I hit 153mph without the governor kicking in (before my tune). No way to tell how much faster I could have gone. That was too dangerous as it was.

That's what I was thinking, turbo or not. Maybe 175-180 with forced induction, with a lot of room.

i was racing a neon srt4 and i topped out at 140. I had it to the floor for a good 10 seconds at 140 it wouldnt go any further, but she still had plenty more. It was 2am in the morning on I75 on my way back from downtown Detroit not one other car on the road.

got up to 184mph on my GSXR.....i know i know it was dangerous but, i was racing a viper loll.

I may or may not have hit 150 on a wide open area with little to no traffic, just happened to be a 335i behind me, possibly.
