So - on what kind of roads are you folks doing these speeds?

Car definitely needed more downforce, tho more worried about CHP than losing it.
i did my run over the Robert Moses Causeway on Long Island. It was late at night. The bridge arcs over the Great South Bay of Long Island, and I will admit that i was doing 130 when i hit the top, and touched 150 on the flat straight before the end of the bridge.

Do you have non oem gearing?


AP1s top out at 167 @ 9k.

Turn Zero

I did 147 on US1 before the little motor that could ran out of power
my car is bone stock, including the gears. And I have an AP2. That's 7800rpm if I recall correctly. I may be wrong though, but it was really close to redline.

195 Westbound from Miami Beach, 6:30 am Wednesday morning, next to a MB 380SL, it felt like it wouldn't go any faster in 5th or 6th. Have to try with the top up next time.

CTSC/AC and 4.30 gears will pull redline in sixth with the top down.
Never done it with the GPS in the car or checked with the RADAR gun, so I really don't know how fast that is, but it's fast enough.
What was the mph on your speedo?
