for some reason my mind told me to go fast as i can,,,this was around 1 in da morning ,,barely any cars...when i got to 120 i was like fuck this shit iam going on,,,next time i looked at my speed odmeter it was 140...man it was crazy,,kinda scared the shit out of me...i'll tell you'll 1 hting i'm not gonna try it again.,,,,its crazy mann...i'm wondering if you'll have ever done somethting like htis??

 

From all your typo's...Looks like you're still freaking out...I've hit 140 a couple of times...on hwy 290 on the nw. side of houston...didnt stay there long, as soon as i got that fast i let the gas go and coasted for a while...also did that on my Acura Legend a few times, if not mistaken, i think i hit about 144 or 145...You better have alot of faith on your tires..eventhough I've done it..Its a pretty stupid thing to do, especially on stock tires...*never put anybody else's life in danger

I hit 140ish racing a Maxima at 2:30am a while ago, relatively stable although never good to go that fast.

I have done 148 in my type R. I have only gotten the CLS up to 130. Never wanted to go faster than that in this car (suspension feels like it is going to flip). At least that's how it feels after friving the ITR. I was scared shit in that car, I can't image what it must feel like in this one, unless you have springs, and like stated above, better tires.

------------------
Why buy a special edition car and not drive it like it was meant to be driven

 

i gotta agree u wiht on that about flipping,,,it seems like it was gonna flip or slip,,shit was scary man...u gotta have much better tires order to go 140 or more!1

149???? ARE u sure it was 149...i thought it can't go no higher than 144 or somehting in htat range

 

I don't know about flipping, but before i got my springs I could do 130 without even worrying. The day after i installed them, i saw the needle hit 145 and the car felt VERY controlled.

Our cars are limited to 147mph because of the V-rated tires. Despite what your speedometer says, and unless you've screwed with the govenor, you won't be going over 147mph in this car. Keep in mind that speedometers are not 100% accurate. On a deserted stretch of I-8 between San Diego and Tucson I hit 150mph on the speedo. I still never felt the governor kick in, so I must have been doing 147mph or less in actuality. This was on stock suspension and tires
Needless to say, that was my first and only top speed run in this car and perhaps my last in any car. It just wasn't that much fun for me

 

I've onl got it to 130 on I 10 from So cal to tucson.

my fastest was 120... cuz i was racing with a girl in an ITR(black) on I 10. maybe because i was too focus on racing, so i didnt really feel like i was going 120 until, my gf told me to slow down =)
i only have H&R springs, no shocks nor sways and it was on my stock tires too.

 

I've gone up to 180 before.......er, that's 180 km/hr(that's around 112 mph) hahahahaha

 

I've done 145. the acceleration @ that speed is slow though.
wanted to make it to 150, but I had to hit the breaks for the cars half mile a head of me.

i was cruising at around 100mph this morning going SB on 280, and i agree with some people when they say that the car feels like it will "flip." i pushed my old '87 MR2 a little over 110mph about a year ago, and the car felt like it handled the speed better than my CL-S.

What are you talking about?? 100MPH is like walking speed on our cars. I cruise at 100-110 everytime i am on the freeway w/o any problems.

I don't know where some of you guys are getting this flipping feeling at high speed...I do 120 pretty often on I-95 (especially when a bimmer passes me) and the car feels as stable at 120 as it does at 60 - stock everything

I've gotten up to 120 in my CL-S. I don't think I'll ever try to go any faster. However, the car was very stable. I thought I was going a little over 100 until I looked at the speedo and saw 120.

Astro,

from your pic, it clear that there is 1,000 rpm to the cutoff with nice tires and no governor speed limiter, do you think CLS can go faster or is it drag limited?

Thanks,

BTW, I would never want to go some 120+ unless I am on a NASCAR track, wearing a helmet and in perfect weather

I hit 152 mph indicated at 241 freeway with my Accord V6. It was downhill and the car is stock. I didn't feel the speed limiter up to that point.

 

I am suprised you car was only at 5000rpms going that fast.
