Whatever the speed limiter is. I did it today. It probably took 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile. I was at 5200rpm+-100 or so. M6 3.42's. Still pulling very hard. It was actually just starting to pull good since I shifted to 5th. I don't see why it wouldn't go all the way to redline in 5th.

150 on the money. When I let off the belt flew off the tensioner, no power steering, the check gauges light came on, I thought I blew it up. By some miracle the belt stayed in the engine bay so me and my buddy muscled it back on there with no tools. That was a fun night.

146 on the Garmin today, didn't look at the speedo. Buried it once but not sure how accurate these are at that speed. Was still pullin like a **** too, had to let off well in advance for a car ahead on the highway.

Nice man. If my experience from bikes carries over, anything over 150 kind of all feels the same. Yeah, you can feel it still accelerating, but by looking out you couldn't tell.

I was amazed at how good the car felt at 150+. It didn't want to drift at all really. I could feel the breeze coming from around my window and door lock switch though. Anywhere air can go at that speed it is coming in. It was like having a small fan sitting on the door handle pointed at my face. It's time to seal that up.

I'm not a speed freak, more of a power guy.
My 0-60 thrills me ten times more than 60-120.
Now these guys trapping like 180+ that's a whole different experience I'm yet to accomplish.
I don't think I have done over 120 in my car.
I don't ever go above 100 with someone else in my car.

going fast is fun but i see nothing but trouble anywhere past 100. personally i enjoy the 0-100 much better than 60-150. Cops around here are not like they were back home. They ticket you for everything they can possibly find wrong.
