How far have you pushed your IS F???
We've seen some fun times as far as 0-60 or 1/4 mile times....but who's pushed their cars at the top end???
Anybody hit the governor (170mph) yet?
Anybody had the governor removed??? Rumors are that they'll do 190ish without it! Any truth?
I reached 260-265 km/h so was within 10 km/h of it topping out
I'll mention that it was done safely in a controlled environment

No pushing it for me.. still breaking in
The most I've gone is 3/4 throttle and it was hauling already. I can only imagine what it'd be like WOT with TC off...for now.

while he was driving it we hit 150 on the FL Turnpike its fun knowing your going that fast when it feels like you're safely going only 80 or so...

I haven't gone above 145 
Really want to take it to a track to see what it can do
For some reason a majority of the roads in Texas are slick pavement and when I punch it off the line I can't gain traction...I merged into traffic today and went sidewides with the traction control off....man I gotta be careful
Fun car no matter how fast your pushing it though I love the F

The other night I hooked up with an SL63 AMG. Probably one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen, no joke. We were cruising on some country roads late at night. Road opened up, we both nailed it... we were doin 155 in no time, but it felt like nothing.
That's about as far as I have pushed it.

As soon as I am eligible for traffic school again I will take a chance, the thing is, at 150 MPH, I may get eligible for jail directly...
It is very unlikely, though, that the car can hit 180 or higher without the limiter.

Perhaps you could have passed him, I think all MBZ but SLR are limited to 155?
