Haven't had a good opportunity yet to really let it run but on the way home from Baytown Friday night I let it run up to 125mph on US59 south. From beltway 8 to my exit at Corporate this is brand new road, 5 lanes wide with emergency lanes (7 lane road width) and it lighted. As I went under beltway 8 there was No One in front of me, sooo, I let it run. Very safe. The new Dunlops were smooooth. When the time is right I will go for top speed.

Man, callin me out....:eek:
Lou, didn't you say you hit 135mph already? If so you have current bragging rights, current....
BTW, according to Car & Driver the 90-92s went 150mph off the showroom floor but the 93-94s went 145mph due to the increased drag (aero and friction) from the wider tires
I think Lexus went from 215s to 225s. C&D lists the 95-97s at 156mph and mine has the factory 225s still. Seem to remember you having "slightly" larger tires
Anyway mine was pulling strong at 125
