140 in the talon, 130 in the 98 V70R, and a whopping 98 in our 88 Volvo 740 (true top speed, it was aerodynamically limited)

he drives a stealth rt/tt
A lightly modded 3/S twin turbo will max out at about 165mph. Can't exactly tell what Josh's avatar shows, but I know its in kph and not mph. Looks good though. ;)
And yes, I have personal experience at the 165mph thing. And its ballzy. :rally:

im suprised the 740 acually made it to that, those things are bricks, and have very very little power...unless it was a turbo, then i belive it, but still....woud be scary.
98's shouldnt be limited...havent ever had a chance to try one out thou...

gauge indicated '172mph' approx 5800-5900rpm in 5th, and she felt like she had more :). Maybe I just stayed in it long enough.
HAHA! james youve been faster in my car than yours!
I just love how solid the tt's are above 140 :).

I had to back off on the talon and the V70R because I was running out of decent road, but I held the 740 at 98mph for about three miles at full throttle and I didn't get a hair above that. For the record, the 740 had about 230,000 miles on it at the time, and it only had 114hp when new.
