| cops and 120MPH
So I've had the 323 for a few months, and I'm returning home to NY from western pennsylvania. Bought new tires/rims about a month ago, so they are broken in. yay, *me thinking* Hmmm, i should drive 120 on this 3 lane uphill stretch. */me thinking* The car actually surprised me achieving 120 in 5th gear quite quickly. Man was my intake screaming as I got a pretty constant 8MPG according to the gauge. Now on the downhill side (of the hill as well as the story) - I spot a cop once halfway down the mountain (not sure of my speed here but it was no less than what I had been traveling at the summit). Now, I DID NOT want to use the brakes above 100 for fear of warping the rotors, but quickly calculated the monetary difference of replacing 4 rotors (with performance ones, mind you) and paying a ticket for 120 in a 55 (big $$ in NY state). OEM brakes work moderatley well at this speed. I almost passed the Sherrif however I was never stopped so I will consider it lucky.
My brakes are good, but I did check the pads and they are nearly to the sensors. Inspection II is 1 green bar away.
