I've only wound out 3rd.. But that was still going 100 on a curvy *** road

I shifted to 4th and she was still pulliing stron... I would venture to bet that I could top 140 if i had the road and *****.

Yep, I hit 140 by the speedo in my 87 sport as well. But it only crawled up from 130. The front end gets very light at that speed.

High speed in a car is kinda boring. Try 150+ on a motorcycle, much more fun.

I had my 89 up to 140, with almost no mods. I havent tried in my 90 since all of the mods. I have shitty tires, and the only good place to do it brings back very bad memories for me. But I would say I could hit 155-160 now.

With the mods in my sig, and a shitty clutch, I hit 145mph. I think my speedo might be a little off though, probably closer to 140.

i've hit 145 during the day with current mods, a passenger, luggage in the back, and going up a little hill. could've gone faster cause she was still pulling strong, but the girl in the car was like "ok thats enough" damn girls. so i say i could've hit like 155+

i hit 125 on the highway once after i laughed at a rice boy in his honduh civic. i could have gone faster but i backed off after i saw he couldn't keep up . Also, it was about 4:30 in the afternoon so i was a little scared of some little old lady pulling out infront of me. All in all not bad for a stock N/A Rex with 168,000 miles on it.

133 mph is past redline in fourth on a '90 GXL? If I'm not mistaken the gears are the same in that and the cars I have listed below...

Both my '90 GTU and my '89 convertible hit 140 (speedometer) at about 8200 RPM's in fourth gear.

Were you speaking of speedometer indicated speed or actual speed?

150 MPH Racing an MR2 turbo and an Audi on a 3 lane freeway. They didn't keep up very much. Not a wise thing to do though.
