I got my RX-8 to just bearly hit 140... that was scary fast enough for me... then i got my 7 and stopped paying attention to the speedo around 165. My PFC logged me at 179 top speed before i ran out of straight road.

I've had my FD at 162 mph and my FC at 140 mph. I was alot younger and dumber back then. There are so many cars on the road now, it's next to impossible to do that and truly feel safe.

It's a 152 mph run that I did the second day after owning the car. Before you say anything, I drove for 50 minutes out of the city just to test the speed. Perfect straight road with no traffic or intersections. Since then I've been up to 160 mph. I don't get how you guys say that you start shitting your pants at those speeds, it doesn't feel that bad. My friend even said its not what he expected lol.
I pretty much lost most of the interest in these types of high speed runs after about 1-2 months. I'm a track junkie now.

I had my friend's stock automatic FD to 155 mph. It was on a long stretch of road. It got to 145 fast, but slow from there. There was no one else on the road, and I would have surely died if the smallest thing went wrong. I do not recommend it.

Multiply by Point 6 to get MPH
