Hi from England

seen your speeds in USA, not bad for freeway style driving where you have 242 lanes and miles of straight roads

In dear old Devon, England we don't have freeways or as we Brits call them Motorways, here we have small roads usually covered in cow !Removed! and mud with bends and hedges and walls a foot from the car

This means we sometimes slow down a bit

But just so you can see what it is like in the green and pleasant quiet countryside of England, here is a clip my son uploaded to youtube of him and his mate in his Cosworth 4x4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVfHZHPb8iE

If you listen to the talking he actually peaked 5mph above what he said

And there is a classic line just near the end where he was pulling up near home which I love

Enjoy a Brit driver

135 MPH on I-95 south in Massachusetts back in 1993 while on my 1988 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10. They had recently paved the road with virgin hot top. Throttled down when I felt the front end unweight as I went over a small ridge. :o

In my 1998 GS400, I haven't had any fun above 90. :(

I've had both my LS400 and my GS400 up to 153-154mph...odd seeing as they are supposed to be governed to 149! Don't know how accurate the speedos are.

The GS still had some coming on but I was approaching traffic....crazy how it only shifts into 5th gear at 140mph!!!

2006 SL500 160mph on I-5 to VEGAS..smooth ride

(The speedometer only goes to 160, so we may have gone even faster)

1998 GS400 130mph on San Mateo-Hayward Bridge in SF Bay Area...very smooth ride and dead straight and level.

'67 Chrysler 300 with a 440, had the 120mph speedo buried and still accelerating.

'84 merc-Benz 300SD(turbodiesel), had up to 100mph, pretty much topped out. Maybe another 5 mph left.

'99 GS300, hit 120 mph and let up(my wife was screaming at me :angry: )

2001 GS430 vs. 06 350Z (6-Speed).. from 55-150+(quit looking) I pulled atleast 2 lenghts on the Z. I would assume around 155. Very amazed at the power of this car and the way it continues to pull at high speeds. I have been impressed ever since. Still don't keep up with the good old Corvette powered Buick.. tehehe

P.S. Sorry to all you Nissan guys who are having your 350Z and such, out ran with 4 door luxury cars coming out of the same country.

01' GS430, whilst racing an 03' S500, i managed to pull on him, and proceed to slowly walk away from the MBZ. I looked down, i was doing 155mph, and at this time i passed a Tahoe going almost 3 times their speed, so i decided that i should slow down, expecting the Benz to come by me, never saw him again...

My car shifted into 5th gear at 152mph.

OK, I'm going to show my age here...

In 1990 I took my 1989 Honda CBR600F up to 145. Do motorcycles count? Anyway, that was a rush. No room for errors and the front end became very twitchy even though I was fully tucked. In about 1995 I took my 1986 Porsche 944 turbo up to 150. The car was like "cool, this is what I do" and just blazed along almost effortlessly.

2006 350z vs crotch rocket = 157mph on a bumpy @$$ texas interstate (I beat the crotch rocket, probably cuz the guy was not wearing a helmet, and I doubt he could see)

Back Passenger on a Honda Blackbird CBR 1100 = 155mph

145mph on I 91 in Vermont returning from skiing in my 1994 Audi urs4 with a TAP chip, and HR suspension. Rock solid and handled like a Lexus does at about 100. After cruising for a bit at 135 I chickened out becouse I figured someone that I passed would call the state troopers via cell phone. When I hit the exit two troopers were in the road stopping traffic. I about had a heart attack figuring that I was about to have some splaining to do. Turns out that a snowmobile had crossed into traffic and got tagged.

I have a GS430 and I am actually afraid to take the car up much past 100, the car is in stock form and does not feel like it would like a corner. If I did a few suspension changes it would be no problem. The Audi is way more fun than any Lexus until you start fixing it. I have owned 6 of them and they all cost money after you put some miles on them.

125 a couple months ago with my boss in the car.

129 last fall on a deserted part of a state highway.

135 on a sportbike. I realize many have gone faster on their bikes, so I qualify this with the fact I wasn't wearing a helmet and it was during rush hour on I-35 in Kansas City. One lane change by a cage and it'd been over.
