    Been awhile since I tried this... but I'm pretty sure it was 62 while still in 1st..... not that I recommend doing that-- or that it would make any sense for a good speed run.

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    Several people on here have been saying this, I can get up to where wind is the factor in a little over a mile at the most. Past that then it is trying to get smaller. I just I look at it as once it stalls out with the wind you are at about the top of it, I mean if you are racing rockets on the street you will it that wind wall and then will not so that is where you ceiling is in that situation. Again this is situational, the salt flats was horrible for this because of the elevation,111.8 mph is the best I did that is butt. that is in the 2 mile course 130mph that is "just for fun"

    Yeah, my luck...they'd impound the spyder and arrest me...argh!...then fine me to a point that I'd have to take out another mortgage...

    That guy was lucky...pulled over at 128 mph and only got a warning? That's simply amazing!

    Ive only been like 95 - 100 mph in I-90. but im only 18 so it wouldnt look good to get a speeding ticket on my spyder if i already have one for an automobile.

    Clearly you guys are talking about an RS.
    I've tried on two separate occasions, and I can get my RT up to 100 mph.

    NOT 101.
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    The fastest I been is 140 mph... I was on 75N long straigth and no traffic with 4 lanes...
    I pretty much shifted on red line in every shift. I could have gone a little faster but decided not to once I got to 140mph...
    I topped off my Suzuki GSX-R 1000 on the same location... the speedometer said 190 mph... that was scary.

    And for the record:
    I will not do that again. that was retarded.

    the Spyder suspension is not for that !

    Neither is a V6 Honda Accord that'll run a 13.7 in the 1/4.The Spyder looks fast and should go fast. Should be at least 12's. That's all.lol

    I'm not believeing any of these 130mph plus top speeds either.

    IT's tough to get them ther but some will do it.....I have ridden around 30 to 40 diffrent spyders some will some won't ....Not sure why some do and some don't but it is what it is. and yes it takes a few mods to be in the 130's....but vrey possible......still not fast enough tho! Some times you need just a little more!
