wow, i thought i was the only psycho getting my TL up to 145 (out ran a state trooper), now i realize its not just me ;-). It's governed at 155mph, still waiting to be able to hit the 155 but since i just got my bumper re-painted after peeling paint i'm going to wait until my clear bra install next month.

I was actually just talking about this. In the TL I've only done 115; it seems to lose it's power after about 110 and starts sloooowwwwiiinnnggg down. My GS-R is a totally different story. The TL would kill it off the line (or so it seems, have yet to test the theory) but after 80 or so the GS-R is pure speed. I've had it to 158 and it didn't take it that long to get it there.

i did notice that after i hit 140 or so you kinda had to coax it to go a little faster. but how can i complain, i shouldn't be doing 2 1/2 times the speed limit anyway!

151 baby bone stock and i could have kept going but i was approaching a turn on the freeway so i decided to slow down. but i think ima go try to do 155 tonight i thought the top speed 152 but i seen some posts at 155 WELL SEEE.

you ever think about trying any of that crap on a track?

sik-yet-slick-TL

theres no tracks that are that long unless u wanna go to the autobahn ussually tracks are for 1/4 mile or lap times not a 5 mile straight to hit the top speed on so till then ima be on the freeway at 2 in the morning but if your scared youll see my bright zenon headlights and you can exit !

I would hope you would be more worried about killing yourself once you lose control of the car.

i know what u mean man but you only live once and u pay 40 grand for a reason double wishbone suspension , traction control,ect. if acura made didnt govern it till 155mph then they know theres gonna be stup asses like me hitting it so you just got trust your driving skills and your car and just goo for it but thanks for looking out.

I am curious if you will still think that if you ever become a vegetable.

I'm sorry for being so harsh.

no disrespect meant.

I am itching to try out my TL... just waiting for a dark empty part of highway to get up to at least 100... hahah the fastest i have ever been is like 105 in my old JUNKER!! HAHAHA (1988 acura integra) (acuras are great! 185,000 miles on a 18 year old integra.. and still running strong) omg so scary never again! now i got my 99 tl, so it will be better.

A lot of speedometers show a higher speed than the car can actually go. I remember when I had a Hyundai Excel that had 140MPH on the speedo. I was lucky to get that POS past 100!

iLL TL

150mph switching lanes like whoa! lol

speedo marked 152mph...RSX type S i was racing was half a car length next
next to me...and no he did not pass me... i guess he topped out but I was dammed if I was going to let a RSX abuse me like that The TL handled very safely and stable with the maneuvers I did... My baby has a heart of a Cobra... except WAAAAAAYYY better looking

The fastest I've had my 3G TL is 115 on a trip to Miami. I got to that speed then quickly decided to slow down. I don't plan on EVER doing that again! I just don't feel comfortable going those speeds anymore when I think about the things that can go wrong.

I recall having my 1990 Accord at an indicated 110 mph for a good stretch of I-75 on my way back home from college a few years back. That was back when I still felt like I was invincible.

Got it to at least 120 mph. 06 TL Automatic.
