maxima insomia experience
It's 3:30am and I can't fall asleep. I read the maxima top speed thread and people say their top speed for 5 speed SE are 120-140?145?
I decide the take the maxima out the i-40 and the spurt of the moment to see what my max could do. Now from my understanding, SE models have no speed governors. I get on the hw and finally mustard up the courage to let all he** break loose. I'm cruising around 90-100mph and just dumped it into 4th. Wow 4th topped at 128 129.?? Fifth took me all the way to the 140 mph speedometer. I pussed out and stopped but I swear the car was still pulling at 140. At 3:30 something in the morning I wasn't feeling brave enough to keep going even I wish I would have. Any one else have any similar 140, 140+mph encouters??? Interested to know.

On a trip through West Texas I got it up to around 125-128mph, but I didn't feel comfortable going any faster on my stock suspension, 15 inch wheels and sh!tty tires. Once I get some AGX's with some good springs I'm sure I'll pass 140mph.
