I've had it several times at 140 or above. I can't believe how smooth my car is, althouth it sounds like the t-tops are going to be sucked out. And that's with 150,xxx miles on it and mild bolt-ons. These cars are amazing!!!

well I have driven my mazda 626/ 4-door on 17" rims up to 130mph on the 60 frwy on thanksgiving night around 8pm, i had to use the emergency lane to pass the toyta 4-runner that cut me off, but over all a buddie and i took his 97 t/a drop top and made it tuch the volt meter needle, so i would say 175mph. that was also on the 60 frwy/west bound at 1 am, (with a 6er or so in each of us) , man that was fun.

In my talon pegged at 145mph(thats what my speedo goes 2) racing my freinds LS1 side by side, he is FULL boltons and I was at 18psi..


He went off his speedo at 155mph so yeah, not to sure but over 150mph. He didnt pull on me and I thougth LS1s were topend beasts!

It was a good fun race that night, to bad I wasnt running more boost

Holy **** that GS-R picked up slow. I mean nothing negative about it, I just thought they were faster than that top end. Speaking of which, a GS-R is a bad *** daily driver, I hate you... my daily driver is a 4cyl 87 notch back mustang.
