Holy $hit SM. DIdn't know these cars had it in them. The fastest I have ever gone in a car (not the GXP) was about 170 - 173 mph. It felt like the car was floating so I let off the gas and let it slow down without using the brakes. This was when I lived in Fl.

i had it up to 140 once when it was stock but if ur going 140 on a highway or any non private road you might as well keep goin depending on conditions and if your on a strait road or not cause a cop cant catch you if hes sitting there or if hes goin the other way...but unfortunatly no one can outrun a radio so then you just gotta hide somewhere

had my GXP at 145 according to my Garmin. Nice long stretch of I65 South in IN on a road trip with 4 ppl and luggage in the car! Climbed from 85 to 145 pretty good i thought and felt pretty stable.

Fastest I've gone was 176 in a Viper GTS-ACR with 7 miles on it! My dad was the used car manager at a dodge store at the time and we went in on a sunday to get something and he let me take it out, what a rush! Had my Camaro over 150 a couple times. I would rather bag it up to 120ish and let off, top speed really isny my thing.

I can't imagine the Spec V being much of a race. My old highly modded Spec V was an absolute turd over 100mph.

I've hit 154mph bout three times and 157mph one night I was coming from the track. I ran past my friend on his modded hayabusa, he when I passed him he was running between 75 & 80mph and I believe running around 100 to 105mph but was all in and picking up speed pretty quick. He said he notice when I was bout 3 car lengths ahead of him and he kick and tried to catch me and couldn't. He say he got up to 189 and his bike started to feel kinda loose so he gave up, he also a said I was busy pulling away. I know I already had momentum built up but was still pretty impress when he told me about. I haven't tried it on the juice.

163ish in my last 1992 audi s4. only been able to get to 140's with the GXP. Takes too long up here at alltitude... 3rd Gear is good for 160-163.. and 4th is good for like 220.. I figured it out one time doing the math. On a close course

Officially, I never exceed the speed limit. My GPS, however, thinks I've gone 192 kmh.
