125, roll on with a Camaro Z28. I was minding my own business on the freeway, cruise set at 80mph. This guy comes on the freeway and slows down right in front of me. I'm like, what a **** head. So I go to go around him with out downshifting and he blocked me. So I got back in behind him, saw an opening, downshifted to 4th and hit it. Just before I got all the way beside him I saw his front end lift up as he got on it. I walked way from him, looked like he shut it down about the time I hit 120, then I shut it down about 125.

I accidentally hit 180km/h passing someone 112mph, I didn't try to, it was an accident, didn't even realize it until I looked down, and then hit the brakes.

The 3.5 SE CVT is limited to 130mph and the 6spd is 145mph. Everything else is limited to 114mph. I've hit the limiter... twice.

I've been faster as well, 156 mph on my R1. I've also had both the Audi RS4 and R8 up to about 120 on Infineon Raceway at an Audi Experience event back in December. With an 2 other cars infront of me and no passing alowed...

I had an A/C out for a test drive here in Calgary last week and I had it up to 180 Km/h without even knowing it......112 MPH for those American folks......I was really surprised how easily the car handles it. I too think excessive speed is needless risk but, I had to see what the car was capable of.

Only been to ~ 105 so far (08 3.5 SE). It's still in the break-in period, though, so I'm taking it pretty easy. Plus, I'm not sure I'd trust the stock tires for too much more. I did hit 154 in my 350z about a year ago when I still had it, and it felt more stable at that speed than the AC does at 105, haha. If I'd drop the AC and get new wheels/tires, I'm sure its limit of 130 wouldn't be too bad.

Only been to about 85 mph in the a/c. With 7 tickets under my belt, I just don't want to take the chance anymore...its too da**ed expensive. But in my Spec-V, i can confirm to you that the speed limiter is set right at 135. It races up to 125 like nothing...but then starts slowing down drastically as the a/f mixture gets leaned out of existance

yea im going to have to get a radar detector if i keep hitting those speeds around the beltway.

Unfortunately i split off to 270 North while the Z4 continued on the beltway....we were going back and forth passing each other from the American Leigon Bridge up to the split.

I must leave at horrible times....

66 (when i used to go that route in the morning) was a parking lot and its usually jammed at night from nutley to 123...

the beltway is usually backed up for me because either 66 is backed up to hell or the 270 spur is backed up to hell... or both..

i just borrow my dads every chance i get...he has the really good passport one.

and l33th41, i used to drive 66 every morning at around 9:30 in the summer and it was a race track...but on the way from work it was hell.

BTW check regional forums, were organizing a NOVA meet and i want some Altimas there. the only people that show so far are 240sx folk
