Top Speed

I was wondering what your peoples top speed is, that is if you tested in a legal, safe manner on a track --

Specifically I want to know what the top speed would be with Cobb Stage 1 and Stage 2, because I am way too big of a ***** to find out myself...

Whatever your top speed, if you live in the Bay Area, you probably did it on the 505.

Can't say, cause I would probably flame myself for doing it on public roadways. lol
Legal-NO, Safe manner- very open stretch of road with a friend far behind to pick up the pieces if necessary.

Where ever you did it, how fast???

I did hit 130 before I decided that was enough, but that was in a safe/legal location.

I topped out at about 130, on 113 North at 2am. Nobody was on the road, it was sick!

135. Indicated. She had a little more, but I had had enough. Stock WRX.

I have a sportbike, and much to everyone's surprise, I actually feel safer on the bike at triple digit+ speeds. The car just has so much mass and momentum.... with the bike I feel more nimble and in control. It takes a lot less time to zip from 70 to 130 and back to 70 on the bike, maybe that's why. YMMV.
