How fast have you gone in your 8.

So far with my A/T I hit 65, but it started raining, and I have the orginal tires, so i had to slow up a bit. I love the headlights on bright you can see for ever.

Mazda dealerships don't have FBI powers. They're unlikely to identify you from the forums alone, unless you're going to give out a lot of information about yourself here.

Ummmm, I’m not sure how making it up to the speed limit qualifies for an interesting topic for a thread. ??? I've had mine all the way to 57mph.

LOL

I have a speed trap on my way to work (limit drops to 35 on a divided highway 1/4 mile in advance of an intersection, cops sit there all day ticketing people.) I was behind a C6 from out of state the other day and we were both going about 50. Guess who got the ticket . . . I felt bad for him. The cop gunned it to get out behind him and in front of me for the stop. If I had been in the 8 instead of the Sienna, he may have just taken me.
