well i just got off of work (seting up xmas stuff over night). i am the only one on the road so i thought now would be a great time to open up my car for the first time. wow!!! i can't describe how great it felt. i have never driven a car with such control. i mean i let her fly all the way through 4th and slowed down at about 115 (came to a hill, cops hide behide hills). but i just thought i had to write this on the fourm this ever happen to you guys?
i love this car!

Yea, when I was breaking in the car and doing a lot of highway driving this summer my mileage was amazing. I took a trip to Iowa and made like 33 mpg with the air on for half the drive. But now I'm down at school, and the car's broken in, and my stress relief and entertainment is taking my baby out on some empty farm roads and absolutely thrashing through 'em.
Ahhh it's the best thing in the world. I love my speed... (group)

There is another post on the P5's top speed and it seems that everybodies top speed varies.
My car shuts down at 132 every time in 5th gear at 6000 rpms wile still accelerating and with pedal left. I've only heard of one other person with this same problem. How bout y'all?

i agree! i luv this car too! i've owned a lot of cars and nothing ever made me feel the way the p5 does. i look forward to driving her every morning! to tell you the truth, i haven't had her above 85 in the two and a half years i've owned the car! some day i'll have to visit the track??

I got er up to 185kph but the road ended before I got to max it. Wife was asleep in passanger seat and the back was full of luggage. Wonder if that made much of a diff.
i hit 115 coming back from phoenix, then again on the way back from san diego. man, it's so stable. i definitely chickened out before the car did. it felt like the car had some more left in her, but it was taking forever after 110 for the speed to climb. letting off was a weird feeling since it totally feels like you are on the brakes, but you just let off the gas. can't wait to do it again.
