This thread is not for the faint of heart haha. On my way home from work I had an empty highway and I really haven't pushed my car all that much since I got it. Open highway + Sport + mode and I had some fun. Got up to 126mph. How fast have you guys gone? 2014 IS 350 F-Sport Ultra White/Rioja Red

The top speed i have hit is around 138 on a private road. The car seemed to hit the speed limiter in no time. I wonder what the top speed is with the limiter removed?

That's a good question. Maybe 150s 160s? How could you get the limiter removed? Ecu flash?

Still breaking in as well ...though I did floor it one Friday night for some fun and hit redline in all gears to 4th. Despite the high elevation (over mile high) she did good. Only hit to high 90s so far.

Mid 90's... don't tell the wife... hahahah... it's her car...

On the other hand, she has it high 80's... without realizing it she says... her last car was a 2001 Honda Civic, bone stock, so this power is still new to her...

Where did you do that? That's a licence-threatening speed here.

IKR, 407 is kinda different though. I barely encounter any police when I drive on 407.

The highest speed I've noticed was 95, but I thought I was only doing like 75.
