I took mine 92 GS up to 110mph, I was at almost 6000 rpm in 5th, Iam guessing since it is redlined at 7, could have made to ~120

i've made it to 105mph in my 93 RS. i slowed down due to traffic and i was only at about 4000rpms i think. it's all stock, too. i don't think that stock rs's are very stable above 95mph. these cars in general aren't really made to race as is. handling sucks above 95mph.<BR>-Marc

I have had my '95 RS up to 120MPH around King Ranch area. I have also read that the speedometer is not that accurate at that range.

i've had it pegged at 120 mph when i had a bad distributor, had it at 6k rpm in 5th. but i don't want to take the risk of another top speed run, now that i got my car running right.

I got mine to 140 mph. Swear to god. I was on the way to the hospital because my girlfriend was in a car wreck. I know, looking back it was a stupid thing to do, but I wasn't thinking straight. I DO remember looking down at the speedometer and going, "Holy s---! 140?!" Kinda took my mind off my girlfriend for a second.

When my car was new I got it to 136, took me a while to get there though.

Back in Missouri, one night around midnight, only person on the road, I got mine up to 142mph. I have the 94 Rs. It was up to 136 under it's own power, then I had a downhill part, maybe a 2% grade, very light slope....looked down, and had it at 142.....said holly sh*t, and let off the gas. Felt as though if I were to even twitch my arm muscles, I would have lost control. Never again , without better tires

115 mph on a ~1 mile straight freshly paved 2 lane country road. Had to slow down because I didn't want to pass the car coming toward me at speeds above ~90.
