lately 120 doesnt seem fast anymore, achieved this in a 2.7 Charger and felt like 70 or 80 so i guess driving a Veyron, Viper cars, and Corvette Z06s would be a way to experience fast or speed

my type I only went to about 110 according to the speedometer. I couldn't push it more than that for some reason. I had a passenger and my sound system, so it was pretty weighted down. I will never do that again though.

Very well put!

I have done 240 by myself once when I first got the car. Stupid move for sure considering I didn't know the mechanical history, nor the tire ratings (one of which I found out was giving out in the rear). I will never do that again in the Legend.

In my Legends I have yet to go past 110mph (I really do not like pushing my Legends that much because they are just too nice and I want to keep them running).

However, in my 98 Accord V6 Coupe I had the speedo bouncing off the 160mph mark heading down to Phoenix (though it was a slightly downhill grade at the time). I still could have gone faster but the tires REALLY started to howl, they were HR rated and really started to show it around 155mph. That car has a HUGE 4th gear. In 3rd the tach and speedo run 1:1 (position wise), it is possible to run close to 121mph just in that gear.

I have to give credit to the J series engines. I owned that car since it had 45k miles on it and drove it REALLY hard, got rid of it at 122k and it was just as quick and reliable as ever; had sort of a cheap feel to the interior but well styled.

I just got my legend so i havent tested it out yet. I don't think it need to b/c i already have an indication of what it can do by reating this thread.
P.S. A little bit of extra info..... A little birdy told me G2 CR-V's have a speed limiter at 110. Just thought you should know.

So what ... my guess is your pit crew rebuilt your motor overnight, right ?
