Mike,

Kind of depends on the conditions and what's out front. As the Captain, I tend to chase who ever is in front of me, (kind of a reflex reaction, like a dog with a rabbit), so Serenity has been known to get up around 20-25 mph on the flats, it just doesn't stay there long however!

Now going downhill, she really shines.

That clip is part of my home route. Not far after the end is what I call "dessert hill" because after the trek down and back from Plano and other parts, it's nice to get up to 35 mph or so. Do that area very often? Does that route include chipseal?
