Curious what the top speed of a Rogue is. The speedometer goes to 160 so I figure there is at least 40 of it that is wasted.

Also what is the fastest anyone has gone in their Rogue? I got mine to 90 on the interstate one day when I thought I was going about 75. I stepped on the brakes pretty quickly.

110mph is about right.

I have never driven my Rogue that fast... nor will I. Ever since the new legislation came in Ontario (Canada), exceeding the posted speed limit by 30mph (50km/h) and getting caught is automatic vehicle impoundment and license suspension. We have some of the strictest laws in North America when it comes to speeding. All in the name of combating street racing.

Agreed. Why tempt fate?

You can get a ticket for showing a picture of your speedometer if speeding?

Can you get a ticket for posting your highest speed?

I got to 100mph in a passing maneuver once (going down hill), my wife tells me it was kinda close but it didn't seem that way to me. Good to know that 110 is the max though, I guess there was still a bit of leeway to punch the gas had I needed it.

I have been about 80/85 in the Rogue. Had my 350Z up to 135, and I gotta say, as poorly as the Rogue handles, I would absolutely recommend against going 100+ in it.

To be honest it was stupid to go 135 in a Z, even though at that speed it handled a bit tighter than my Rogue does at 85.
