Ive hit about 130 - 140 mph. It was bad cause we were going to vegas and a beautiful black 911 porsche wizzes by me like nothing and i was going 80mph! Then he slows down right next to me and steps on the gas again. Then my bro's like "Dude he wants to race you." I said "Yeah Right! THat guy'll smoke me." So the guy slows down again and gets right next to me and then he gives me the hand signal like saying "Go! Go! Go!" SO I step on it. We rolled from 80. I was even for like 4 secs. till he started passing me. I hit all that it can go and he was still going further and further. HE must of been hittin like 170mph. It was P.I.M.P.
Yeah, I find passengers distracting, so I have to drive slower and safer. Isn't it amazing that your friends like to push your buttons just when you're driving? Isn't that nice - just when you have their lives in your hands - best time to annoy ya.
Oh, and I think 115 or so in an MR2 Spyder - top down. Just for a sec. No passenger.

I want to see the top speed on a Turbo'd 7th gen celi! Who got one? What are you getting?
gt's are limited to about 140 by gearing, wheel size ext...
my freind john (johnsGT) has the SF kit and 17's and he tops out at 140
the car pulls like crazy up to there... but cant go any faster because of the tranny...
How does the tranny limit it?
I don't see how a tranny would limit the top speed. I think everyone here who reaches top speed is limited by horsepower only. They are no where near redline when they get to 145MPH in their GTS's.

because the transmission controls the power to the wheels.
once you spin the gear to it's maximum potential, it's finished.
You can't go over a certain speed in first gear, same thing applies to 5th gear
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation To know even one life has breathed easier This is to have succeeded.

You mean redline? Where is redline in sixth gear? 160MPH? Higher? If not, you could put on oversized tires & get more. Automatic maybe higher as well.
Don't ya know, everyone has a friend with a car that will do 215MPH.
Imagine you were in your friends car and he started driving at 200mph. LOL. You'd be like, slow it down a fucking bit or what?
Things would probably be a little bit unstable at 215mph. Put your arm out the window and you could take off.
I don't make a good passenger. I would drive that speed if I could, but I would never get in a car with someone else driving that speed, that would be stupid.
110 mph on our 2002 Ford SUV going to San Francisco 110 mph on our 95 toyota corolla - it was shaking at first then when I got up to 100 it smooth out. 120-125 on my gt celica on the way home from the 71 fwy with 2 passenger.
