If you aren't paying attention you can easily hit 90mph (at 30% throttle)going down an on-ramp.

In an LT1 or a GXP? I know in my LT1, I use 6th as much as possible to save on gas...believe me, I know all too well about looking down and loafing along way faster than I thought I was

In the GXP. Now that I come to think of it, the GXP feels like it has a strong LT1 in it.
