I've done 135 (GPS verified, but the speedo was only off by about 2 mph) about 3 times cruising down the highway to get to IHOP with some friends haha. There were 7 of us.

1. Me in the 00 GS3 doing 135.
2. Brandon in his 03 F-150 (topped out at 110)
3. Chris in his 01 Celica (stopped pushing it at 110 as well)
4. Matt in his 08 F-150 (topped out at 115)
5. Justin in his 00 Camry (stopped pushing it at 110)
6. David in his 05 Ranger (only did 80 because his tires were ****)
7. Mike in his 97 Grand Marquis (topped out at 125)

Obviously I beat them there and we got in a few races with other people.... Only because we were doing 40 on the highway, pretty much blocking anyone trying to get past us. Then a 99 Chrysler 300M pulled around us in the breakdown lane and I as soon as I saw him (he was right on my side) I gunned it and showed him who was boss. An Accord tried to pass me and got killed as well.

and to add, it was definitely the scariest thing I've ever done in my life. I was 17, almost 18, at the time. Young and dumb, but you live and learn.

135 is scary when you hold it for 10... Trying to dodge potholes and **** too.

Fastest I ever went on the GS was about 100-110 driving from NY to FL. Made it in just under 17 hours with 4 stops to fill up gas.

120 on the freeway cause a old school m3 wanted to race me.

and guess what?

the old school beat me. Homeboy had turbo and lots of mod vs. my stock gs4.
That guy was flying...

got to admit... That M3 stances was nice though. i think it was a 91 m3...

In the GS? I've had it up to a whopping 90, and I let off.

Don't need any more tickets.

In my younger dumber days, I got up to 165 in my turbo'ed Mustang with 3.55's.
