I'm thinking about trying to squeeze a few extra horsepower from the motor, maybe with a slightly hotter cam and larger diameter exhaust (no fart can, though, it's a Chrysler  ;D).  Seventy-seven mph in the quarter-mile just ain't good enough.

Just spray it....Don't even bother with cams or anything else...With cams and exhaust, you'll trap at 77.4MPH...Hardly worth it..

To go faster.  Reduce weight on the car.  Strip out as much as possible.  Some Hercules tires at correct pressure to make the car lighter.

Sebring @ 90k (was Re: 80,000)
« Reply #36 on: April 29, 2010, 03:16:42 pm »
My 2002 Sebring LX sedan hit the 90,000 km (55,923 mi) mark this past weekend.  The car remains trouble-free, maintenance only, with no accidents.
 
The car was sold Nov. 30, 2001 and I purchased it Nov. 23, 2006. 
 
Average kilometres per year: 10,711 (6,655 mi)
