135. Out in the middel of no where coming into a valley were I could see the road for the next 15 miles. And no traffic. At all. Still had a lot left in her!

touched 140 on I-5 north of Stockton, no traffic. The car felt great but the fear of a hidden and bored CHP kept me from sustaining it for more than a second. I didn't notice any hood shaking like I've read about. I've done 120 on accident just passing a car late night on the freeway just cruising. This car is really smooth and doesn't feel like it's going as fast as it is.
gonna be EXPENSIVE!

I wonder what it would have done in 5th gear? :scratch:

I270 N in Maryland after the Father Hurley exit, heading home after work, hit 120 and ran out of clear road. Had the wife in it one day and told her we're doing 90 ("Slow down!!!") but we were really doing about 110. Surprisingly stable.

120 on a back road. It was a little too much fun. Next summer I'm shooting for 145. 
But really, I enjoy opening it up on some curves a lot more. Anybody can go fast in a straight line. G forces trying to pull you out of your seat are much more fun.

I've been up to about 135 and that was up a slight incline, and promptly ran out of straight asphalt. Lots of revs left on the tach, but I don't think the motor could use them all in 5th. I wonder if top speed is in 4th on a stock set up...?
