Default Your Top Speed

In no way am I condoning the breaking of any traffic laws with this post, but I am curious:

I've taken my new baby Spa to 119 and it didn't feel twitchy, or light on the tires in the least. The Yamaha R1 that I took to +160 was a little different.

How about you? How fast have you gone in your S? How would you describe the handling at that speed?

Not an S2000 owner? What's the fastest you've been in a car? What was it? How was the handling?

Do tell...

125mph on a local track. The car felt stable and I could have pushed it higher before the upcoming turn, but since I'm a novice I chicken out and hit the brakes early.

According to the AVC-R peak hold, I took the old Turbo Integra to around 150 on the on ramp. That car was nuts.

Once I let off the back end started to go side to side. It's not stable at all during those speeds.
