Default Got the LX to 130mph - with picture!

this is from a few months ago on my 2010 LX570 on I-15 north of Vegas. It felt like I was going 30mph...I love this truck.

IB4TL...

Looks like fun, but on a public roadway...well...its completely illegal, and if you had gotten caught...you would have been paying for it for a LONG time.

Aside from that, pretty cool. I dont have the ***** to go that fast in an SUV.

I wouldn't advertise it as on a public road. Just say on a test track to cover your butt.

Thats ridiculous, i went 95 in our lx470 on the qew in canada and felt like while i could have gone faster, 95 was a solid speed. Hell, 135 in e320 i was driving felt ridiculous idk how you do it in an lx570

Thumbs down

.. I think it's stupid!!!

Think of other people and/or families on the highway that could have had their lives negatively changed, if not taken away, by the possibility of accidental loss of control at those speeds with that monstrous machine. Obviously you too put yourself at risk, and though not wished upon you, if you were to lose control and get hurt, well at least it's safe to say you went out looking for it; but other innocent highway travelers... that's pretty messed up.

*Moderators should erase this thread since it has absolutely NO positive information to be gained from it, and illustrates a fellow club member with no sense of respect for public safety. Gives a possible bad image to visitors with regards to CL and it's members possibly condoning disrespect for public safety and laws.

Haven't gotten mine quite up to there, but it's nice to know she'll handle it. Borrowed an earlier LX model when visiting friends a couple weeks ago and she felt shaky at 75, things have come a long way since then!
