How fast have you gone in your FD?

I am sure we have had this thread before, but maybe people have updated speeds now.

And how safe did you feel at that speed?

170 and it didnt feel that bad but I was only going straight. I've done 140-150 on a somewhat tight freeway interchange (from one big freeway to another that was perpendicular, three lanes wide) and stayed in my own lane fine.

I'm curious now, how fast can a stock FD go in a straight line?

150, It got up there really fast, because i was going downhill. it really isnt the safest feeling in the world when the stripes on the highway become white lines...

Comming down the hills from tracy area to dublin?
Watch for the cop that hangs out on the first exit and the ones that chill at the truck scales.

Then you bump the old thread to get "new" replies.
