Apparently LLJAY2k the dumbass from the other thread goes 150+ all the time. Hrm. We should all hang out with this guy, he's the ONLY person anybody knows about that has seen a hatchback SVX, and the ONLY one out of all of us that can go over 150.

I got mine to 127 mph on a backroad near Carlsbad, not the California one but the "Cavern" one. I was still accelerating slowly but my wipers (they were in the 'winter' position) started lifting off the windshield. That freaked me out pretty bad so I shut it down.
Also went through a cattle guard at 120 mph. Didn't know it was there when I started..... |

Hit 135 mph while showing a new Celica how top speed is supposed to be done. Then I saw smoke, and decided that maybe I should slow down.
I just pulled an average of 105 mph on I-5, from LA to the middle of nowhere, near Kettlemen City. Grrr, I hate how fast I can go in that car when I really want to.... |

126mph the other night in Platteville WI. I ran out of road, it was still accelerating. There was a right turn ahead of me so I had to slow down. The 55mph speed limit dropped down to 25mph; I was doing 84mph.

Had mine between 230-235 kmh and then the plastic bug deflectotor the PO had put on the front of the hood decided it could no longer keep up with the car and came off. It spooked me and I slowed down. I still felt the car had about another 10kmh in it and it was still running smooth. Unfortunately I sold the car before I had another chance to try top speed.

good day all, just came back from vacation. I'm happy to see that there is finally another member in Quebec but sorry to read that he is already B.S. me for my post. Anyway, some believe it some don't. All I care is that everybody should drive safe ( as often as possible)!! MY car is a 06/91, as for mods, everything is in my locker. they probably helped to reach that speed (165). Anyway, don't try to challenge me to do it in front of you anymore 'cause the car is in pieces right now. Tranny swap and paint, it's gonna rest for winter I guess. For all I know some cars are faster and some slower. But its all too fast........
p.s. tranny and tcu for sale, post me. |

My guess is that different cars have speedometers which vary in the story they tell which again varies according to who is doing the reading. Further more we must accept than there was one hell of a tail wind blowing on some occasions.
