i dunno his car does not look like an se, unless he took the spoiler off, and switched to the same size wheels. but buddy the GXE and the GLE both were governed at 125.

in my max i hit 130. after that it is a slow go. in vero beach flordia some of the streets are like 4 miles long. and so flat you can see the blinking light at the end. so you know if anyone is comming. but i hit 130 and got scared and backed off.

yo manual maxima i check your car out at cardomain.com i like that rear view mear where did you get it dont get the bory kit get the pulley kit

[300zxboy]

thats body kit not bory kit sorry

[ManualMaxima]

it is made by a company called type s. they make alot of rice stuff, but i liked the mirror. i bought it at auto zone for $12. it takes awhile getting use to but once you are i cannot drive without it.

the muffler is comming next. i am getting one for free. then it will be the pullies. do the pullies make a noticable differance?

your grand prix topped out at 110 because all cars mads in the us are required to have a speed limiter programmed into the pcm, it wont allow you to exceed 110, but it can be easily removed by any pcm servicer

I've recently done over 130 mph in my stock '92

I'm a highway guy. I do @ least 120 every other weekend visiting family, just about all the way there 2! If I didn't It'd be a three hour drive @ least. Of course, no one likes 2 ride with me (they say I'm a speed demon 4 some reason), but I wouldn't attempt 2 drive & take a pic simultaneously @ that speed 2 prove it. I just hadn't tried 2 go faster than that. I think I drive my car hard enough as it is & have found people react funny when a car is coming @ them that fast & their only doing 75 or less. Most times instead of moving 2 the passing lane, they freeze up- or if they're already in the passing lane, they sliqhtly swerve, as if flustered from my sudden arrival. I've started slowing down 2 maybe 90 when approaching another car & am getting a casual response from other drivers. Don't get me wrong, I may be driving fast, but I still drive safe & no tickets yet after 3+ years. I wish the same 2 all of you!

"but I still drive "

yea whatever...i would never do 120 on a road with other cars...sounds stupid to me???

i'ver hit a buck 30 on a road in vero beach flordia....it was like 5 miles long and there is a blinking light at the end that you can see from the 5 miles away. so you now if anyone is comming.

I used to live in West Palm Beach...good ol Turnpike...used to routinely hit ~120 in my old 2+2 300ZX on there. Never saw cops then they just appeared one day. Couldn't speed any more...got pulled over twice. Dodged a MAJOR bullit once.

Now I have the 86 Turbo in my sig. I went down to Louiseville (yes, I live in Kenfucky) last month and decided to push it a bit. Hit a little over 130, I think...not too sure...didn't look. I just installed a boost controller so I'm gunna have to give it another go soon...as soon as I find the damn spring that fell out of my (manual) boost controller...DOESN'T WORK WELL WITHOUT IT!! Imagine that...

I dont drive a Max but I have a 90 lincoln Town Car... The engines were big back then but the digital odometer doesnt go over a reeding of 85MPH but I'm sure of it that I'm going faster then 85. I'm a highway man I always kick it up to 85 keep on the gas for about 40-60sec then hit the cruise control on and just cruise chillin with the 200w pionner system...

I forgot to say I probally kick it around 87-93 ish on the highway
