150ish. I wasn't gawking at the dash at that speed. Took a little while to get up to it, but it was pretty stable. Not sure if it was over or under, but it was right around it.

Next opportunity I have I'll pay closer attention.

well, i'm not absolutely sure but north of 120 for a while is the range.

question: seems like, north of maybe 90ish or so, the car squats and gets more stable. maybe lower, maybe tighter. am i imagining this or is it the spoiler or what? is there some kind of active system on the shocks/springs??

I have been up to 110...once...traffic and CHP CONCERNS have prevented me from going faster. My past car, a 2000 Mustang GT, I hit 115mph once in 4 years. Now it seems, with the Crossfire, that I bounce off 100mph about once a week..............hoping I don't get ticket :wink:

125 - 130 at 4:45 am in the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel.... No radar in the tunnel. I drive trough the tunnel 5 days a week at about the same time. No traffic at all in the tunnel @ that time of the morning.

High speed driving is unlawful and just poor judgment here in the U.S. This form of driving should only be done in a controlled environment such as the track. This thread only encourages such immature practices. That said.....



127 on I-95 a little North of Baltimore. ops: I had a nice (but rare) gap in traffic late one morning allowing me enough time to accelerate before catching the cars in front of me. I generally don't like passing non-participant motorists at too fast a clip because you can't be sure of an unexpected lane change, etc.

Only 90 playing with a Nissan Maxima, co-pilot (wife) runs out of guts after that. SLOW DOWN :twisted: if I have heard it once I have heard it a thousand times (been married a long time)
