137 as indicated by my Garmin Nuvi 350 @ Belt Parkway (Got on at 4^th ave and 65^th, heading towards the VerazannoBridge). Speedometer never goes over 110.

144 mph in my 91 Coupe 5 speed...that's 2 weeks after i first got my legend...Ever since then i haven't reached that speed...
and once i went 140 mph with a full car (5 ppl) ...
But it does get pretty damn scary at those high speeds...but loved every second of it

in my legend? 110 is the most i'll go on so cal highways. maaaybe squeek up to 115..

but when i had my rx7, and was a 19 year old asshole.. ahha, i was known for consistently going 150-160

Going over 110 mph with a Koni & Eibach suspension, for me, was one of the scariest things I’ve done. The car bounces too much when you go over uneven pavement. I get the feeling like I’m about to loose control. I never felt like that with the stock suspension.

Wow, 110 is scary with your "upgraded" suspension??

I drove 120mph with my stock suspension for amost 25 minutes and my girlfriend ( who hates going fast ) didn't even realize I was speeding until I slowed down to 87 mph and was pulled over and given a $290 speeding ticket ! ( lucky he didnt catch me doing 190 kph - 120 mph just minutes earlier)

For me the Koni/ Eibach upgrade just allows the car to take corners better . For high speed, straight driving I prefer the stock suspension.

Wow, so you not only risked your life, but the lifes of 4 other people? Man, Bravo on that one.

I cant believe this thread has gotten this far, so much blatent law breaking.

MountainLegend · 03-27-08, 06:24 PM

about 125, in my stock LS...for about a mile...
amazingly smoooth....and tight

did 115 for about 10 miles on the way back from Diaz's after getting my HG repaired...that was nothing but scheer exhuburishhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

you boys that are up at 140+....imprezzzzzzzzzzzzzive!

AND not to be corney, but please take the greatest of care when you get your flippin whips up over 90...speed aint no joke...and at the point you lose it, it is already to late...the prior post is right, it is what it is, and the sensation of rolling in your fine asss Leg at a full buck is sweet, but....no need to glorify this...
stay alive and enjoy your ride...

Sometimes in life you get the urge to try dangerous stuff. Some people tie a rope to their ass and jump of buildings or bridges. I run my car fast and hard every once and a while.

call me what you will, but ive been too scared to take the coupe into the triple digits. speeding tickets FTL.

filmshoot · 03-28-08, 12:04 AM

Last week I got it up to 135-140 (so says speedo) AND IT STILL WAS ACCELERATING!! I had room to go faster It was f*in smooth man........ I couldn't believe it, the nose didn't pull up on me, there wasn't any shaking, It felt like the tires were being pushed firmer into the pavement if anything........it felt better at this speed than it does at 45mph!!!

My 85 supra at that speed was a different story, the nose was already lifting up,and it felt scary...... but my STOCK 93 2dr typeII coupe felt amazingly well engineered at this speed. mind you, i just had 2 new tires installed, and 4wheel balancing.....but still what a pleasure I will do it again
