I have gotten my legend up between 152 and 156mph on route 95 in S.C coming back to Ohio from Hilton Head. Cant be exact though, I was to busy looking at the road.

haha, me as well, it was the first day I got my car, and I wasn't sure of the status on the tires etc, and the fact that I had no knowlage of the condition of the car. It was still pulling very well, and I had 5 Heavy Guys in the car.

I did 115 along side of my homeboy's 2005 TL 6MT. Austin, TX, South I-35.
He switched lanes, and hit the gas.. I hit the gas, too. but he started pulling away.
At that time, I was like, forget it. Noway I'm catching him.
i over took a 97 model CL somewhere by JFK airport doing 110 in my 93L...that wasnt even the fastest i went...i think at the top end our cars come back...i think at the queens meet someone from harlem Legends spoke about a race he had with a late model TL that left him from start but he caught up and left him at the top end

where i am, we dont have much room to go fast.

but on average, ill cruise around 100. thats in the middle of the night, on my way home fomr the beach, or wherever. but at NALM, about 125, to catch up to everyone. i got stuck behind 2 semi trucks on the 2 lane part for some time. as for fastest in a legend, 140. dad was driving to bishop where g-pa lived.
my uncle used to race bikes, and he was heading out to vegas on one of the race bikes, he was getting up with a guy around 165, he would have kept going, but his front wheel was too small for the bike and started to wobble. so he backed off. the other guy kept going. he later met up with him and they shared stories.

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.

:boink: :yes: :yes:

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)
