Default Top speeds...

I just went on the most "fatal stretch" of I-95 (according to media) and topped out @ 140mph but I'm pretty sure I could've hit 150. What's the highest mph any of you guys ran?

100...
Got there quicky, but seemed to hit a wall.

Funny, my last car, my Hyundai Stellar sedan (Euro version of the Excel) with 61 RWHP could do 100 aswell.

Good Luck Todd who will be at higher speeds in the Gumball.

138mph, 5th gear rev limiter on a 4th gen tranny... That is a calculated speed, speedo was past 140... Guys, when you hit that speed, your speedo is off by about 7-10 mph, it reads faster than what your doing..

about 145 in a 5th gen tranny...

Hey! My one does more then 230! ... kmh. I can't see how much he does, the speedo is at the end. But he goes into the rev limiter. I tell you more when the apexi Rev/speed meter is build in and my car is on the road again. I think in May *g*

200 mph in my M5...........
that's for you Corey

going 140 is easy, but can you do it with 40 other cars on your ***, beside you, or in front of you into braking zones that take you from 140 to about 60 mph in 75 feet for 20 laps?
that takes driving ability

Does anybody have a pic of a 5gen doing near redline in 5th gear?
thanks.

Track tested numbers for the H22A (ie. measured by something more accurate than the spedometer, and run in both directions) is about 140mph. But ive seen as low as 137 and as high as 143. Obviously you might be albe to do more if you are on a sligh downhill or something, but topping out on freeways isnt the smartest thing to do.

I have hit the rev limiter in 5th gear, so if Corey is right that is 138. I was on a highway racing a mustang, no other traffic around

138 with three people. 140 (or so the speedo said)alone. Is it safe to assume my controller in Km would be more accurate?

What the **** man! It just sickens me that you would do that type of speed with other people in the car.. Next headlines "3 people die in dumbass's top speed run"
