My 2LT/RS has reached 110 with surprisingly little effort. Doesn't feel that fast when driving...must be the quiet and smooth ride that makes it feels slower than the speedo reads.

Red Hot SS · 06-25-2009, 08:06 AM

67 mph. Still in break-in period. lol. Even 67 is pushing it for the break in IMO.

Nice numbers! Found a nice open stretch in the nearby desert (paved road of course!) so this Sat is the day when I will test the limit (155 mph). I'll let you know how it goes!

Did 140 on a stretch of open highway at 3am. Hardly feels like 140 to be honest.

I donno about that. I've talked to engineers and they seem to believe getting it up to high rpms for a bit then relaxing it to cool down seats the rings higher. Course that doenst mean you gotta get way up there in speed. Still I tried to keep it under eighty in break in.

I'd comment, but it would most likely get me banned from here.

ndnsith · 06-25-2009, 09:34 AM

I hit 125, and there felt like so much more power to go faster.................

LS3SSRS · 06-25-2009, 09:40 AM

170km/h... so around 110mph?

Embalmer · 06-25-2009, 10:41 AM

111 then i started to run out of road lol. its the complete opposite in nj barely any open roads where i am

?? I live in NC and have family in Mass. Don't think I dropped below 100 the entire way through NJ. Go find a highway bro. =D

SS Mike · 06-25-2009, 06:00 PM

I've had mine up to just 152 before I let off and let her coast back down to normal speeds

Open highway, no traffic, roads were dry, luckily no cops. I just wanted to see what it could do. I had it up to 135 on the wrong side of the road trying to pass a couple cars and outrun someone trying to run me off the road. That was fun. BTW On the wrong side of the road meant a two lane highway with the dashed line allowing me to get over to pass. Long straight stretch, no cars coming. Trust me, it got to 135 before I knew it. I'm not condoning what I did I just don't want anyone to think that I go out everyday and drive like an idiot. Not everyday
