240kph. My speedo only goes's to 260kph and it'll do it if the roads are good enough.

Gotten mine up to 90 so far. Don't feel like pushing it any further just yet.... Also don't feel a need to. I love to drive calmly in this car. Its just soo smooth.

Plus, my valentine is in my s2k....

Default On the HWY, please fellas.

Do this on the highway only guys.

Ya know, I heard of peeps doin over 100 in a 35.
Thats not right.

Its not safe going that fast anywhere but a closed course.
Lets get that straight.

We don't want to promote wreckless driving now, do we?
120-cough! cough! Boollshoot. cough.



I didn' think so.

Right up to the limit...260kph

Actually though, it was in a Toyota Crown with a 1UZ.
It was on the main highway in my home country Trinidad.
The digital dash in the Crown helped too.

Only reason I felt safe doing it though is because that car had the full air suspension and TEMS and variable steering and what not. Otherwise I wouldnt risk my life like that.

I must say though, I was on the edge of wetting myself.

Hello,

I'm driving over 200km/h almost every week here in germany. The 92LS shows 275km/h at top speed on the speedo. The PDA GPS shows 252km/h top speed.
