    Top speed - highway

    So contact your congressman and work to get MVs banned from the highways. Show them your proof here. Because 99.9% of the MVs on the road cannot do a 75mph speed limit. Period. End of discussion from me. ps: just don't contact MY congressman :)

    Top speed - highway

    You can throw strawman out there all day if you want but the points remain: 1) we disagree 2) most (the VAST majority of) LMTV owners don't have (and will never have) highspeed gears 3) most LMTV owners are going to be on the highway at some point 4) and saying "just stay off the road" isn't...

    Top speed - highway

    So by your logic, all LMTVs (beyond the teeny-tiny fraction that have added $8000 worth of "high speed gears" ) are dangerous and should be banned or removed from our highways for the sake of safety? Because they can't do 75mph? I strongly disagree but I'm sure there is no shortage of people...

    That sucks, but I don't see the applied relevance here. How much faster would you have safely been towing that rig? I mean if you were doing 70mph and they had slammed into the back of you at over 100mph it would have ended the same. I doubt the speed limit was 100-105 so.... I get that it's...

    Top speed - highway

    I can't maintain 8mpg with my C7 's pedal mashed to the floor. I get 5mpg all day long in "stand on the throttle" mode. My A0 was a bit more consistent at 8mpg. Slow, fast, it didn't cane....8mpg. Of course I haven't done any tuning to see if it can be improved the C7 but some of the...
