How fast have you gone in your 8.

So far with my A/T I hit 65, but it started raining, and I have the orginal tires, so i had to slow up a bit. I love the headlights on bright you can see for ever.



(did a search for no such topic yet).

Mazda dealerships don't have FBI powers. They're unlikely to identify you from the forums alone, unless you're going to give out a lot of information about yourself here.

Ummmm, I’m not sure how making it up to the speed limit qualifies for an interesting topic for a thread. ??? I've had mine all the way to 57mph.

LOL

I have a speed trap on my way to work (limit drops to 35 on a divided highway 1/4 mile in advance of an intersection, cops sit there all day ticketing people.) I was behind a C6 from out of state the other day and we were both going about 50. Guess who got the ticket . . . I felt bad for him. The cop gunned it to get out behind him and in front of me for the stop. If I had been in the 8 instead of the Sienna, he may have just taken me.
