I've only gotten up to 135 mph. I was racing a couple of friends, one with a b16a in his integra and another in a 2001 alero. At around 135 I was next to the teg and tapping my brakes so that I would stay next to him. just playing around yeah... i wimped out... next time though!

I'm glad to say that they were sufficiently whomped on

I've hit the 150 on my sc4, it does seems to go fast than that. Now i'm not sure how accurate I can trust my speedometer

Yeah, I hit the limiter.. that's one thing that the new ECU should take care of. Maybe I'll do a top speed test when I get the new ECU, tires and wheels... there's a great freeway in south San Francisco called I-280 that reminds me of the autobahn. But, I may have to do it on I-5 on the flat, for enough running room.

it wasnt my lex but i rented a 348 spyder once and got up to 160 while i was racing a corrada.
i was too scared to look at the speedo so my girlfreind looked, i was like damn.
but in my lex the most ive done is 135 so far, that should change pretty soon!

Ive taken my SC3 130 a few times, but the catch is that the Speed limit on the road is 40 or 45 MPH.:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: It is on HIghway 100 near Belle Meade for all u Nashvillians out there (bout 1 or 2 i think) The fastest i have ever gone on the interstate is 100. I could go faster on the interstate, but i dont drive it much and dont know where the cops sit (eventhough i have a Passport 8500) . Dont worry bout the 130 in a 40 (or 45) zone b/c i know the road like the back of my hand, and it is very straight (at least the part i was on) and it is 2 lanes each way.
