**How fast have you gone in your max???**
**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?!
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.

hope you didnt waste too much gas, but anyway
ive done 136
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
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.

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.

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.

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.
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!
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.

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.

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....

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)
