me and a friend were on the highway, side by side at about 125mph. his speedomoter hit 122 as he was passing me, and mine said 128. Our cars are identicle(03 and an 04 coupe 6mt). ive never gone all out but my buddy has and it topped out at 145 the first time, and the next 2 times were above 150 and the governer shut it down

i dont think the stock G has enough power to hit 165, its drag is too high.

I did 155 on my coupe and ran out of a road. So I would say it can do 160

i think you have to try it a few times. most people say it goes a bit more each time because of the ecu.

The top secret g35 does 190 or something crazy like that, but it is also a TT v-8...

I have the reflash and hit 150 once, but ran out of bawls on the road I was on. The car could easily have done 160, it was still pulling hard.

I have hit 160 right on the money. Had absolutely nothing left to give and was running out of road. But it will do it. Hit 180 in the Vipr the other night and still pulling... that was crazy.

At least the slower traffic in the video stayed to the right. If only that happened to me going to and from work I'd be happy.
