120 or so for me.
It sounds so good around 80 I don't want to go faster.

Like tylus said, I'm not into top speed either. I did get at 101 passing 6 cars at once and felt like it had alot more if I needed it.

Whenever I'm on I-75 or on an open state road and there are no cars near me, I let her rip 105-110mph. But once I see there are cars starting to approach, I immediately start to reduce speed to 80. It's better to be safe than sorry.

fastest I got this one was pulling 3rd and 4th embarrassing a Porsche from 65 to about 130. Once I had like 7 cars on him I didn't feel I needed to go any further and push into 5th.

Did about 147 in my 98 once, where either it is speed limited (not sure) or it just didn't have any more muscle to keep going.

Usually, if it's a good stretch, I may accelerate to 100 or so, but I try to keep it about 70 when traffic's moving good. Can't afford tickets these days. I've got a CDL and don't wanna lose my job.
i think on that run i was 11.29
