ive reached 135 at the most, but this car can hit 155? How long would you have to floor it to reach speeds like that?

146 in my RX-8 Shinka in 6th. I did it on very deserted highway at 3am and slowed down because I saw a deer.

and I thought it was a cop.

I don't know if its stock but heres someone doing 165 on a road.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz-QmlPXoD4

The stock renny can't push through the tranny's 6th gear, but I heard from a guy with a turbo that you bounce off redline in 6th at 172.

153mph more than a time or two

120 comes easy/quick, 135 is a lil wait, 145 takes forever, and waiting to break 150 i grew a beard.... but it'll get there

That's one reason for an electronic speed limiter interlock.

The stock Dunlop 8090 is ZR rated (149 mph).
