**How fast have you gone in your max???**
 
Hey guys, i know this has probably been asked before but i was just curious. Just wondering who thinks they have gone the fastest in their max on the .org and where (highway, track..?) and also obviously what speed?!

Maxine 09-15-2004 08:45 AM

133 on the highway.

Brudaddy 09-15-2004 08:49 AM

About 137.
It just gets a little scary on these messed up roads after that.

mendon99 09-15-2004 08:52 AM

sweet. yeah i hit just about 140 also... anyone more than that???

Torgus 09-15-2004 09:03 AM

if i had a SAFE place to test top speed again i would.
seeing how fast you can go on a highway is a bit to dangerous for me...remember double the speed limit = cop cuts up license right away.

128 mph 97 GLE unmodded.

i doubt a max could go over 165mph.

and at speeds above 140 i think a max would **** itself and become very dangerous and undrivable.

it ain't no sports car!


Oh! and speedometers on cars are known to be Highly unaccurate at high speeds.

Zack342 09-15-2004 09:07 AM

i have done 140 twice before i let off and she seems like she had some left.
i have do 130-135 alot
110 daily if just for a little while. i hit 140 on I95 comming back from RI. 3am. and i also 24 South is good.

MaxedOutOfCash 09-15-2004 09:10 AM

repost x 1000000000000000

but since you ask

i have taken her up to 75mph a couple times.:rolleyes:

A32Matt 09-15-2004 09:24 AM

140 while racin a grand am gt. on the parkway with just an intake. never been able to get it back up there since.

joosdawg 09-15-2004 09:28 AM

128 stock, just thought id take the test drive to the max before i bought it ;)

bullfrog 09-15-2004 09:39 AM

only 125, but while racing a mercedes on interstate access roads. completely stock. kinda dangerous.

Kevlo911 09-15-2004 09:59 AM

137-138 It wasn't to bad at those speeds because of my suspension. 140+ after VI :-D

Kta920 09-15-2004 10:08 AM

BURIED on the highway :)

145+

BORQUA79 09-15-2004 10:11 AM

hope you didnt waste too much gas, but anyway

ive done 136

Mr.Duck 09-15-2004 11:13 AM

ive done 125-130 racing a friends volvo s40(im bone stock), also did 120 racing an a4 on the express lanes going to chicago.. that was scary.. damn curves are sharper than i remember....lol wont be doing that again any time soon

SkoorbMax 09-15-2004 11:34 AM

Only 110 in this one. I've not really bothered testing it out yet, and the fact that my frnots are nearly bald and I need an alignment doesn't help.

THT 09-15-2004 11:43 AM

130mph and she still had plenty left to give. Car felt fine too but that could be due to the aftermarket suspension.

~THT

MrEous 09-15-2004 11:46 AM

Tach said 140+ but I didn't have a GPS unit to verify the actual speed.
*shrug*

Seximus Maximus 09-15-2004 11:58 AM

140+ on a very open highway. As with all the advice u hear it is always dangerous to go that fast on populated roads so always be safe :mardi:

Maximus_95 09-15-2004 12:04 PM

running a camaro ss on the 405s freeway, and hit 142-143 when i was boosted.
funny thing is that i didn't even feel or realize that i was going that fast until i looked at the gauges.

Ralph Wigum 09-15-2004 12:07 PM

about 120ish driving in canada

BlueC 09-15-2004 12:10 PM

Ive hit 135mph twice. That was on a long stretch of highway early in the morning with nearly no cars. Its too scary above 110mph, realizing that if a tire blows out or I run over some debree, ill be dead. On the highways in the cities, I probably hit 90 a few times, but average 70-80mph. The Max isnt exactly a true sports car or anything, not meant for high speed turns.

A32Matt 09-15-2004 12:15 PM

killcrap, the guy wanted to run me and i've never gone against a new ram air gt. so it was worth it to see what happened. didn't know those cars were governed though.

"The Max isnt exactly a true sports car or anything, not meant for high speed turns"

this is an understatement but the car is quite stable on nice flat roads at those speeds. i have been up there a couple of times and never felt scared. i wouldn't recommend taking any sort or corners or turns.

ny96max 09-15-2004 12:29 PM

120 with plenty to go, just not enough straight road. This was on 95 south in RhodeIsland. Recently ran her up to 130ish running an Acura Cl on the highway. And yes i beat him by 2 car lengths :king:

GoalieKeg 09-15-2004 12:49 PM

115, the limiter on my car. I'll probably try for faster after I get my suspension. Until then, I won't be removing the limiter. For my own safety. :D

aceptedeclectic 09-15-2004 12:50 PM

I got my max up to around 135 but I think it could have gone a little faster but the freeway wasn't super straight and I was afraid to go faster although I think it could have. The max was super smooth at this speed though and my friend in the back seat thought we were going like 90 to 100. We also had a bycicle rack and a bike on the back of the car at the time.

apbrian112 09-15-2004 01:50 PM

135ish... but that was a mile up on interstate 25 in colorado, heading north to denver from springs.

90stanza 09-15-2004 02:17 PM

120ish when i first got my max a few weeks ago. It was on a new section of highway over a bridge. Me and my brother went out there to check it out and since it was empty pretty much we gunned it across the bridge. I had fun blasting past his Altima.

happyricefob 09-15-2004 02:57 PM

25mph.........

CaLSoNiC 09-15-2004 03:26 PM

I hit the rev limited in 5th gear... that was awesome... speedo was like what looked to be a good 10mph past 140, but I only checked real quick.

maxima_se007 09-15-2004 04:21 PM

I've been to 142/143.The max wasn't up to redline either; I had 300rpms or so to 6,500. So, I could have squeezed a few more mph out of it, but that was fast enough for me. I did it on a back road away from anyone, drove it a few times to make sure nobody was around, no potholes, etc. It was a straight road and the max was pretty stable. I wouldn't recommend ANY turns while going that fast in the max tho. Be careful!

myke321 09-15-2004 04:58 PM

110mph on the way to Vegas. I didnt really want to test it any faster...Yet.

waveridr85 09-15-2004 04:59 PM

i did 120 on a turn and it felt as if my tail was about to give, and slightly sliding out

Jepht20 09-15-2004 05:27 PM

i don't think i've ever been faster than 105 tops in my max. i don't see any reason to go that fast, and wouldn't want to deal with police or insurance for something as lame as driving at high speeds in my floaty car...or die.

papasmurf 09-15-2004 05:33 PM

I was racing a 1999 BMW M-3 and when we stopped and conversed I asked him what we got up to and he said well my needle read 153 to 155. But mine of course was pegged so I have to go off what he says. but thats the fastest and I only did it once but the fastest Ive gone over and over again is right aroung 140 to 143.

97GoldGLE 09-15-2004 05:39 PM

I did 120 racing a civic got scared and let off the gas... Car was too loose at that speed..

ParaMax 09-15-2004 05:51 PM

I hit 125 in my 3rd Gen and about in the 120s in my 4th. I don't like going that fast on stock tires and no suspension mods... :) Heh.... Then again... I don't really like going that fast period. If any little thing goes wrong, I'm soo dead. I'm not trying to be dead right now....

:werd: i agree with this guy, insurance is high when ur a 16 year old, no point in making it ne higher. that being said, ive only been up to 105 ish, and that was in the early morning when there were no cars at all on the freeway. too scared to go any faster with my suspension (stock, and i need new rear struts/ springs)

ACEEMaxima 09-15-2004 06:16 PM

when I first got mine a couple weeks ago...I tried to open it up...I got up to...about 130...and still could have went more...but I'll try again just for ya'll :D
