Whats the top speed you've taken your coupe to?

This past weekend I've taken it to 140-142.

Wow!
Only 120 for me, then I got nervous when I contemplated what a speeding ticket would cost

around 140, i didnt even look at teh speedometer, my eyes were on the road the whole time, my cousin had to check it for me, i went around a curve at about 120 and it was pretty scary, i could feel most of the weight shift to the one side

Yeah, it's pretty crazy at those speeds, but after 140, the car accellerations slow down big time. I wonder what's the absolute top speed stock.

Speedo said 158, but im guessin thats 155 cause it stopped goin after that. I remember checkin my speed on one of those "Your going this fast" radar trailers and it was 2-3mph off

The only mods i have are the Injen Intake and Injen SES Exhuast, i had my spare in, and probably some books from school as well. Maybe NXT helped me out

Zero shaking at 135, where I backed down.

The fastest I've ever gotten to is somewhere between 130-135. I'm not sure b/c I was watching the road and not my speedometer.

145 MPH Had about a thousand RPM left but it just seemed to stop at that speed, I have an automatic trans mission ,
SEE MY CARS PROFILE FOR A PICTURE OF IT AS PROOF.

136-138 with 3 other people in the car... it didn't take long to get there, although when your going that fast a few seconds can seem like a few minutes...

the car felt extremely tight, although at about 130 i could really start to feel the speed and backed off soon after as i saw some cars ahead.

shaking?? I would take it in, my friend had a similar problem (shaking would occur at strange speeds) and his wheels just needed balancing.

Only about 100. It's good enough for me to know it'll go a lot faster. [img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
