there are some mad fast buicks man, and we all know which ones those are. but i get your joke hehehehe

its good to know that they can do these speeds, but to tell you the truth i really dont care much about that. i jsut want to do soem autoX and track days and take turns fast, not much concerned with the top speed, as i will pretty much never be in a need to push the car to that level. its a great handling car, and its good to know that its capable of those 3 digit speeds.
so if you guys say it can do so, ill take ur word for it, no need for me to retest it especially since my car is not new, and some parts are probable worn out more than a 2kmile porsche or somethign like that

I've done 147 with the top down. I was driving alone on a completely deserted 4 lane road in west Texas... about the only place that I would feel safe enough. I would never have done it with a passenger or if there was traffic or houses in the area. hearing the sound of the road at 147 was a little unnerving for me... I cant help but think what would happen if I lost brakes or a tire at that speed. I know guys my age that take their srt-4's (front wheel drive turbo I4 with a neon body) or blown mustangs up to 160 all the time. I can't imagine how you would feel OK in a neon doing 160
