I just got my TL a couple weeks ago. Love IT!!! Anyhow, my roommate and I went to max it out. We have this stretch of road that is just straight and no change in elevation. It's about 1.25 miles or so, probably at bit longer. Just right before I hit the breaking marker. I saw the speedometer hit "145" mph. Not shitting ya. The car is stock. The car was weighted down a bit, had myself (180 lbs) and my roommate is (170 or so). Damn, i was amazed, let me tell you. And I live in Boulder, the air is a bit thin. I've gone faster on my bike of course, but it's still cool to see a stock car go this fast. Have anyone else try topping there TL out? What's the speed? I don't know if this kinda thread have been posted before, if it has, sorry!

fsttyms1

ive done 154 in mine

RiceRocket

Damn dude, 154, when does the speed governor kick in?

fsttyms1

supposed to be 151 but its a little lazy, i was clocked by a cop (who is a friend)

Ken1997TL

145 is definitely possible. My '97 when it was stock did about 145.

bacardi151

VTEC 3rd gear kicks ass.

Hurleysurf24

yea but you hit 4th and its like a brick wall ... i hit 130 and coulda kept going but i was pulling away from the pace car hehehe vw gti (limited at 133ish)

spl1011

Damn. Wish I knew a stretch of good road near Fort Walton I would let this puppy wind up!

JimmyTLS

bumski667

wow...you guys like to play with death...

Hurleysurf24

yes, yes we do rollseyes NOOB

Ken1997TL

Well, in my case it was on a closed course. I don't do stupid crap like that where others can get hurt.

1fasttl

151 every thursday coming back from hooters in pasadena on the 210w in sunland.

o3TLson19s

i've seen 145 about 3 or 4 times i wish it was faster but im scared of the cops! i let my girl drive the first time she got in the driver seat she did 135 racing a turbo eclipse and beat him !!! it was like an 80mph- till lol!! he even came up on us and i just told her step on it!! she did and slowly got him and pulled it made my night!! that same night i let her abuse what appeared to be an 00-01 tl. . sorry, and also beat a Gs400 on 20's i was like what !! my girl driving, and it was a guy driving his girl around haha !!!

RiceRocket

Dude, my roommate who races a '03 R6, he top his bike out at the same stretch. The speedometer said 182 mph. With the corrected speed, cause the speedometer on the bike is off about 7% or so. Actual speed is 170. Yeah...that's crazy. The fastest I've gone was 170 indicated...so around 160 mph, on two wheels.

RiceRocket

We did it at 2 am. There was no one on the road. We were safe.

shawn744

yeah, that is FUCKED up.....i mean, i wouldn't trust the tires if nothing else......i've taken my TL to about 118, and the marauder to the same.....i think i even have a pic of it gettin there.....

jayhawk815

Just a little insight, but don't believe everything you see a speedometer show. Speedometers are notorious for being inaccurate the faster you go, especially when getting to one's upper limits. Also, at least according to a couple of reputable car mag's, even radar is known to have some faults in accuracy (too bad the judge didn't agree).

fsttyms1

thats not a picture, this is a picture did this on a trip to florida most of the gas gone was due to the speed

shawn744

wtf.....138mi on less than half??? goin 120 must kill ur milieage......or u were goin 120 fer a second....

Bareback

You were going 120 and you didn't even have you belt on? Man your are just playing with your life!

fsttyms1

i got 200 to the half at that speed

like it would make that much of a difference at that speed, and yes it was on, the sensor in the belt reciever was bad. i had to have it replaced.

fla-tls

I don't think a seat belt is really going to help that much if you hit something at 120.

Nevertheless, he should still wear it.

Bareback

You'd be surprised, yes even at that speed a seat belt can make the difference of losing your head or keeping it on. I work in hospital and man some of the stuff I see would make you sick.

To each there own....

Way to do a buck-twenty without a seat-belt... This picture is either edited, or you are playing with death...

-M

PS: I wrote this before realizing someone already said it- nonetheless, can't remove it now. A buddy of mine edited a picture... it looked about the same (no seatbelt) , but the other flaw was that it was in park *smirk*.

bumski667

yea..if you're doing at a closed course, it's okay, but if you're doing it on the street or on the freeway, someone it will get around to you...like this morning...big accident at 3 in the morning right by my house..the car that seemed to be at fault was a all riced out civic...other car...plain o jane going to work or something...sad...just keep it safe is what i'm trying to get at...

car_lost

what does your TL look like? that way if i see it on the street, i can stay away from you two retards.

WiLLs TypE S

If I remember correctly a vette was going about 130mph in las vegas...and lost control and hit a truck...the guy flew outta the window...because he didn't wear a seat belt...all he suffered was minor cuts and bruises. So yea...just to show you if you are a risk taker...go all the way...I say screw the seat belt after 110mph.

bigman

ive been well pass 135 in the TL. But i was paying attention more to the road than to my speedo. I have hit 157 in my Trans am already, and the car kept pulling.

WiLLs TypE S

Oh and I hit around 145 mph...when I was trying to catch up to my friend's supra...unfortunately it didn't happen.

@cUr@-TL

is your trans am stock?


btw i hit 145 in my TL and it was still pulling but there was a curve comming reaaaaal fast so i slowed down. it'S amazing how stable the car feels even at those speeds!!

MADCAT

Done 175 Km/H. during the Acura Meet....the other guys went faster.

z3Ro

ive done up to 154ish on the freeway...trying to reach 160 or over mayb?...lol...i just need to realign since i just got my sports springs...so in bout a week or 2 ill try again kuz theres been cops around here like CrAzY...

bigman

just an air lid that dynoed about 10 horses.

RiceRocket

175 "KM/H"......That's like 110 MPH. When you hit 233 KM/H, that would be cool

1fasttl

Last year a friend of mine had a 99TL that was fully modded and we hit 157 on the new stretch of the 210E going to montclair.

RiceRocket

Damn, I need to break the 150 mark!

darkfox12

1fasttl do you have a white tl w/ rims and a body kit?

darkfox12

Because ive raced 2 tl's on that freeway to sunland before.

nayyarn

Damn those speeds are pretty damn fast. I have never hit speeds like that in my TL. I give you all props. But, speed is not my forte since my bad accident in with my moded 96 Accord in 01 right before I bought my TL. I will have to try it one day at the track. Be safe guys and keep on "TLing".
