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...

7300 RPM in D4.

Stock suspension, weight 3230 lbs, 235/45/17 Proxes, Bayou S2, CAI/Full Exhaust, Ported E.M, D/S Brembo's, Ceramic Pads, GW, TBB, EGR, VS.

Not really sure how fast that is since the needle was burried, but it's damn sure over 160.

The hood was shaking so violently, I was sure how long it would hold on.
And oh yeah, it was not fun at all over 150 MPH. This was in 05 with the fuzz on my trail.

137mph according to speedo before I did the engine swap in 06. It was still pulling, and felt very tight and controlled, that was the eery part. I thought it would be like other cars and start shaking and stuff and that I would max it out to see what it could do, thinking it would max at 130 or something. But it didn't and it showed no signs of stopping so I eased up because I realised the cars balls were bigger than mine at that point.

fastest i ever hit was 130

mods include Injen Short Ram Intake and exhaust

it was fun because i was leaving a legend meet and another member was in his legend...so we both just went for it and ended up doin 130...BOY that was fun, i don't mind doin it again anytime


but i constantly do hit 115-120ish on saturday mornings on 95 south

hmm. its probably best not to name roads in this thread. id much rather just assume everyone here visits the track regularly....

Many years ago, after I restored it, I had my 911 Targa up to 142. Scared the bejeezus outta me.

Later, I got my Coupe once-and I mean ONCE-up to 138. For 7 whole seconds. Had to change my drawers.

Can you imagine hitting the smallest piece of whatnot in the road at that kind of speed? Instant sammich.

That's why I got all that out my system years ago.
