Let's get back on topic, does anyone know the fastest they've seen any other BRZ/FR-S/GT86 go? I haven't seen faster than 135 yet.

There's actually a video of somebody doing 153 mph. Gonna try and find the video.

EDIT:sorry it was 147

That's absurd, and it took forever. Likely downhill too. My new goal is 170.

I have only been up to 126MPH. I think I was on a track.....right?
Anyway, there is a dyno speed test that shows redline in 6th is 169MPH. Of course you don't have the resistance but it was still pretty cool.

106 (170kph) on track - so no law breaking there!

Would have been quicker but kept stuffing up the sweeper into the front straight as I'm not a very good driver!!!

I hit 80MPH a few times, but only because I was on roads that had a 70MPH speed limit and in Georgia 10 over is usually fine on the interstate.

I'm not an asshole that is trying to kill myself or someone else, so I won't go any faster than that on a public road. (Unless of course I'm on that 85mph highway in Texas in which case I would do 85)

I'm secretly hoping that posted 85 will prove to be contagious and other highways will catch it

I actually have

Got pulled over in that '00 Civic one night for a minor speeding infraction(57 in a 45, speed zone changed from 55) and the cop immediately started asking me how much I enjoyed the car because he has a silver '99 Si. During our conversation he asked what was the fastest I've gotten it up to and I told him, because as the others have said, you have to be seen by a cop breaking the law. Video however is different. A cop watches the video, they can come get you. Happened to that Lamborghini guy in Arizona I believe.

Agreed. I'm pretty sure they eventually still have to prove you actually shot somebody in the face...

Something to think about...
I was doing 198mph in a school zone... hold on a sec there's somebody knocking at my door.

I managed at least 115 on the front straight at Willow Springs. I was still accelerating but wasn't looking at the speedo since I was watching for my braking point.
