I took it up to about 130, then shut it down, waved at him, and pulled off. Why did my GT pull harder at 115???!?!? I mean, Im not complaining, but it really felt like my stang was lacking at normal freeway speeds, but kicking *** as **** got crazier? So what's up?

Hate to burst your bubble, but it wasn't your stang....the 1.8T in stock form runs out of steam above 5000 rpms.
