How fast have you ever gone in your RX8?

Well on my way home I decided to floored it on my 04 RX8 and it went up to 126 MPH and stopped... I'm wondering if speed limiter caused that. How do you remove that by the way? Also how fast have you ever gone?

AT's do have a limiter. MT's do not. They are limited only by aero drag (about 150 mph).

142 mph but it was on the German Autobahn so it was legal I could have gone faster but I was still getting passed by other cars so I just let up on the gas a coasted a few miles until I got down to about 90mph.

I have gone like 20MPH down my street. Sometimes I even get up to 80MPH on the highway. Matter of fact I am pretty sure I have gone from 0 all the way to infinity and beyond.

Yep....my max on the German autobahn was also around 140 mph Some guys on the German RX-8 forum have posted speeds over 245kmh...around 153mph :-)
If you drive regularly at high speeds you get tend to get used to it. I don't - so around 160-170kmh (100mph) is pretty smooth for me.

Can't wait till Summer to try out my new rims and tires on the autobahn

What a bunch of pussies,you own a vehicle that will reach warp speed and are to scared to enjoy it, may as well sell it and by a neon or civic, geeez, my wife drives mine ,err, ours at 200kmph on a regular basis, its a 'sports" car, give it some stick. Yeah yeah ,theres those that say its dangerous and cant afford the tickets, I'm almost 50 and the wife is 27,you only live once,make the most of it.I've noticed most ppl in this forum prefer to make there ride look pretty,IMO they should be buying makeup instead.
