I was testing my straight line speed and it seems that it is limited to 98mph. Is this correct?

I just broke in my engine - I'm barely over 500 miles and haven't even put in my radar detector or jammer yet...

I will have to defer your question to HIHUMMER

LMAO

That was funny!

sounds about right. vehicle car manufacturers limit top speed per speed rating of tire. i believe H3 tires are "R" rated so max speed is 106 mph; leaves a 5-6 mph fudge factor. helps limit liability from future lawsuits.

I just don't understand why you would want to have a brick go fast, if you wnt to go fast , get a Corvette!

Blah blah I know. I've got one of these to go fast.

Rayenet, was looking at one. How is the ride? Is it as good as all the magazines say? Road noise? Bumps? Thanks for sharing your info!

Is that a Lotus Elise? Very cool,
and probably handles really well, right?
Great complement to the H3.

I've topped out at around 98 - 100, the majority of my GM vehicles do the same.

It is everything they say and more! It's the purest sports car I've ever driven. Excellent ride and handling, with a nice exhaust note. It pulls a little over 1g on the skidpad and goes 0-60 in 4.7 seconds.

My only complaint is that it's difficult to get in and out of it without looking like a contortionist.

I didn't know that the Elise went 0-60 in 4.7 seconds -- Excellent.

I think you would definitely get a few good looks
if you were to tow the Elise on a small trailer
behind the H3...

Overall it complements my Boulder Grey H3 very well and I'll post some pics of the two "little monsters" together soon.

You're right, that would definitely get a few good looks!

I just saw a red Elise today.. I've only seen a few so far... It sure turned my head when it went the other way on the highway... Sweet ride!!!

I sat in one at the 04' auto show and needed help getting out of it, lol!! I think 1,000 people saw that behind the velvet rope... Pretty embarassing...
