132 in my FD. Might I add, still felt pretty steady. I'd have gone faster, but the stretch I was on was "hilly" and I couldn't see the other side—hills were coming too fast.

Take the jumps, they're worth extra points!

I don't think that a stock 12a fb can do more than 110 mph. I hit 105 on a flat road with no wind. It was stable but out of breath.

My old 280zx was fast. It had that crap 85 mph speedo, but the needle would peg much further on. Looking at the distance between 85 and the peg, I estimated 130, maybe more.

In my father's Miata, and me in the RX, I have done 117 in a stock FB. This was my old SA though.

i hit about 115 in my stock 84 racing and older nizzan z, you know the boxy looking ones that EVERYBODY gets the first gen rxs mixed up with. then accually just the other day in my avenger i hit about 135 racing a civic v-tech. dude was driving on the shoulder trying to catch up. it was fun till we came around a turn and there was a va state trooper in the median. needless to say we stopped it there cause doubling the speed limit with a suspended license= not smart.

I wrapped the 90 MPH speedo in my old rotary GLC back around to 0. Still had some power and gear left.

135mph in my '86 Toyota Celica GT-S
only about 95mph in my 7 last time it was street legal, before the front body panels were torn off. Would have gone faster, but the U-joints are hosed and it had started to shake real bad once I got past 80. Didn't feel like throwing the prop shaft at triple digits.
Went 115 in my friends FB (not stock), that was a blast.
Fastest I've ever gone is about 150mph, in another friends heavily modified 87 Celica.

Does anyone on here know anyone or have they ever been in those highway supras that do like 190-200 + mph? That would be epic.
