Not only is this standard info due to the tranny of the FD, but I also know this for a fact, since I've seen 150+ a few times...
Either you're full of it, or you have a totally diff gear ratio (which I still don't think would last you up to 156...) or a totally diff tranny...

take it up to 160 with ease with jus a DP and cat-back... do it on a regular basis to keep my sanity... the speedo says 180, though, so I don't think I'll do the fd justice if I never take it up there just once... one day...

175MPH, with a passenger, still felt like had loads left, but suddenly realised how quickly I could kill myself and bottled it! I was teaching a Suburu Impreza a lesson at the time and it felt good!!!

I've been up to about 160 but it was a long time ago. I hit 140 all the time but rarely go over that. I like to run out 4th then slow down. The faster your car is the less room you need haha. I usually hit around 130 or so before the entrance ramp even runs out LOL

"Where are you guys finding the roadspace to safetly hit 180mph??!! When I hit 160, it took me a considerable length of road to get to 165...and by then I had prob. already travelled well over 2 miles in total. To find a perfectly flat, clear, highly visible and open road like that...I guess I'm just living in the wrong state"
I have a nice stretch of deserted highway close to my house. You rarely see any other cars. Has some hills, curves, and an uphill followed by a flat straight to an overpass where you can wind down and go back to town.
I've been up to 160-165 w. a police officer as my passenger. He commented on how stable it felt!

Not like the american tuners that they only they care about the 1/4 mile times.
I live in Santiago City , in Chile , South America. here we have a lots of hiways , and when we race in the street it is all about the top speed and handling.
I have some videos of me racing in Santiago Hiways ,as soon as they inagurate they , At that moment I only reach 230kph , but the last time that I race I reach 280kph.
Please If you have some information that you whant to sare with me I will apreciate it a lot.
