im not talkign about making a sharp turn. if u exceed the tires speed rating while going straight, you should be fine, as long as the tires not rated for 120 and u do 180. the problem happens when u exceed the speed rating and make a slight bend (only a couple degree), thats when the side wall will start to fold on it self. ive learned and seen real live videos of this. done by a professional and on a closed course.

i usually only do about 5 over also unless there is a lot of people going faster, people out on our highways are stupid when its 55 they will do 70 but once it gets to 65 they hardly do the limit, thats when i gotta speed up for a min lol. they do the same thing in consruction zones, they will fly through the fines double zone, then go only like 2 over when the speed goes back up.

Years ago when I was a dumb kid with an 86 Honda Accord DX (auto) I did 123 MPH on the highway. Didn't take as long as I thought it would.
In my 2000 TL (channeling my dumb kid days ) I got up to 120 but I caught up to traffic. I've only done that once though.

125mph in my wife's previous ('93) MX-6 LS V6. That car was fun to drive and was pretty quick in it's day. She felt like she could have pulled up to it's 145 mph governor with no problems. I did it on my way up to Wisconsin (I-94). The car felt like it was glued to the road. In hindsight it was pretty foolish since that strectch of road always has cops.

In mine TL, I've banged out about 100 mph. She felt good @ that speed also. Wasnt shaking or nothing like that. Now I've push a dodge ram 1500 pick-up truck to 120. the ride was crazy being that high up and going that fast.........

hrm, when i was really dumb teenager. i would constantly push my '94 accord lx up to 140. (i would drive to chattanooga from nashville(usually a 2+hr drive) in about 1hr.)
as far as my 03 TL goes, i've hit about 105-110. i get scared to even go that fast anymore. especially b/c i blew $20k on my car this time

Just got one...Let me tell you it blows the TL out of the water in terms of speed and handling. It's so planted around corners and the 4 wheel steering helps sooooo much.
Anyways, I have a 5-6 mile flat paved stretch back road which I use to drive to places (outta the way, but you get hella fast) I got the TL (bone stock, '00 TL-P) to about 135ish before my balls dropped and I pulled back. and the other day I took my new VR-4 out on it and put down 157/158ish before I quickly saw the big turn at the end...didn't wanna try out the 4-wheel steering like that just yet!

Lets see on my 2001 TL-P I hit 101ish, the car doesn't have wheel balance or alignment, so it basically almost fell apart lmfao.
4 days ago I was driving home with a friend from Cedar Point here in Ohio, some biker got cocky so I floored it on my sisters 06' c280 Benz, I got up to 110mph before it sort of started to feel like it was dieing, so I let off plus traffic was picking up.
Fastest car I've ever been in (not driving) was with my brother on his 03' C5 Zo6, he pulled it up to 170mph before he had to let off do to heavy patch of traffic.

Got my 94 Accord to 135+ pretty quickly. But its got VAFC, intake, exhaust, header, cat, cam gear, fpr, pulley, MSD goodies, and full suspension. Was very smooth at those speeds.
My stock 03 TL-S has only been 110+ cuz I had to show a riced out lude that he wasnt shit.

135 in my 99 tl-p when it was completely stock. Also there was lots of luggage in the back, two people in the car, and the ac was on. It was on a really long stretch of highway at 3:30 am so I was the only car for miles. Now with my CAI, no a/c on, and no luggage I could probly go 140, but im definately not going to try anytime soon.

Before I got my own car, I used to drive my mom's minivan around. We had two: a '94 Nissan Quest GXE and a '99 Toyota Sienna CE. I've topped out both of those cars on the 60 freeway going East towards Riverside.
'94 Nissan Quest GXE (3.0L V6 151HP) - Maxed out @ 105. The result was not great. Melted a piston.
'99 Toyota Sienna CE (3.0L V6 190HP) - Maxed out @ 110. The motor/engine had a faint, burnt smell after. Engine was overheating.

When I got my '03 TL-S, I was chasing my friend in his '99 Honda Accord V6 Coupe on the 210 Freeway heading East. I was doing 125 and I could've gone faster but my friend suddenly merged out to another lane to try and avoid the car in front of him. Right when he merged out.. I was approaching the car in front of me a fast rate of speed, so I quickly merged out and slammed the brakes. The brakes failed, ABS didn't kick in yet. That was the scariest moment in my life. I'm glad I have great control over the car.

I live really far from Riverside (about a 40-50 minute drive) from where I live. Whenever I go there to pick up my sister from UCR, I decide to mess around, switch lanes, weave in and out of traffic for fun. And there was a truck that cut me off.. so I chased after it and I could only do 105 and he was doing way more than that in his truck. After I slowed down, I hear a loud ticking/clicking like sound from the engine bay. It was real bad. I guess I really put alot of stress on the engine.
