It must be really "hairy" to go those speeds with the top down.....

I did 120, on a stretch on the interstate, road testing the new Michelin's. There was plenty left and surprisingly solid, felt it would do an other 40-50. It did seem to take for ever to slow down without braking. After that 65 felt was a crawl.

Top up, in 5th grear @ 4500rpm.

with 20in wheels... the true speed is around 150mph, still plenty of pedal and oh so smooth and quiet.



And what a night it was!

I held the wheel at the bottom, and held the camera with the other hand just below my chin. Snapped a few shots, some blurry, some out of focus... but this one is nice and clear.

The flash inside the car... makes it look like the headlights aren't on, but they are on.

Well I dont know if you guys remember but I had a youtube video of me going lil over 140. Its not on there anymore but ill have to put it up again I guess LOL. I did it once more without video, and hit almost 155 then I felt bad for abusing the car Anyway id guess this car can max out around 160+ (without limiter, itll take forever tho) Not to bash on SC430, but its not a great idea to even go that fast in any car.....much less an SC.

I did it twice....never again in my SC

Remember guys...luxury cruiser

The fastest speed my car can go is 150 Mph 2004 SC430
may friend was able to do only 145 Mph 2003 SC430
we both tried many times in deferent condiitons but it wont exceed 150 Mph!!!
I dont think that our engines can do more than that with out any engine mods!!
I wonder those SC430s with headers and exhuset, to what speed it can reach!!
I heared the our SC430 are programmed to do not exceed 150Mph, is it tru?!
