hello,

this summer gps said i did 273km/h in my calculation this is about 170mph.
with summer wheels 19" i guess there would have been 5 km/h more possible or probably 10 km/h with smaller wheels.
handling was pretty well

just letting the lady spread her legs and stay in shape, for a few minutes. at night when the streets are empty, no reason to risk jail

besides after 200 my car is just too slow, would take a while to reach 240 not entirely sure the car would make it above that....

I find it handling quite good, and gets more sticky to the road...and that's with RF tires (like big achievement). I wonder how you actually feel?!

PS: It seems like alot of people should be banned from the forum

. Especially those who voted under 140.

Ok maybe they are still in brake-in

You try doing more than 140 in South East UK, then you tell me (once you get out of jail, or the hospital)...

Geez, you guys drive pretty fast. I think I've maybe been up to 90 mph. This is a sedan afterall, not a sports car. I've had my Yamaha R6 (sportbike) up to an indicated 163 and my Honda s2000 up to an indicated 135 or so.

Hit limiter, but not by me! brian1225 drove my car back from downtown San Diego on an early Sunday morning. Open stretch of I-5 north. Gave him the go ahead. As for myself, I'm not that far off from the limiter.
