top speed
#127
I've gone 137 ( or maybe 139 ) in 4th redline and gone beyond that into 5th and 6th, don't know how fast I was going finally.. i was a bit busy at the time. I just remember looking down at the speed and catching 137 while changing gears.. i might of even been in 5th.

Still watching
awesome speeds, i have topped out at 115 but i will try harder soon enough. My only chance is on the freeway after school LATE, but I still feel self concious, not to mention I have 2 weeks or so before i am clear for 18 months.

Damn... Most ya'll are either brave, crazy or just st00pid!
I had mine up to 110 for a very short time in a 70MPH zone. I was not bothered at all by my nerves, rather by the thought of a wreckless charge and loss of licence. I would like to find her top-end but most tracks are to short for long forward pulls. Highways are great...but if I am gonna spend hundreds to thousands on something... it will be on up-grades rather than tickets and lawyers.
Also, as I read these posts I can't help but to think some of these reported speeds are ExaGeRaTEd just a wintzy bit. But, go get em boys. Mine is bigger, mine is longer, mine is harder!!!![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Only time I'll ever get on mine is late at night and on certain places where I can see for miles ( xenon headlights kick *** ). It was cool and it's flat so my only worry was some critter wandering out onto the road. There's absolutley noone for 15-20 miles in either direction on the road I use when I was doing my "speed trials". I passed 1 or 2 cars the entire trip and noone when I was maxing her out.
