The speed governor is different on the 2nd gen TL's 
But hey, anything over 130 mph is FAST in my opinion

Well, I gone to the 120 mph mark. I was thinking just to go to 110 but a clear road ahead was too tempting. I love this car!!! It is so smooth even at that speed. I remember any other car, that I have driven, will start shaking after 100 mph. You got to have a TL

The car could have handled a little more, but it was kinda tricky holding the steering wheel with one hand and the camera with the other while passing a bunch of 18-wheelers (upper right hand corner).
Tip: Not recommended. But just in case, make sure your tires are properly inflated.

Yeah, I just went up to Boston with some friends this weekend, I was cruising around 95-105 and neither one noticed. I've got a bent rim that shakes the steering wheel up above 70 though 
I was talking about it with my girlfriend though, and she is up to taking a picture of me going as fast as I want...

for me, about 120 on one of the few pothole-free sections of the dc beltway- was only a mile or so- eased right up there too.... no race car, but surprisingly stable at that speed, wouldn't want to go much faster in it tho haha

I've gotten mine up to 110-115. I was more amazed at how fast I hit that mark from 80. Two downshifts on the Autoshifter and I was gone baby!! My B16 civic ain't got nothing on my TL!!

monday night on my way back from irvine along highway 91 i got it up to about 125mph.. although the car was shaking like crazy at that speed (but it couldve been the shitty southern california roads), but around 110 or so it was perfectly smooth 
i have a 2.5TL... i couldve gone faster than 125 but i was running out of road cause of the cars in front of me and a huge turn was coming up

I got a 98 2.5 TL as you would have guessed. I've gotten mine up to 110, but i was just playing around, not really pushing it. i expect from the way it was acting it could get up to 130 maybe. i was running 33-34 psi at the time on stock rims and wheels. It ran very smoothly even at 110.

On Southen Cali. freeways I find myself going 90mph way too much...especially after 12:00am. The fastest I have gone was in my old 01 Accord V6 when this girl in a new Mercedes Benz C Class with its overly talked about Kompressor engine with paper plates thought she was so cool trying to tease me with a little race going uphill on the West 210 freeway after we both got out of Pasadena City College with her new $40K car. She received the shock of her life when my $ 25K Accord burned the s*** out of her Benz as we both floored it going uphill. She got stuck at about 125mph...my VTEC beauty had no problem hitting 135mph leaving her way behind. Being a small world about a week later we bumped into each other on campus and she's like..."were you the one that raced me with a white Accord last week?" Im like..."if you were driving a new Mercedes... yes...that was me" Then she goes...you modified the engine huuu?...I go nope...my car is automatic and all stock. We both had a good laugh and I ended up telling her...never underestimate the power of a Honda V6 engine.

I think i was doin 115 on a highway with other cars? Yeah another reason why I love this damn car, it handles GREAT at high speeds, feels like your flying.
EDIT: California-USA, awesome story haha
I raced a 98-like escort the other day, i was thinking "whats the matter, cant pass 95?" haha
