I've done 110 with the top down...the ultimate a/c !!! We have a street called Benefit Road in Chesapeake Va. There's a section where the straightaway goes on for at least 5 miles or so.I would've gone faster if it weren't for tractors,farm equipment ,and deer.

 

I don't have a 10% optimism on my speedometer. According the the GPS 125 mph on the GPS was 128 mph on the dial. That is only 2.5%

 

No i pressed my special button to release the trunk monkey which entered the cabin and took the picture for me

haha no seriously, I actually needed to get it out of my pocket first... I can say that the car did not behave strangly on steering, or braking inputs at that speed and it just felt like it was going 100mph. So it felt perfectly safe.

But again, i had some mods making the car WAY more stable than a stock ap1. kwv3 ftw!

I live on the border of germany so i have a lot of autobahn drives during a year.

It's very common that if you drive 200kph on the autobahn, that you will be overtaken several times by much faster cars...

Too bad you guys have such strickt laws that prevent you to push it to these kinds of speeds sometimes. The german autobahn is a experience of it's own!

 

Mate, regardless of how stable the car felt you're a looney tune for taking your hand off the wheel and rumaging in your pocket at that speed!

 

You're my hero!
Top speed is boring!

 

Lol at people who think stock s2k is stable at high speeds. As others have noted, German cars feel much better at those speeds. Not surprising that Those ppl are the ones who drive on the autobahn too. Even a jetta feels more stable at speed hehe.

 

I rented a brand new Skoda Octavia back in 2005 when I was in the Czech Republic. The car felt pretty stable when I topped it out at around 120-130 mph heading from Prague to Brno, more so than the S2000. It's probably the combination of the lively suspension, short wheelbase, mid-engine, low polar inertial moment, quick steering rack, not too great aerodynamics, rear lift, low weight that contribute to this feel.

 

aka...Jetta.

 

I totally agree with you. I used to have a VR5 Jetta, the car is so stable that you don’t know you’re doing 230km/h unless you look at the speedo. I can take long curves at really high speed without fear. But doing so in the S2000 is a bit scary.

 

The s2000 is stable in stock form if your alignment and tire pressures are set up properly, no need for fancy aftermarket kit. I've done 250+ kph in my stock MY2000 without problems. In the dry, of course!
