its an exige..but yes..very close

even better.

I wasn't a fan of the elise my buddy took for a spin. A bit too small for me, but it handled VERY well. Never seen someone hug the road like that before.

my top speeds aren't all that impressive, but on the roads, I don't think I will ever do it again.

108 mph in my Mom's '05 Ford Freestar minivan

~90-95 in my 1990 Buick LeSabre (speedometer reads up to 85 and my needle was almost to the bottom of the dash)

Fastest I've ever ridden

135-140 in my cousin's 1998 Escort ZX2

yes, in an escort. he spend way more on mods than the car was worth. Whole motor rebuilt, custom exhaust with flowmaster muffler, custom intake, advanced timing, reprogrammed ECU, carbon clutch and gearing from an SVT focus, shocks and struts from SVT focus, hurst short throw shift kit, and a whole load of other stuff I have no idea about.

Speedometer reads up to 120, he pegged the needle just after shifting into 5th gear and proceeded to redline the car. The car's aerodynamics can't handle it. The front end starts to lift up and the car starts shaking. scary as hell

I know as far as Prestige this car doesnt compare..but it IS very fast, and probably one of the best handling car out there... My friend has a 2006 VW R32. AWD.... That things handles absolutely amazingly. You can take turns at 40 (neighborhood streets) and it feels like thats normal for the car.

As weird as it seems to me are mini vans fast as hell to anyone else, i mean for what there supposed to be for,?

Ill go through the list of cars ive had up to this point..

1992 Ford F-150 (probably around 95 MPH, older ford speedos dont go above 85 and it was past that pretty far, but not quite as fast as my buddies 01 silverado that topped at 98 soo..

1997 Nissan Maxima 120 MPH (rev. limiter, was only at 3K RPMs)

1997 Ford F250 4X4 Ext. cab w/ the 7.3 Powerstroke - 98 MPH (again, rev limiter)

1993 Ford Ranger - ~98 MPH

2002 Explorer XLT - 100 MPH (governed and dont need to go any faster...)

I have also driven a few Camaros, fastest ive driven was around 140. Been a passenger at a little higher then that, maybe around 150 or so.

165 in a 97 toyoto supra single turbo swap out has a lot more in it to. With the horsepower at 850 should beable to do 190 to 193
