rx-8 goes 150mph
after i hit 3000 mileage and change oil+filter.
me and my father decided to go LasVegas for *Drive'n*
friday night wait wait wait until midnight comes.
(cuz.. 15N freeway goes crazy on Friday 4Pm to 11PM)
at 2AM midnight. haha ZOOM!
i drove first on LA to VEGAS.
120mph came out easy and so smooth way quieter + smoother than my old 3.2 TL at 120Mph...
it's not enjoyable wid TL on dat speed...
anywayz. on the way to vegas i hit 138mph on downhill and still.. no wind leaking sound or no bump or shake'n.. car goes same as 90 mph..
and it took 2hr 30min/250mile to go vegas from LA.
* ding ding *
~Vegas time~
i won $150. dad won $70 in 1 hour "free gas"
on the way we put full tank of gas "again" and my dad drove on the way home.
yeah.... my dad hit 150mph.. on the way. wuh... woo..
i was sweating and dad was enjoy'n.. ....****... ..
after drive'n 150miles(not 150mph) we got empty gas. so.. put gas again..
take 20 min rest for car. and. took off..
it' took 2hr on the way back home...
drive'n was nice
car was nice.
but. gas...... was.... bitch.....
before 3000miles i drove very very soft.. cuz. it's a new car..
no drag. no speeding at ALL, and change shift before 6k RPM
at that time gas mileage came out 240~250miles wid 13gallon gas.
(it's around 18~19mpg)
and.. this time.. full time rev..speeding..
it came out.. wid 150milles wid full tank..(11~12mpg.)
jesus what should i do.
no speeding wid nice car?
or drive safe + slow + block'n traffic wid good gas mileage .. grrrrrrrrr

I was wondering if anyone had gotten the car to such speeds. I questioned if there was enough power under drag. Very cool, but very dangerous on public roads.

THATS BULLSH*T i know for a fact it goes faster ive gone 145 in my 8, n i was in 6th only doin about 7500 rpms..... i was in my buddys 8 n we did 165 when the buzzer hit in 6th so it can do about 165 u must have the automatic......shouldve gotten the 6 speed.

umm, 7500 rpm in 6th sounds a bit high and im pretty sure redline in 6th is in the 180+ mph range. ive hit 150+ and yes... it took a LONG streight down hill road.
the car felt good but id still want some aero dynamic aid if i was gonna be turning at that speed.
