140's my top on my winter setup, and i may never try that again considering how the car feels...intake, headers, CT springs and stock shox, sways, Pilot Sport A/S's mounted on stock rims were the mods at the time

car felt like it was lifting off the ground from about 135 and up...but at 120, car felt solid as a rock

time and location: Dec '02 on I95 in Connecticut

145 a couple of times in an '03 CL-P. It seemed to take a while at first but v-tec in 4th gear is kinda scary when the car starts pulling again . Sorta like it wants to keep going and going. I could only imagine what the difference is in a type S.

ANY TYPE-S OWNERS WANT TO VOLUNTEER YOUR CAR FOR ME TO DO A HIGH SPEED TEST !! jk.

Same here. 80-100 is my comfortable zone.
There’s too much that can go wrong at 100+ speeds and they all end up with the driver becoming a customer of Smitty's.

hey 80 - 100 ain't no picnic either...and since there hasn't been any formal crash test results from any governmental/independent agencies, it's anyone's guess how realistically safe our cars r

I know what you’re saying. Even a rollover crash at 60-70 can easily be fatal.
But if you have a blowout or hit an obstruction in the road at 140MPH yer pretty much a GONNER !!!

Remember that post where the CL-S was racing in CA and struck an SUV that turned in front of it? That was at like 75mph and that car was freakin' wasted...If you hit something solid over 85mph, I'd say you are 6 feet under...

That being said, I've hit 135mph or so with a Passat W8 in chase. We went back and forth for a good 15 to 20 miles on 95s near Ft. Pierce. I can say the car feels stable at 115-120mph, but after that it seems a bit too squirrelly for my tastes...

Yeah, but with a full cage and some 5 point harnesses under "closed track conditions" I might not be such a wimp

What's that disclaimer on the car commercials ?? "professional driver on closed track... please don't try this at home..." or something like that.

If I was going 140 and a cop had me on radar and he was stopped...I would just keep going. It would take forever for him to even catch you. Not many cops are gonna get their crusiers up that fast. In the 7-8 seconds it would take him to get to 60mph...you would already be 1/2 mile ahead of him. Just hope there is an exit somewhere up their close so you could jump off.

I'll confirm that thought. On two occasions Ive blown past cops. 1st time on the Cross Island doin about a buck and a quarter. A 1.8T GTI was try to race me and I had him by 6 or 7 cars (we were in traffic, not straight line race) The cop came out and put his lights on I went around a bend and hit the next exit I saw (thank god for navi) and no lights followed.
2nd time was on Rte 231 heading north from montauk hwy. I flew past him at probably 130 or so and he didnt even flinch.

Thats tru, but if you dont get a plate number theres nothing to radio... It was night time no shot of getting a good look at the plate from the side of the road. I'm not saying I hung around and stayed on the same road, I took off and took the backroads. Made sure I stayed away from the area for a few days.

You may get away on other roads however you don't know ocean beach pkwy here on the Island. At some areas its basically just a flat 2 lane High way divided in the center my a large median filled with brush. If he was to get tagged going there it would be real hard to get away. Also the troopers that patrol there have Stangs and Camaros.
