Damn, Jedi...you beat me to the Back to the Future line....oh well my flux capacitor never works anyway. The plutonium I got wasn't weapons grade so it screwed everything up.
I have been near 130mph in an RX-8 (not mine), but it was on a race track. I don't think my RX-8 has topped 85mph.

Well I live in Germany and there are cops but there never on that part of the autobahn at lunch time so I do speeds like that everyday as long as traffic isn't bad.

yea these cars have potential to do at least 150, dependin on where ur rx8 is from america, europe, australia, might vary a bit from country to country......but dependin on road conditions as well......n anyone who says they cant do over 120-130 i believe has the its either 4AT or 5AT (notsure) which i believe has a built in governor......now the 8's with the 6MT, dont have a governor only a fuel cut.
