well in my dx with the pooh 1.5 non-vtec havin *** motor i did 108 with a tail wind for a full mile and couldnt eek a single extra mph out of it. we'll see what happens with the new motor, i bought an ecu that eliminates the governor, so i'll be good for whatever 5th gear is capable of. cant wait.

i used to have a 1986 vw jetta automatic, i did 124. that was kinda scary cause the car felt like it was floating, the girl that was riding with me wanted me to go faster. i slowed it down.

I hit the rev limiter at 132 in 4th gear in my Altima on I-85, so what do you do, shift into 5th. Got it up to 147 before I backed off. I didn't need to go to jail that night, Gwinnett County was not going to get me. Needless to say, at 147 in a 4 door sedan made to top out at 100, the car was shaking uncontrollably, so the thrill of going 147 was taken away from me by the fear of blowing a tire and hitting the wall like I was in Nascar. Good thing is, my passenger had a chance to take pics.

Sorry about the second picture is blurry, like I said, the car was shaking.

i did 150 km/hr in my old 83 honda civic. And about 110 Km/hr in my 81 toyota 4x4 pickup. I haven't tried with my jeep grand cherokee yet. I just got new tires so i'll try it soon.

i drove 48 miles in 21 minutes once, mostly downhill in a ford taurus (which is the biggest POS car ever made, btw). the speedo pegged out at 85, but to accomplish that, i had to have hit 130 for most of the way. i passed a guy who claimed to be doing 125 when i passed him. this was in wyoming, btw.

i have had a full size econoline van to 110, and i did 58 on a 10-speed with a little assistance.

my civ has only hit 85 with me as the pilot, but i've only owned it for a month.
