How fast in the Max?

I finally broke through the 1000 mile mark yesterday and decided to see how far fourth can go, i was going about 115mph when i let off at redline. im just wondering how fast people have been able to go.

I've had the 2K1 Auto up to 130 and still some pedal left. Completely Stock at that. They're quick. Quick enough. My wife outran my patrol car. I know that!

top speed

well on the beltway i came up on a 97 bmw 750iL with huge rims i think 20's or 22's and a blue acura cl s type all 3 of us met up at the same time and the bmw hit it first, me and the bmw were exactly beside each other at about 145mph i dont think i could go any faster neither could he, the acura was one car length in front of both of us and looked like he was pulling away from us very very slightly maybe not at all but he had us beat.....so 145mph was my fastest.. not unhappy with that at all.

I would be upset to loose to an Acura TL..even a type S..guess they are faster than 2k-2k1 manual.

I will be very limited in my description.....

It was 4 am , I was going south on I5 to a friends house.. I hit 145 .... I had 4 people in the Whip with Ludacris Bumping.... I think I might have hit 150.... if I wasnt going uphill... By the way.. The Frankencar was louder than the stock Bose POS !
