel like a wimp. If it says 25, it's 50.

Straight speed is fun, but the handling at speed is much more important/fun for me. I love Idaho.

Handling and braking are far important to me than an excess of power. But, ya know, if you can give me a good shove back in the seat, I'm a happy guy.
