Hit just under 130.
How fast have you got your P5?

With 205/45/16s, did 125, how fast is that w/ the speedo corrected?
The sidewall in relation to the tread width is what makes a difference, I have 205/45/16 and the car came with 195/50/16 stock. This means that if my speedo reads 100mph, I'm actually going 98.26mph because the tire has a -.42" difference in overall diameter (23.68 stock vs. 23.46 mine).
It's actually 122.79mph.

My train of thought has been kickin' into old fart mode time-to-time and I'm only 20! (Being a soon-to-be-daddy really affects me) But, I did my 135 months before the soon-to-be-daddy part of my life and even then I'd watch where I'd do my racing, or crazy driving. I did this on a small highway where it was pretty much dead late at night(one or two cars every hour, or so) and it created a border for a city that is just starting to grow. It was the perfect place to do all of this and no one knew, no one. But, now, it's a tollway....no more "cruisin" for me and my friends there now.
re: tire size changes, here's a quick 'n easy calculator to figure teh actual diamter w/ changes in sidewall ratio and width

from there it's just a ratio of what you have now verses what it was stock, apply this to your speed.

Hahaha- no whistle! That's great.
I hit 105 once on 95 in NC in my MP5. That's the fastest I've gone in this car.
The fastest I've ever gone was 130mph in my 9 year old 944 (back in 1992). That was at 2am on a deserted highway.
i got my 03 p5 to 112-115...don't really remember exactly how fast i was going. just have the mazdaspeed exhaust on there, i'm sure that didn't add or take away too much at all...
on the way back i got pulled over going 102 in a 75 zone, had i been going 3 mph faster, the cop said he would have arrested me on the spot, no questions asked. boy was i happy i wasn't going 105, hehe. although, i still had a $300 speeding ticket i had to pay...

140 with 215/40/17's...that's 140 km/hr
Edit...210 km/hr...ran out of road...caught up to some cars pretty quickly.
This was done at 0130 hrs on a road with absolutely no traffic...well, until I caught up it...:mad:
Probaby could've reached 211 or even 212...(freak) nah, maybe even 220...
Custom Intake/Tsudo Header/Magnaflow Cat-Back...
wondering how much faster I could go with a cat-less midpipe...(scratch)

damn I guess my 64 in a 45 is expensive as hell compared to yours! I paid 250 for that ticket and thatswith goign to traffic school!
The fastest i've gotten mine up to when I only had CAI and exhaust was 127 but given the 18/45/225 's it closer to 135ish..
I hit 140 on my bike when i was playing with this little Honda Accord who thought he was tuff s*** lol I just waved at him at 110 and left him standing hahahaha.

Before turbo, I had mine up to 209Km/h and it just plain wouldnt go any faster. Drag limited. Since I boosted I didn't push it in 5th, but got the the top of 4th in a DAMN hurry!

I'm still picking up speed when I hit that governer (that doesn't exist as I'm told).
