we saw the other side of 130 mph in both the 2.5 Elite and the 2.6 CDX, however those speeds were attained on roads within europe, sadly i have no photographic evidence....

at that speed the world is passing you quickly and any error/malfunction will result in a nasty mess that someone else wil have to clear up
The cars were very composed at that speed, the CDX felt a little lighter on the front than the Elite, i'm not sure why  :-/

indicated(less 10% for more accurate speed) 187 on a gsxr1000(or whatever speed the restrictor kicks in at, i could not look at the dials, by the time youve looked down focused and back up again you could be dead) 135 in old 99 cdx, more to come but it felt unstable, having now experienced new shocks in 3.2 i think the old cars shocks where buggered. Not tried the 3.2 yet but it got to similar speed very easily, and felt rock solid. Could be interesting. Looking forward to the rolling road day.
