[QUOTE=Intrepid175,Oct 18 2004, 04:12 PM]In a lot of cases, I'd bet they don't find roads that are safe enough to do this.

I'm just messing with you Even though this has been discussed before, this thread gives us something to talk about. I think it is quite entertaining.

Fascinating.... My MY04 redlines in 5th gear at around 130mph. Even the earlier versions redline in 5th well short of 158mph. Maybe you're talking kph?
158 kilometers per hour = 97.96 miles per hour.

147mph with top down on I-90. It was still climbing but I chickened out, both because of cops and the crazy wind in the cabin. When I was doing like 141, the friend that was sitting next to me got hit by a tiny piece of gravel and his cheek was swollen ^_~

Haha, I have the video also...its pretty insane! I think the S2K was stock actually, he only managed to hit that speed because the road started to go downhill.

Anyway the fastest I've gone in my S2K isnt much so far, I've only had it for a month or so...plus the road laws down here are getting stricter, more cops on the prowl etc. I've had it up to around 140km/h, or 88mph.

I did manage 210km/h (132mph) in my ITR though, racing against an s14 k aero.
It was still pulling nicely too, but I had to stop for a redlight camera.
