Don't do 100+ mph. This might happen:

Amateurs don't use nitrous oxide. I've seen the way you drive. You've got a heavy foot. You'll blow yourself to pieces.

Oh and not upgrades or whatever. The only thing ive changed is the shift knob, lol.

It has 102,xxx miles on it

Just make sure the flux capacitor is off before you hit 88

they actually limited it to 105 if you came with factory hubcaps so they didn't fly off and hit bambi in the face.Factory alloy wheels where 115 I think
