Default How fast have you been in your R?

With no wing, on a deserted road that was slightly downhill, I got the speedometer needle to the the "Y" in unleaded fuel only. Don't know how accurate the speedo is up that high, but it looked like about 154 or so.

Before you get flamed... I'll be moderate.

You want a cookie?

Sorry, but some members will raise a red flag... 'cuz they hate high speed runs on public roads.

Once when the windows were opened, I hopped in a la Dukes of Hazard. Took maybe 1-2s.

I know it's not the smartest thing to do. But the road I was on was pretty safe, and I just got that itching to see what the car would do.

took it to 140mph racing a new E46 M3 on 280. I could have gone a lot faster, but anything more then that it like a top speed contest, which I will not participate in. I actually I just took off and next thing I know I was at 140mph! Thats the all time fastest so far for my car.

If I get flamed, so what! What are they gonna do, cyber-*** kick me! lol

125mph on the racetrack. I've hit it so many times by now, that it seems like nothing. I wish I could feel what 150 would be like.

Indicated 140mph. Didn't check the tach, was more worried about looking forward. And I didn't even feel like I was going "that fast" until I started slowing down. Took a bit

Indicated 150-155, 2AM floating bridge between seattle and mercer island, drafting a modded 5.0.
Ah yes, the good ole' I-90. Just be careful with the cops hiding out on the other side of the tunnel.

Flame me if you must. Apex'i GSR and I have hit 150 too many times to count (when I had m R).

I have since made a conscience effort to be safer on the street so the fastest I've gone in my hybrid has been 140. I think I could it to 150 no problem but it pulls so much harder and faster then my R did so it scares the **** out of me.

about 130-140 with 4 other ppl in the car, and it still felt like it was getting light in the rear.
