My speedo said 75 so maybe he was at that magic 11 mph over the limit. Anyone know of some dealers who are willing to deal? Most I've contacted in the past didn't seem to deviate much from MSRP if at all, which I found very surprising. Could be because I want a white coupe

EDIT: The coupe also had some aftermarket headlights, the ones with the line of LED's towards the top of the housing. Just searched his posts and the first one that came up was a headlight post and made me remember.
That was me and I had my cruise set like I always do at 73mph and it flashed so I'll be taking this up with the DPS... They're set to go off above 9 mph BTW, not 11....

Doesn't really matter what they're set at - you just admitted you were going 8 over, which they can ticket you for if they so desire. You'll probably be fine, though...only about 1 in 4 flashes actually ends up in the mail.

Maybe it was me then I always thought that it was 11 over that triggered those. Good to know at least. I received one in the mail that never was served to me in person and it was thrown out so no big deal I guess. Love your car though. Very clean and fast. What mods do you have right now? Going to Firebird/Speedway any time soon?

Yeah, I'm hoping that there are all the tables available in HPT that I will need to make it run smoothly. I don't want your car running like a turd or limping it's way home.

Hilarious Red SS/SC sighting (no wing/exhaust) near Dana park on Val vista road., Sitting waiting for the light, He pulls up 1 lane away from me concentrating of revving rather then noticing a skate boarder is crossing the street. The skateboarder sees the Balt coming and hops up on the hood....skateboard underneath. Skateboarder contemplates hitting the Balt with his skateboard, then awkwardness.

Saw the elusive Chris tonight while I was coming home from Target. I thought you sold your car! Haven't seen it outside your house in quite a while...

Also saw a silver SS on the 101 earlier this week...or maybe it was last week...don't remember. Was near Broadway exit - I was heading home from work. Didn't get a good enough look to see if it was turbo or super.
