will it reach that speed

Doh! I just looked and can't find it. Instead I saw it in our tire manual. The max speed for a V rated tire is 147. My bad. But I guess it makes sense for Acura to make it speed limited to what the tire can handle. Personally, the fastest I've ever gone is 130. But it was on a 5 lane freeway and NOONE was in front or behind me. I was pretty spooked! I almost thought that it was a speed trap or something.

Done 141 mph in a regular TL... was scary would never ever do it again, the TL was very composed though

I've done about 148 MPH in my TL-S. I didn't hit the speed limiter, but it wasn't pulling hard at all so I just let go of the gas. I said it before and I will say it again...The TL-S does not feel stable after 120 MPH on the stock tires.

I got up to 147 mph in my stock TL a few months ago. And it seems like it's still pulling. It felt pretty composed at that speed if you keep it straight. I did it at 3 a.m. so no one was around.
BTW, I haven't gone that fast since. And now my TL is modded so no need now.

exactly, that's why u gotta change the tires, and drop the car. when i hit the limiter, it felt very strong and the control was great, teh potenza's hug the road and just wont let go.
