Yeah, you probably just opened up a can o worms.
Mine - 130 so far. Felt very good at that speed. Shook like crazy when I slowed down though, the brakes were useless after going from 130 - 70 in a short time. Always reminds me of stopping fast being a big part of going fast. Anyone with the raceconcepts rotors tried to slow down quickly from high speed? I wonder how they hold up.

in the SVX - only 100. pretty smooth, though. in the 928 - 150+, felt like i was going 60 - and i didn't have to worry about braking power

100 so far. Still too worried. Not about the SVX. More about the State Troopers.

around 165 while still automatic against a friend with a amg c36 on a dead higway. He had just bought it used and wanted to try it. He learned that the car was limited at 155mph, but I knew. I heard that other people reached 150 to170 on svx.com! Anyway we stopped on the highway and traded cars and boy did I like to my cars go by like if there was nothing to it. So we went showing off on main street and he baught me a beer.
Viva SVX!!!!! |

300ZX TT's have a Cd of around 0.32. A european member named Sonar has taken his SVX up to 164+ mph on two occasions. Btw, this wasn't measured by his speedo, but on a police radar gun at a special event he was taking part in... One of Sonar's threads is here: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...threadid=19251 -Chike
