Ok on a race track or an airfield what is your top speed.

During my last trip to Mexico I got it up to 145ish before I got a little nervous and shut it down. Would love to see what it would do on an airstrip

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Question for you, how come passenger airliners can't go above 600+ mph??

av8or

couple of answers.. fms restriction, altitude restriction, engine downrated, design of wings. gate restrictions.etc.. but the most basic without hijacking this thread is fuel economy.. more speed = increases drag.. more drag = more fuel burn.. more fuel burn = higher operating cost.. higher operating cost = goodbye to $59 southwest fares..

I hit above 275kph a few times. 170+ freedom units.

Thanks for the reply All that makes sense now thinking about it. Now back to this thread, sorry for the quick hijack

I've gone 154mph so far. Open stretch of highway in Mexico.

158mph at Pocono Raceway this past July. It was my first time on a big oval track like that, so I was relatively cautious at first. Plus my tire pressures & suspension settings were the same as I'd used all day on the road course. With a few adjustments & some added confidence from the last experience, I think I could easily reach the mid-160s next time.

Last time I made my trip down to mexico my speedo read a little above 160, all stock. The incredible thing is how stable the car feels at that speed.

Mexico 170+ i have a vid of 160 from mexico on instagram @ISFTOMMY

Exactly! I went to Mexico all stock (besides my front lip spoiler) and saw 172 and it was still pulling....and it felt more comfortable/stable than my IS300 at 90-100 mpg! Sooooo smooth.
I'm lowered and have JoeZ exhaust now and in triple digit speeds it feels faster and even smoother... although I have been past 150 since these last mods. Would like to take it to an airstrip to see where it really tops out at.
