130, that was a while ago though. Ever since my car lost control and did a 180 on I-495, I never went past 70 anymore

Oh yea, 145-147 B-Line. And at 130+ the car just plants itself and it feels like u are riding on rails.

6 month bill on my 2003 TL-S = $ 1119.73
6 month bill on my 2003 CL-S = $ 990.25
Can you believe this fucken State Farm. I can't figure out why there is 129.48 difference. I don't think they know either. We have no accidents or tickets.

okay - I've done 122 in the Gold flash (kinda hard to hide anywhere and they see you for miles in every direction), didn't want to keep pushing it. Fastest ever was 142 in my 5-speed 91 Legend Coupe - the only car I really miss bad. All they had to do was drop a nasty V-8 in there and Acura could have been playing with the real big boys. Instead they go 2.3CL WTF?

fastest I went was 120mph in my 96 Galant on 95N just outside Boston. The car did not feel stable and it took forever to get there! I was tryign to hang with a buddy of mine in a chipped A4 and needless to say he was out of sight by the time I hit 120. He told me later that he had hit the governor @ 130.

I've done 115 in the TLS a few times and the car feels stable and like it wants more!

I have hit the limiter more times than most of you have gone over 100 I bet...



Adam and I have driven flat out the entire way from Detroit to Barrie on more than one occasion...

with my suspension and wheel mods my car sits planted like a slot car over any bumps, imprefections or curves even at Flat out speeds above 140MPH...

Astroboy, That doesn't look safe going around 150 in -5 degree temperature!!! Weren't you afraid of hitting black Ice or something? Even on a clear day I'd be afraid.

i didnt know what he was going to farm the empy lot until he went right it-- i wouldnt plan on doing that EVER again.. fuck

Ballz award winner. I've gone maybe 120 in my TLP, and about 90 in my CLS (not broken in yet). Who took the pic? If you did you have now surpassed Donovan McNabb on my personal big ballz scale.

:pee: I am a sissy...hehe!!! :wackit:

BTW, I hate the Eagles!!! That was in no way a plug for Donovan or his faggy team. I simply think it was amazing that he played an entire game with a broken fibula (and threw 4 touchdowns). GO JETS!!!

It sounds to me that u got ru CL and TL quotes mixed up. I know that 4 doors are cheaper in insurance than coups.

Either that or ur wife drives the CLS.


$990.25 every 6 months, thats all seniors get? Gees sounds like the 'man' is really cracking down on elderly driving ... j/k .

Same here I hit the revlimiter in 4th and never redlined that gear.
And people complain that 4 is a dead gear. I agree but they haven't taken that get passed 140. At that kinda speed the thing just pulls, u really feel VTEC.

this is true, i used to think 4 was a slow gear, but when you get up to speed and hit vtec in fourth it gets a little scary!

The fastest I've ever gone was in my 1995 Integra -> 135mph on the PA turnpike, downhill, trying to catch my friend in a CBR600 F3

He told me he hit 155mph

Let me tell you how scary it is to do that speed on a car that weighs nearly nothing. I swore my car was floating.

if your ever traveling at top speed and see cops. DONT SLOW DOWN. hahhaa.

ive been there and done that... thankfully from Barrie into Toronto the highway has a nice long concrete divider. i made the ~30 mile trip in something under 12 minutes with Robb on my tail in the S2000. The cop never stood a chance. hahaha

137MPH on I10 from AZ to CA.. the day I picked it up from the dealer. Would have kept going but wife got nervous

Whoever said the car dies at 120 MPH is insane... it was over 80 degrees driving home and the car was still pulling at that speed.

I've hit the rev limiter a couple of times. The car can get there pretty quick, when you start hitting upper revs in 4th.

I've had it up to 135mph on our I-17 here at dawn on a Sunday. I picked my buddy up at the airport and he wanted to see what the car had in it so I showed him. The thing was stilling pulling pretty good. How fast will a CL-S6 go anyway?

i've only had it up to 148, with a screw in my tire i think. i tried again sometime later and got it up to 130 because i chickened out knowing that i had a patch in each front tire. if i had wrecked out in bonneville, i believe that noone would have been around to help me. i'm gonna go out and play agian when i get new tires.
