I don't do anything above 100 mph. You can lose your license and have your car impounded in California. I'm just not ready to have that happen, especially to my IS...

There is a new law here in Oregon that is essentially the same thing. That said, IMO there is nothing wrong with doing a little speeding on a desoloate stretch of highway without homes, people or other vehicles.

I had my 250 to 120 mph on the trip home from the dealer the day I bought it.

On this past Friday I hit 115 on my way to work, but I was just goofing off with a police friend of mine in his police SUV. There was no other traffic around on a split 4-lane rural highway .It was cool, doing 115 in a 55, getting chased by a police vehicle, and not getting a ticket.

125mph in my IS350 on the Garden State Pkwy in Jersey at 4 am in the morning for only about a half a mile. It's amazing how fast I got there and it felt like 85mph. In my infiniti at 125 I was holding on for dear life. Not much into speeding or beating on the car though..I like my IS, last thing I want to do is wreck it.

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.

Cool

I'm holding back at this point. Only hit 500 miles on it today and trying not to do too much too soon. The highest I went today on the interstate was 84. I'm looking forward to seeing the red ring though. Soon.

I have a bad record of point on my license for speeding in my 03 CL...vtec with an aem intake sounded increddddible but to enjoy it I had to be above about 4k which entailed high speeds. The IS350 is just sooo much fun but I drive it very moderately for day to day driving. I got up to 140 before I let off on my way to philly racing an IS300. It wasn't racing..we were just messing around.

I have my warning light set for 70 as well.

Any of you planning on taking your car to the track or autocross event?

Had it to about 125 the morning after I got it proving a turbo'd Civic I was faster ... Had it maxed out at 142 several times, but I'll go over 100 every day going to and from work on the interstate. What can I say, I like speed... I miss my motorcycle ('04 Suxuki GSXR 1000)

134-135. Is it just me or does it get hard after 130?
