100mph is a brese in the 250 awd. the fastest i have ever ben driveing in a car is 160mph in a twin turbo stealth bone stock with 150k miles on it. as all the cool kids know that is a 3000gt vr4 in sexey sheetmetal.

push those IS350's man. They are little rockets. The GS350 is no slouch, but its not going to accelerate as well with an extra 400 pounds on it

I have done 110+ in both my old 07 Civic Si and now with my 07 IS350.....lets just say the civic was a rev-happy buzzsaw, fun to drive, but the IS would have kept pulling and sure as hell got there a lot faster. IS FTW!!!

Ballsy! It sucks 'cause there is construction everywhere. +100 in a construction zone will be a killer ticket.


yea with lighter wheels and a drop the car goes faster, you hit higher speeds and feels stable as schit, esp w/ ur JICs, its gonna feel great, im jealous

do you need to be going downhill with a strong tailwind to hit 100mph in a 250

I've done 120 in va going 95S against an R32. He got me. But I had 3 passengers and the ride was very smooth. I've also done 0-100 many times at this light near my house against other speeders. Either they were scared to push 100 or my car is just blazing fast, they were always behind me but going same speed as me.

On a side note. I popped the ticket cherry Friday. 70 on a 45. And I wasn't even trying to speed! I was just passing a convoy of buses and they kept speeding up! So I speed up a little to get over to the right lane and smokey was there waiting for me. Next thing I know, I looked at the speedometer and ... sigh...
