Incredibly I haven't topped out my IS I hitted 130 once on my way to Disney World on the Turnpike...Now on my old srt4 was a different story it was limited to 155mph and I took it there a bunch of times and then got it diablo tuned and the needle would go all the way to 160 and felt like it was pulling did not have a gps to know the real top speed and in my new PWC Yamaha VXS I went 69 mph GPS last Saturday in the water lmao...

135 on I-84, mid-afternoon along any empty highway along the columbia river. beautiful day. The next week, some dude on a bike got clocked at 155 and when the cop finally caught him, he asked "do you know how fast you were going?"
He replied "Naw, I just opened it up to see what would happen." $400 ticket and he was on his way.

It does in the 250. I had my 250 to just over 125 and it didn't want to climb anymore...

Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Darren Campbell said a deputy stopped Busch’s 2012 yellow Lexus sports car on a road between Troutman and Mooresville, where the 26-year-old driver lives. It’s about 30 miles north of Charlotte.

Campbell said Busch was cited and released upon a written promise to appear in court.
I saw it parked in Mooresville......

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
ISF top speed is limited at 168 where the M3 is 155. Top Gear even made mention of it in an episode. With my mods, it sure does get to 168 a lot quicker now. I've been looking in to buying a GTR but it has that feature where it limits the car unless you get on a race track. Such BS!!!
