I hit 110 mph, on a back road, pretty stupid, I was egged on by co workers callling me a grandma driver. Anyway, the IS300 has a speed limiter at 140mph, so if you want to go faster you have to get rid of the limiter.

From the CL gallery. Speed limiter on a stock IS300 is either 142 or 147.... can't remember. Notice the tach, top gear. This person was running ultra low profile tires, small wheel.

I hit 51 mph in my F once, never again... I was too shaken up. I usually cruise at about 20mph.
