A lil bit over 100 in the 250 I had... in the 350.... 85 lol backwards I kno.... on the bike fastest iver ever seen myself go is 120... after that I'm focused on what's ahead like pot holes, imperfections in the road, police on the side of the freeway . I'm sure I've been over 120 but couldn't look lol

I've had my IS350 up around 125, still getting used to this car. In my SC400 on the same stretch I've gone over 150 and it felt more stable and safer even. I have a commute of about 45 miles and a good portion of it is out on an open divided highway with little traffic so I get to open it up nearly every day.

i have only been 90 ish in my is250.... but i get my fix for speed on the weekends i go atleast 175 for a little stretch on the west park tollway here in houston when i go to basketball practice.
but lately i have calmed down with the speeding just because i like cruising. and my baby is getting shipped back to va beach in a week ... dont know what i am gonna do without her lol

and damn i didnt know a isf was faster then a m3 or benz i know we are electronically limited to 155 ... i thought the isf was 150 ish also not close to 170. that super impressive for a car you can get under 45 grand

So far in the 2 months I've had it 126ish, several times now. Almost beating my old record from my 94' ford escort (128..that was scary) I had when I was 17 lol.

Back in the day, my fastest was about 100 MPH in a Corolla that lasted until I flipped my car and it rollled over twice doing a 720 degree. It took forever to get to 100 MPH and the car blew 2 tires and I lost control. The car stopped rolling and ended on it's roof. I had to crawl out of the window to exit the car.

I was lucky I didn't kill anyone or get myself killed. It proves how safe Toyota's are!

Folks, let's not encourage speed on the street and save it for the tracks

Fastest in my IS250 was 84 MPH... but I don't go anymore above that. I'm afraid of tickets and police impounding my car. I got the speeding out of my system, so I'm happy with my IS250... it's still world's faster than my corolla and civic.

about ~100 and it was pretty stable, I get scared opening it up on highways since I don't want to get caught speeding and i dont have my laser jammers up (only radar).
