Wow, that's really odd.  It almost sounds dangerous.  I myself drove
cross country this past december and hit spped probably between 100 -
115 miles per hour on some of the long stretches (in my 1987 Buick Park
Avenue) and never had the engine cut out.  Something like that at that
speed would probably make me turn white with fear.  Did you call GM
about this
