Limited to 155 but we will see when it's tuned 170?

145mph in my GT, that's all the speedo shows. I think there is more left in the car but there was no room on the highway, I passed cars like they were standing still. 134mph or so when I had my SVT focus. 135 when I had my RSX Type S. Oh and 98mph when I had my ranger since it was limited to that.

same for me, at that speed the factory hood scoop makes the hood vibrate so bad it scares me so I get out of it.

Now on my previous Trans Am....the speedo would read up to 155 when it hit the stopper, but my RPM still climbed so I know it was faster than 160.

I cruise at 130 on the autostrada when theres no one around. I've had it to 140 though. Can't wait for the supercharger after deployment.

This is selfish and immature behavior (140mph) that should not be (it was awesome) encouraged, shame (wooo gonna do it again) on you guys.

Had to go to work early on a Saturday. Car was covered with pollen. After a quick run to 130, almost all of the pollen was gone

Car was still pulling hard. Had to back off due to traffic. I normally don't do this sort of thing but had a weak moment.

You guys make me feel like such a weenie. I ran mine to 105 to check out the new tires, wheels, and swaybars. The ride was smooth and controlled, like I could have run that way all day. I chickened out after a couple of minutes because I got worried about troopers.

Holy Crap! I hope you had a buddy in the shotgun seat taking that photo for you. I hate to think you were fumbling around with a cell phone at that speed.

ha ha, that was funny

I've only had my car up to 145mph since getting the blower, it was definitely still pulling honestly with the stock suspension it's a little floaty, don't want to push my luck until I upgrade some things.

honestly the fastest I've driven a car was 160mph in my buddy's modded Jetta, ha ha. then my streetbike I hit 150mph with the flick of the wrist, THAT's an adrenaline rush
