QUOTE: Had mine at 140 mph and I had quite a bit more pedal had I wanted to stay in it , the Xfire tracked like it was glued to the pavement. END Quote..........


Same here................................... nice ride... very little 'rate of acceleration' decline... probably one of the finest in that category.... i.e. 70-100 about the same as 100-130... no figures to prove it, just the seat of my pants

Thumbs up Re: { Top Speed ? Whatcha got?

2004
Black Coupe
Auto
3.2 (Stock Engine)
All Season Tires

120 MPH on Interstate 88
Started passing 4 semi-trailer trucks, as I pulled away from the last truck the XF was at 115 and continued to 120 without effort. The engine was ready for more, but kept it at 120 for another 20 miles until my exit. Sweet!

You must like your job; I usually do that when I'm thinking of driving home.

Hey Jeff: the next time Warren has testing days at Button Willow, would you like to join me ? I could probably convince SASKINS to join us... I'm up at the track all the time...

just got home, my hands are still shaking from the rush 155 on the 57 S from pomona to brea, my goal was to beat the fastest speed ive ever traveled in a car, which was my dads corvette when a camaro SS tried to give us a go, my dad punched it to 145, so i beat the record, and i think i'll take it easy till i get a corvette, i have to max the corvette out, but that will probably be never, so 155 is my bragging for my life.

i have gotten mine up to 145mph. This tread has nothing to do with the manhood. It has to do with seeing the capability of your vehicle.

135 at 5:30 am last fall. No cars on the road and pretty straight. Handles very nice at that speed. I normally get it over a 100 if I'm on the highway for any length of time.
