So as a member 13 year member of public safety here is my opinion:
While it may be cool that your Honda Accord can do 155mph- doing it on a public road way is just plain and simple: stupid. Ive seen the end result of 100 plus MPH crashes. Endangering the lives of others to see the top speed of your car is asinine ( not implying that was you). Now that video you cannot tell if they were on a closed track or not, but taping with your phone + doing 155mph- even more irresponsible. Hopefully that run was done on a closed road.
I'd hate to see anyone lose their life over something so trivial.

After all the hysteria my question seemed to provoke....
A few observations here:
Nuff Said.
- THANK YOU Mr. McFarnam, for answering my question without judgment, moralizing or acting the pompous Know it All.
- To assume that I don't get it regarding Turbocharging vs Naturally Aspirated Engines, I started playing with turbocharged cars in the 70's when 911 Turbos delivered power like an On/Off switch and Saab Turbos were thought to be quite powerful due to producing 135hp. Not to put too fine a point on it, I was carrying a rifle and getting shot at for a living before you were in Pissy Pants. PS, I also sold tires for a living when I was in graduate school.
- Talking about dick swinging contests (after having just read all the posts in this thread) suggests the need for a mirror.
- Finally, I am a wordsmith and I write for a living. All the effort put into being "Witty" with comments and insults could be put to better use answering people's questions.
Nuff Said.

how is everyone else hitting 135 in their TL?
Maybe I'm driving an auto and its the heaviest TL they have (AWD Adv.) but I'm on the same boat as OP my car while in 6th (can't even go down to 5th) will not go faster than 120ish
