It goes up to about 150 on the speedometer, but that would be about 142 if measured accuratly. So the max speed they state is about right. (Someone even told me that that was electronically limited, but not sure if that is just a rumor, compared to other cars I owned that is quite a slow top speed for the size of engine and horsepower). But still one of my alltime favourites

Yes, it's electronically limited to 142. In addition to the places I mentioned in my previous post (brochure, owners manual, service manual, press kit), it's also on the Lexus website here: http://www.lexus.com/models/IS/detai...fications.html
The never stated that on any of the european websites or in brochures etc.
So that could become a project for this summer.... getting it removed

Actually in metropolitan atlanta or the city of atlanta. We have a no chase law. Which states if you go above 120 the police cannot persue. My friend actually tempted this in his mustang gt. But I usually dont go above 90 I have my speed warningindicator set to 70. Atlanta Police are crazy.

I maxed out my IS350 at 149mph. Mind you it was 2am and on the highway so noone was on it for the most part and i was playing around with my 2 buddies who got a Charger SRT-8 and a Mazdaspeed 6.
