I can easily take highway off ramps going 50-60mph.

And going 120mph down the highway, the control was unreal. I've seriously never felt so in control of a car, even going 120. I wasn't just on a dead straight away too, I was flying around those long highway turns like it was nothing.

I know many will tell me how dangerous it is, and a lot wont even believe me, but that's not under my control.


For anyone who thinks I'm crazy, I will eventually try to record some video to prove my claims to anyone is doesn't trust the car's abilities or their own driving skills.

If you're comfortable with your driving skills, have some fun, and let your Koup SX show you what it can do. You'll appreciate it so much more once you do.
wow

Hit 125 today on the *ahem* "track". Lol was toying around with a late 2000s mustang gt. was suprised by how well it handled at that speed. Could have gone higher but cops are notorious around that area.

I've only taken the Forte ex 6AT to 105ish by mistake, wasn't paying attention the night I bought it haha.

But I got my 05 Eclipse to 161 MPH! Car didn't work much after that and I traded it in haha
