How fast will the SH-AWD TL go????
So,,,,, I will admit that I took my 305 HP 2010 TL, SH-AWD up to 125 MPH . But the real question is what is the TOP rated SPEED for our car?

So this is an on board computer chip limiting the top speed?

That's cool that you have a track you can go to and take your car up to 125.

It moves out from 80-110 as fast as anything needs to. If you've got need to go beyond that - you probably want to shop something less than a 5000lb AWD tourer.

Be careful. My top all time highest speed was 130 mph in my 911. It was not on the track and I was an IDIOT for doing it. Even though I was following a more experienced 911 driver on a long slow downhill with 2 miles of visibility, I will never do it again. For the most part it was really frightening, and on top of that I put my faith in an 11 year old car, but far more importantly, I could not control the environment. My words of wisdom are: If you want to max out your car…Go To the Track!

The 6MT feels like a totally different car compared to the AT. It really goes to show what can happen when you have a different geared transmission. Will be interesting to see if the 6AT makes it to the 2012 and how that changes things.

^^Petec is right. The car is deceptively fast. It is so smooth and quite when you're just motoring around, but when you get on it, things happen right now. And that sound. Love it.

yea I am also curious to see how much faster it will be with a 6AT. But even a 14.1 quarter mile is plenty fast for me.

Precisely. Besides cramped accommodations it doesn't take advantage of more ponies....can you say horsepower mismanagement.

I don't get where you guys go to drive 100+ MPH. I'd be scared shitless...probably good since I'm 17.

Hope you all have radar detectors and such.

You are not alone. I gave up the radar laser detector as I'm stuck in stop-n-go rush hour traffic most of the time anyhow.
