I've done 120mph, I'm sure I could have gone faster but any faster would have been unsafe.

Fasest I've gotten the IS350 F-Sport is 240KM and that was on the demo model that i test drove. Salesman told me to hit the gas hard, and i did.

I did 140mph on my '08 IS250 AWD, I-95 was empty at 3 in the morning so I took that opportunity. Took me a bit to get up there. Now on my IS350 F-Sport, I had to overtake a Jeep that kept speeding up when I tried to pass it (on the left of course) so I let him have it. 75 to 110mph in a matter of seconds. I didn't realize how fast I was going until I noticed the red flashing from my dash.

To add on to my last comment, as a FF/EMT. I recommend that nobody go that fast on a public highway. Remember the accident doesn't necessarily have to be your fault to kill you.

But did you die?




JK. I've put my red flash to not exceeed 85 mph. Conservative but after going max speed on a 3IS, I'd probably never do it again.
