Max out

haha a bridge? thats the worst place to do it! if you wipe out... o man.

but i hit 115 auto : / it took a while

but top speed in 3rd gear can hit 95+

It was a 6 lane (3 on each side) at 1am. I'm deathly afraid of bridges so the less time i spend on them the better!
 
maxed mine out all stock at 125 with four people in the car(took forever to get there) late at night on a long straight a long time ago. it def. had more to go but lacked the power(who knew lol).
 
as said before, if you want to go see how the fast the car goes, take it to the track guys, but the highest a 5-speed can hit is 134. here is proof that it can hit 130 and still has room until the rev limiter.

but as i said again, go to the track guys, if your doing over 100 on public roads you need to think again...

The issue I worry about at that speed is not the road danger, but that fact that the engine is running sustained high RPMs...into the 120s, it takes minutes to climb a few MPH, all the while your engine is screaming. I wouldn't trust her to hold together!
 
no the cruise wasnt really engaged then either, light just doesnt come off unless you switch gears or hit the break i believe

well it actually felt strong up there and didnt feel like anything was gonna fall apart in that rpm range. but the car was still fairly new so everything was mechanically sound on it. like i said it was a long time ago.
 
seriously, if im speeding, i do it alone in the car and on an empty road. If you want to do do stupid things, dont kill your friends with you. It takes nothing at that speed to loose control.

idk if this is referring to myself or not. but like i said it was a long time ago...but thanks for the life lesson. im sure you've never done anything stupid in your lifetime ever.
 
i should have mentioned mine was a 5spd also. I think i had people in the car but dont remember becuase it was when i first got the thing back in 2001

it was not meant to offend you...i just hear so much stories about people speeding and killing people who were with them. And no, i have never put my friends life in danger(fyi, im only 18). BUT yes, ive done stupid things...
 
I'm quite certain I could hit 135+ mph but then again there is no point. Give me a year and I should have 150+ down, not that I'll ever try though.
 
bone stock, automatic p5 maxed at 177km/h (about 110 mph), that was with a long open side road in the county with nobody on the road or in the car with me. and yes, it does take forever to get there!
 
110 on an empty highway in the middle of nowhere. i like the p5 in corners better than a straight line.
