155mph in my 00'tl and she still had more to go. There was too much play in the wheel so I slowed her back down. But there is nothing like driving on the Autobahn!!!! Once, I was doin 125mph and a Ferrari and a Porshe passed me like I was grandma!!

The other time was on an 04' gsxr 600 175mph and I shot right passed a trooper!! He didn't even bother to hit his lights.......

btw your check engine light looks to be on, tach is dead, and you know if you are the one holding the camera, that that is not the smartest idea (stuff happens fast when you are going that fast)

about your tach first time i watched it, i did not see it moving, and thought it was broken, then i rewatched it and relized it is pointed at like 4,000 or so, then also it is not going to move that much cause you are going so fast and basically have nothing left as far as power goes

"Fastest you've ever been in your TL or other car"

I think I did 95mph in my 1995 Contour that died.

In my 98 TL, 80mph on our 'country road' so far. I'm a safe (BUT NOT BORING) driver No tickets or accidents and I'm 19.

I got smacked by the wife for pushing the (rental C6) vette to 150, and boy was that a quick ride.

Yea, 150 comes on sooo quick in the vette. I hit 140 like nothing on the test drive and I signed the papers for my vette immediately after.

Honestly, my TL feels like a TURD now after getting the vette. I remember when I actually thought it was quick. Everything is relative I guess....

That is impressive for a 99 though

I got up to 154mph in my 2000 3.2TL, at least that's what the speedometer read. That's all stock and a slight downhill highway.

Its a funny story actually, I drove with my mom as the passenger, and the car was LOADED with luggage! When we got to tennesse and hit those hills and valleys, I looked at the speed and it read 107! The only reason It happened was because I was going down hill at 80mph steady, and I guess gravity did the rest, because I didn't give it more gass, and the thing Was hitting the fuel cut-off!
i got a 01 tl with ram air and full exhaust and the fastest i been was 150 dont no how my buddys does 147
