I hit 124 on Friday on my way to Tucson. Thought I'd be able to do more, but I remember there being less traffic here in AZ....thought it's been 6 years since I'e been here.

OK, new top speed, subsequent to my last post - 142 on the I-5 north coming home from AZ. 10:30 at night, saw a gap in traffic and got on it. What a rush!

188 in my 2002 C32 (LET Motorsports Stage 2+, new tires).. Hwy 680 off of I-80

Yes.. the ECU code update defeats the governor.. I had plenty of extra pedal.. ran out of room.

Jesus- anybody get busted at these speeds?
I hit 145ish with my turbo DSM when I was in high school and was promptly pulled over after exiting the freeway. I almost had a heart attack figuring the cop saw my high-speed run, but it turned out he just wanted to grill me about my exhaust. Haven't done much top speed stuff since...

The 2nd day I had my C32 (just last week LOL) I had the cruise set at 70 when I came over a crest and had awesome straight, flat, empty divided highway ahead of me. And no place for cops to hide. I punched it and went 70-135 in what felt like one second - but it was probly two hehe
It was totally stable and was still pulling hard but I had to let off for my exit. I guess these are factory limited to 155?

Years ago I went (an indicated) 150+ in my modified IROC, but it was a whole different experience. Thing felt like it was gonna come apart.

So I have eurocharged v2. haven't really gone over 135 after upgrading pulley
Think I'm delimited?

I went about 159 when last car was stock got scared and slowed down, but never felt limiter kick in. I'm just too scared of cops. Wish I had a place to test her out! Lucky Europeans!
