help....can anyone go over 100mph...?

In Quebec 100 mph is cruising speed on some highways. You'll get high beamed in the fast lane if you're doing under 90 mph
 
So much for gas mileage lol...the P5 feels like it's thrashing itself to death at 80 lol

Remember - It's not you, speeding, that makes it dangerous, it's the other dipheads that don't expect you to be having fun.

Sure, I don't have a P5(my grandma does, Silver/chrome wheels...driven to the grocery store and back, got like 5K miles on it, maybe), but I'm tired of all of this "you're gonna kill someone" and "you should take it to the track". In St. Louis, the track is a 1/4 mile, and you can't drive on the oval, and if you could you couldn't get to the top speed of your car. I drive fast all the time, 80-90 on the highway(until there's someone infront of me) every time, and spurts of 100-125(or flat out really) when the fast lane is open. I've never had a problem, except with stupid morons driving in the fast lane for no reason. The kind that won't change lanes for anything, they make you pass them on the right. I've never killed anyone, I've never lost control, and I know the limits of my car. If you stay alert you can drive fast and not have a problem no matter what moron decides they have to not only do 55 on the highway, they need that bumpy left lane.

I don't "speed"(meaning above my normal 80-90ness) if the conditions are bad or there's heavy traffic. Just be smart, that's all you have to do.

Just because you're in a Protege doesn't mean that you shouldn't drive to the top of 5th(or 4th for you auto-ers). Sometimes you need to feel speed, see how to react at high speed, it'll improve your regular driving exponentially.

And yeah I'll get flamed for this, for sure. I don't really mind and I'll continue to speed no matter if I'm driving my 82hp 323 or our '92 MPV(the cruise control accel feature cuts CC out at 90mph so if you want to go faster you must floor it then reset the CC, and BTW we've had our MPV up to 112+ MPH with 3 people and luggage in it, this out of a vehicle Mazda themselfs listed 110mph top speed for). What if there were no speed limits? No one would be speeding huh? So then it's safe, if there are no speed limits?
 
My P5 was goverened at 132 with the P5 ECU but now hits that stupid governor at 134 with the MP3 ECU. I'm still accelerating when it hits so don't tell me about drag limited. ;)
