How fast have you gotten the Tour?

[Parmgeddon]

I have had mine up to close to 150.........it took me forever to get therethough......it felt fine...not as good as running 170+ in my mustang smoking a Porche on I-55

 

[Fn'sh!t^]

When I had my CSVT, I had it up to just a little over 140mph as indicated on the speedo.

Pretty fun.

BTW empty highway close to the U.P.

I want to find out if my six speed accord can top that .

With my snow tires on there (15" OMG) I try not to go over 75...

Stable as a tricylce doing 2mph the car seems to handle better at high speeds. I miss my CSVT

Ditto

Mine saw 140ish + (the expansion joints in the concrete made it kinda hard to look anywhere other than the road)

I miss the torque and hi end power, I have to downshift the Foci into fourth to get the same kinda pull I did from the Contour at 70... I guess that just stands to reason though...

There is a little stretch of highway off of I-55 by Joliet. I think its exit 252. Head west on that and within three miles you'll come to a bluff, in which you can see about five miles of empty, good condition, straight. I got mine up to about 135 but there was some farmer in a John Deer doing about 2mph that I had to slow down for. when I get another chance, I'm heading down there. With the slight downhill grade, I think I can hit 150, but only the GPS will tell.

Just an FYI

There are some very straight long and slightly downhill parts on I-39 too and being the road is about 12 years old its in great shape.....
