I've broken a hundred but still breaking in the engine. Can't wait to see what it's governed at (around 150 i hear).

I hit 150 at 4am on the way home last week. Felt like 80 in any other car, very stable. I left it in 6th and floored it rather than downshifting, and was still quick to hit 150 from 85. Definatly has more to go, but my exit was coming up (really fast I might add).

I hit 134 on the FL turnpike about a month ago near YeeHaw Junction. Car handled fantastic. Too bad cruise control is only good up to 89 MPH.

106 w/top down while breaking car in. That was 4k rpm in 6th gear. I've been in the low 120's but I'm just feeling the car out. It's just 5 weeks old.

117... the drummer for my band was in the passenger seat and he was looking for anything to hold on to 117 isn't even that fast... if I was going maybe 140+ then I'd expect him to start acting like he did

65mph on the interstate



















hehe.. i think i hit 110 but i wasn't really paying attention to the dash... i agree with ppl here, feels really stable and feels like your going 60 on any other car
