Back when I had 3.42's for gears, I managed to hit 6300 RPM in 5th. By the gear calculator I was doing 196. I'm not sure if it really was that fast, but I am confident it was well over 180. I have a HUD I will be installing this year that will show the speeds after my speedo is pegged to give me an accurate speed for next time.
BTW, it was in my Z in my sig.

Shoot, I remember for a while where I would hit 150 MPH on a weekly basis on a lonely stretch of interstate late at night. I haven't gone that fast in a while though. I really liked the high speed stuff but haven't done much since I've moved to NJ.
A year later I'm still fixing damage from that one.

I wish i could do those speeds. Everywhere i go theres cops, an i too live in a pretty urban area. A buddy of mine was caught doing 186kmh in a 100kph zone, he lost his liecence for a year an had to pay upwards of a grand, so i havent been doing to many top speed runs

Sometimes you have to pay to play. From experience, if anyone is planning on doing any high speed runs, I reccomend doing it on a dyno that has that option, or even a high speed track. Either of these will keep you legal. If you are more for a little risky driving, you need to find somewhere that is safe. Meaning, no cops, no traffic, safe straight long roads, no forest areas (for deer reasons). Just some advice.
