i dunno about that, i had 160 on the speedo unless its that innaccurate?

Most speedos are inaccurate -- and become wildly optimistic at higher speeds (for our own good). If you track speedo readings vs. a good GPS, you'll see the error pretty easily. (My Honda Accord is off by 3 mph at 70 mph. I'm confident my CBR600RR is off by more than that.)

My 132 in a '76 Camaro (back in '78 when I was young and stupid) was confirmed by four units of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. How's THAT for authentication?

Bikes are notorious for inaccurate speedometers. My friends GSXR600 was off by almost 10mph at higher speeds.

Yes, at least two members on this board that I know of, myself included, have verified the 160 speed limit on the stock ECU. Probably others who aren't talking about it too. In my case I hit it on the dyno though, so I wasn't breaking any laws.

Edit: now someone says 155. 155 is also where my dyno charts dropped off, but the tech behind the wheel said 160, so I assumed that was just some data issue:

But then I had to pause my game because someone was at the door. (Forza 2)
Never really been too fast in real life. I haven't had any safe opportunities to really get up there. I think 120 in a G coupe was the fastest I've been :\

Doesn't happen too often, but I usually top out any of the car that I drive. Typically it's 155 limited. 120-130 isn't too much of a hassle, but unless you have heaps of power, you need a good amount of road to hit the limiter.

In a 545i, I hit 155 and was able to hold it for a good length of time. I was at about 140+ for a good 5 minutes.

220 in El NINO!! NFS III hot pursuit baby

370Z (AT)- Frequently hit 90+, so smooth at 100 you don't realize you're going fast until you approach other cars. Usually cruise at 75-80 and it's very quick to 90. I have my GPS set to alarm if I hit 90 and it's constantly reminding me. To date - 125 top speed. During hard acceleration it first shifted to 7th gear at 120. Very stable at 125 and felt like maybe 80-90 in my other cars..the neighbors got after me for speeding through the community...just kidding.

Yes, the 370 really is a dream to drive in the low 100s. It's extremely stable aerodynamically at speed, and the steering response is great. No problem dropping down from 7 to 5 (or even 4 if under 120) and getting great acceleration in that range too. Again, I just wish there was an 8 (or that 7 was taller) to keep the revs lower when cruising at speed.

Edit: ... on the high-speed closed track course I use regularly ;)

Most people here seem to drive quite fast.

155 in the GT-R on a track. it was actually scary because you could see where the next down hill turn was right infront of you.

How did it feel like driving that fast on the new Z? Was it pretty stable at that speed?
They let you test drive that car going that fast!!!:eekdance:

Well I want to hear hitting closer to 180 if possible.:tup:

How fast has anyone done on regular streets.
