New Red Automatic ( I saw it today in a showroom here in AZ )

Well I've put about 1200 miles on mine so far driving it daily and I haven't had near the problems these guys have.. I've had the stereo cut off twice due to sustained high volume levels and the amp getting hot.. but you just turn it off wait a min and turn it back on and it's fine.. I've had the temp shoot up one time waiting at Sonic for my food so I just shut it off.. Hasn't done it since.. The clunk noise from the rear when shifting hard has gone away in my car.. so i think it may just have been from everything being brand new needing some break in wear.. The first time I drove it it clunked real loud but now it doesn't do it at all and I've driven it alot harder than I did that first time. Other than that my new GTO is performing flawlessly and I drive it like it's mine.. I've had it up to 140 in 5th gear without it even breathing hard and I can tell you it's as smooth as a babys butt and it's got A LOT left in it... Haven't put it to the test yet..

140 not bad, (please tell me you were not in a built up area), they have had them up to 270kph which is around 170mph, in one our car mags annual speed tests. They are around 4 mph faster than the sedans, due to slightly lower roodline, and etc.
Don't think they changed rear gears on the manual only the auto.
Enjoy.

Sometimes I get jacked up and drive my Chevelle down Lake Shore Drive at speeds in excess of 100mph..............

No.. I cranked it up to 140 on a desolate straight stretch of Oklahoma 4 lane at about 6:30 am.. Completely shocked me how easy it went that fast and how quickly especially when I wasn't even at full throttle on it (only about 300miles on the car, so I was taking it easy).. I'm used to cars running out of breath around 120.. 140 at part throttle in 5th gear with half sweep of the tach to go and another gear to hit.... 170? easy... And it felt like it was going 80mph.. smooth and stable.. Haven't driven anything like it before
