I nailed 120ish a couple times... some with the top down I loved that hiss of the air but yeah I don't really like to top out much, I'm all for acceleration.

+1, I'm the same way. My car gets up to high speed so frighteningly fast that just the acceleration is enough to get my heart banging. I'm a big fan of 0/20mph to 80mph romps.

I think I've only gotten my STi up to maybe 110, but I got my old stage 4 WRX up to about 130 for a short period on an open interstate. Both vehicles have or have had their limiters removed, so it would be really interesting to see what each tops out at. Maybe sometime if I go to the track =P

I only have to go 88mph to win. Thats when the flux capacitor hits vtak and I just send myself forward through time to the finish line.

I've touched 130 once and that was enough for me. I've gone 140 in a built 65 chevelle with a 180 shot, but I wasn't driving.
