top speed on a v6 will only read 120 mph. it sucks. i hit 120 at around 3200 rpms in 5th and let off at 5300 rpms.
I think your figures are off, because that would put you at 198mph
i know i was not going 200 mph. i was really concentrating on driving and not what the tach was doing. i was doing at least 150 and that was insane. i can't wait to make it faster.

I've only been up to 125mph but thats b/c I ran out of road...I have 3.73's and I'm pretty sure that I could hit 150 pretty easy w/ my gears

Yeah, I had mine at 140 the other day and it was unreal. I still had some to go. I was on flat with just a little downgrade to the road and I think with the push I had at 140 I probably could have broke 155. Scary though. The car feel so light at that speed and one mistake could send you head over heels!

I've had my LX up to 120, then i ran into traffic and had to backout, but it had more in it and was pulling very hard, I'd say with my 3.55's i might be able to hit 140.

That's damn fast on the street tho.

youre right MD. nobody knows what its like that fast until you are that fast. i had mine 140, and that made me uneasy. i got up there, then, i backed off. i was 130 on the back of my friends Ninja ZX-6R. that was an adrenaline rush !!!! i need a bike. lol
