I think k when your going 85+ and get on it you pretty much blow the coon farts out.

Most people don;t know that there's a mile high pass there

It's a car in which it's easy to find yourself going a lot faster than you may want...

Meanwhile The Google tells me the car will go 124 mph, so how could that be wrong?

Lexus claims 124 mph for the 5th gen RX top speed, except the 500h, which will do 130.

I’ve done about 105 passing on West Texas two lanes. Gone faster with my Golf.

With the state putting all these passing lane zones in the last few years, it’s something I probably won’t be doing much of in the future.

When you start from 88 the car goes to a 100 quick I think

I haven't driven a sports car in a couple of decades. But I don't remember them having this much get up and go.

And the last car a supera out west got up and went. also it over heated but that was more than 100 ha

I can be sure it goes to 118, I wish I knew about 124 at that range it would it been easy to test. I had nice early morning run. Had some chance cars to follow which made it easy. I can say I was around this speed for probably over 5 mins and it was very steady, it ran very solid it didn't feel like that speed at all. I really think this truck is under estimated, I understand I have F sport AVS but still I was in straight line so assume standard version would do the same.

Wow, I have a sports car and didn't feel too comfortable going triple digits in my wife's RX and now TX. The non F-sport version is too floaty for me.

Maybe then the AVS makes difference and believe there sway bars as well in F sport, because I can say it felt beyond solid no sway at all.
In addition I do know the six position brakes are amazing at high speeds, I know for local driving can be overkill but on HWY they are spot on.

You speedy guys need to set the suspension to SPORT in settings before those trips.
Settings>Drive Mode>Custom>Suspension>Sport

~ 50.00 here


That reduces the floaty feeling. We keep that mode on, ALL THE TIME.
