No I haven't Alex, but I am sure the white blinkers give me about 50hp to the rear wheels

hey RICHIE, you said you'd like to firm up the suspension, and i KNOW you've already
done so much to it (lol!!), i was just wondering if anyone knew if the the US suspension
is any diff from the Euro version?
my bro in-law just returned from Germany and he said the autobahn's lanes were
wider and definitely more smooth than the US roads so i can just imagine what my
car would do on a clear stretch of even pavement.
-d.
LOL, yeah, I am a regular modahollic here!!
When I was in LA last time I only had people pick me up in modded GS's, LOL.
In most cases the cars for the US market are slightly softer then the euro versions but for the GS I have no clue if that is also the case.

Great! ... I bet 2 new style taillights will definitely make your GS a M killer

Hahahahaah, that has to be worth at least 200.
But before I get power crazy I first have to tighten up the suspension.

well done richie...... its fast 240..., but it could have been that you were slightly downhill, I know them well too those highways, and sometimes you think driving on a flat road, but its an impression....standard topspeed should be aprox 230/235 km/h..... but you did it dude, proof 's on the odo !! nice one !!
next time we gonna sport together over there.

Jacko, the road was as flat as a really flat thing. I'm sure there is some percentage error in the speedo reading. I still had some speed left and I was in overdrive, not locked in 4th.

Cool, next time we will do a little race.......for pinkslips, OK??
