How fast?

I have driven my s2k up to 130 miles per hour with a passenger in the car with me. What is the fastest (miles per hour) anyone has driven their s2k? 'Just curious.

When I was in a caravan on the way to S2000 homecoming I hit 140 trying to keep up with some of the guys. It scared the ever-lovin-buh-jezsus outta me. I slowed to 90 and don't think I went over that the rest of the trip...

After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.

I've hit 120, and that could be as fast as I ever take it.

138. I was racing my friends chipped Jetta IV running 19psi and was ahead of him about 4 car lengths. We went passed a sheriff caught up in traffic(my way was clear of cars, but his was packed) and took the next turn to wait in a neighborhood. He almost hit me while taking the turn cause he couldn't control his car with the understeer. I had to brake. Thats the last time I'll probably go that fast.

So how many RPMs were you turning? A supercharger won't change the redline and 170 is way beyond making shrapnel. Sorry, this one is hard to believe.

fast for sure H20.......but, how ya hittin' em?

Other than hunting turkeys and targets .17 is an ornament. I'm partial to .22 hornet. (at 200m, she's point of aim-point of impact)
Ahhh, who am I kiddin'. I'm partial to shooting anything. I try and get lots of practice in with all in the arsenal.

It shoots real well. A custom rifle from back in the day built around a mouser action. I had the chamber redone as it was on the large size. But I don't shoot anything these days other then a deer or two. And for that I use my mellow 7x57 mountain rifle.
I got nowhere to shoot for fun now that I'm down in civilized territory.

Ok guys don't laugh and remember I have only had my S2K since december-----72mph!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that I have a lot of fun, really enjoy myself, think the car is really sexy and I drive like a grandma!!!! (I don't think I look like one and I certainly feel like a grandma!) I have wanted an S2K since I saw one in 1999 (the first year I think), and my husband would say that the car was too powerful for me, my son would say it was a waste for someone that drives like I do. There may be a driving lesson in my future, but until then I doubt that I will drive too fast. No matter I love the car, it is a blast to drive, it is just plain fun even without the speed.---------------J

As long as you're having fun and driving within your comfort zone Joyce, why should it matter what the speedo was clockin' you at? You've got the right idea my dear.....Kudos.

That would be a one time thing probably, 2:00 in the morning on the interstate goin to Atlanta, no one for miles. My comfort level only goes to 135. Then the pucker facter comes into play.
