3rd --> 4rth what happened?

ok today i was driving home and i saw no one on the road... so i decided "lets open this car up..."

well so i stepped on the gas and just kept on going...

well im trying to monitor my speed and the road at the same time... and after a while i notice its just chilling at the redline going about 120 or so... so its in third... i figured i wasnt in overdrive, so i slipped it forward and it went to idle... why wouldnt it go any faster?

i know ive had mine going 135 before... why wouldnt it shift?

i'm pretty sure at 120 you shouldn't be anywhere near the end of 3rd..

Dude my car didn't shift til around 135 or so. Then I was crappin my pants. It was reving almost at redline going 130 and I was like "sheeit, this thing can't do 160 like Motor Trend said it could". Just then it shifted. WOOOHOOOO. Next time let it go and it'll shift.
