120 MPH if you have a death wish. I've tried it before on my 08 and I can feel the stock DS oscillating...

being an idiot - not my finest moment and I paid for it. I just pushed it way too hard - I kept gaining speed and just got greedy wouldn't let off. believe me I was really bummed out at all the damage and thankful I didn't kill myself or anyone else in process.
