135 + mph's with fully modified suspension, but i wouldn't do it again. Imagine the speeding ticket on that one, plus there's a possibillity of them impounding your car for driving that fast.

210 around that area is pretty straight so it's an alright area to go fast. I just went 120 on the 60 freeway east from LA to home in Hacienda Heights. 120 is that fastest I've gone so far. It doesn't seem like I can go any faster than that. I'm guessing that if I can, it'll probably be lagging it to go any faster.

Me too... well not anymore hahahaha

Anyway, fastest I've driven is 180km/h (113mph) when the speed cut hit in... damn speed cut... and yes it's quite scary at those speeds... I'll never go that fast ever again (well... for now ).

155+ needle almost pegged on dash speedometer on I95 @ 4:00am only traffic was myself and a turbo supra...no suspension mods,the car was built for this!- everything is a blur at that speed but,the car felt planted and i never felt uneasy at any time. The supra passed my car as if it were standing still..no contest. i can honestly say that i won't be doing it again tho' -130 is fast enuff

140 mph the other day actually, on I-95 pulling away from a 740 BMW. Car has suspension mods and traffic was light on a straight road and I wasn't there long. Not that that justifies anything. But the car felt very safe and I could have gone faster if needed. Damn 140 was fun. Although tickets at that speed wouldn't be cheap..LOL

BTW Damn PearlGS400..pegging the speedo at what looks like 160!
