145 for me racing a Z, I guess their 100+ is bad too, cause I got the jump and we held even from 40... He had at least aftermarket exhaust and a passenger. I just had my CAI and cutout open.

Also, I had my '87 FC up to 140, didn't think it would do it, lol.

And on another side note, my step-dad has had his G8 at 163, he said it had plenty more but cross winds were making the car a little squirrelly.

I maxed out the speedo (just beyond 140) and was smart enough (that's irony right there...no one is smart and doing 140 on public highways) to know that the traffic up ahead would be in my engine compartment very soon thereafter. I often hit 110 but don't need to go any faster.

I have only snuck past 100. The older i get, the more worried about getting pulled over i get. If it was 10 years ago, i would have had it maxed out within the first few hours of owning it.

145 mph or whatever the stock computer tune shuts you down at. Nice straight country road.

i was at the the 140 mark racing a new 335i. it was super late and his car still had the temp in the window but i beat it 2 out of 3. cars were pulling to the sides when they saw us coming. my car felt like it had more left but i too was worried about cops. even though i doubt its any easier to get away with doing 140 than it is getting out of doing 150 in a 55.

I've had mine up to 130 a couple of times and that was fast enough for me.

140 mph once or twice. Thats fast enough because if something ever stepped out or blew a tire it would be quite bad.

A little over 145. The car seemed to have more but didnt seem that stable. Ive been in 350 irocs and Formulas with the 145 and 140 speedometers buried and they seemed much more stable. I doubt I will do it again, just seeing what it had.
