Please dont type in all capital letters... Here's some info that you wanted on rollovers NHTSA Test Data NHTSA Test Explanation Article on SUV Rollovers Basic Common Sense/Physics... Taller the vehicle, higher the speed, the more dangerous the vehicle in emergency maneuvers...

One way to save your life is never to let him drive your X again :rolleyes: and the second is to never be around him. If he needs cold hard facts to be considerate of your life, he needs something more than just facts slapping him in the face

The only person I was being condescending toward was your boyfriend... tell him to drive his own car if he wants to go that fast endangering your Xterra, the traffic around you, and your own safety... Have a nice day and I hope everything works out...

I would be surprised if theres a Texan in this club who has not hit their speed limiter, just think of those long stretches of I10 when youve been on your way to el paso for hours...and you're not even half way there yet. And back when I45 was 75, the average speed of traffic was 85-90 around houston.

My 00 X did NOT have a governer in it i did go 100 mph
but DINYANNA got 01 X there is a govener in it , and the shaking you feel is a govener kicking in, and slowing you from 95 to about 93 mph there is nothing wrong with that shaking

yo dayspring right back at ya, before I can be insulted I need to know what troll means. but again I don’t spend time sucking on an exhaust pipe or (nailing Jell-O to a tree) so I guess I am not up to date on the car lingo. As for the mph’s I am going by what I saw on the speedometer. Not your expertise. As for the difference I still don’t see it between 96 and 100 both to fast for me. As for the rednecks in Texas, need I say more?

DINYANNA : i think you are full of shit !
you come to a board , and start calling people you dont know bad names ? wtf is wrong with you ?!
CAPS = SCREAMING ! turn them off !
go to lurk status, and lurk around
if you feel 90-100 is not safe in X , thats your oppinion ONLY ! is there a difference between 90 and 100 in 01X ? yes!, you can not do 100 ( because of the govener)
if your BF feels safe at that speed, suck it up, or dump him, and find a slower BF
--------------------------- Yes, i am having a bad day !

Oh sorry Brooklyn didn’t know you owned the site, grow up! I was looking for statistics, not attitude, that is if you can read English because I didn’t under stand a word of what you just said. CAPS = SCREAMING ! turn them off ! go to lurk status, and lurk around???? And I don’t care what any of you think about the speed (like it makes a difference) I was there and saw with my own two eyes. I will not let any body bully me into believing something different. But I am sure you’ve topped out speeds of { 94.8903642087 } or whatever your max is in the streets of brklyn considering all the straight highways there.
