Yeah, but that's an Eclipse.  I kinda explained this in another message,
but when I'm not loaded down, I'm at vacuum while cruising at 65 as well.
Add the roof rack and put stuff in it and it makes my aerodynamic brick 
seem more like an aerodynamic barn door.  Throw a few hundred pounds in
back and I'm rapidly approaching 5000 lbs and barn (not just barn door)
status.

Also, at 5 lbs of boost, my little engine is still only putting out
probably about 155 hp at the flywheel (120 stock).  Plus, I'm sure I
have a *bit* more in drive train losses than an Eclipse does.  Pushing
a 5000 lb barn door at 65 mph takes considerably more hp than does a
slippery little sports car.


> thing, I had to let off at 135, due to lack of cahones n all...  Teh

:)  I think about 85 is the highest I'll ever try and see in my truck.
