here is the picture it shows 154 mph, but we hit 156 mph. It was also for a few miles too not just a few seconds.

how come in the background, everything is still? also, why is the RPM gauge still at 55K, wouldnt the engine be topping out at the redline or somethin?

What size tire/wheel combo were you guys running? If you're on a small combo the speedo is off.
My 99 TL has stock rims and slightly oversize tires, but it still registers 3 or 4 mph faster than actual speed at about 70 MPH (according to those radar guns they set beside the road to remind you to slow down.)

My (100% stock) 99 TL was clocked at 154 on an airplane manufacturers runway here in CA, clocked using lasers all along the runway, top 154, accel was clocked at 6.3seconds, 0-60.

The RPM's don't top out at the final gear....this is what controls you from blowing your engine since in the other gears it just shift to the next, not the same case for our final gear.
Trust me my foot was all the way to the floor on the pedal, it just doesn't go any further.

I doubt it Bigman
but they noticed that the car seems faster than normal at the dealer, they blamed it on the previous owner breaking it in at high speeds and high revs.. car drinks a LOT more fuel than 'factory stated' as well... i often get 14mpg on city driving.
