You live in 'Merica. By law you must own one apple product and one android product. Im 99% sure its your effed up wheels. Speed, track it on your speedo and ask the cop how close to 100mph you got clocked at. Repeat if necessary.

When I"m putting my 350z roaster in 6th gear i'm going 75-80 mph. If I put it in that gear going slower than that the rpms go below 2.500 I don't like riding it less than that. When I do have it in 6th it has plenty of go.
