Highway speed ???

My Evo can handle 120 with no problem to the handling or the engine; however, what is the fastest you guys have gone on the freeway.

Me 150 mph!!!

I've done 164 then i realized that i was stupid! But the car handled fine.. FYI i did it once on a huge straight in NM there was no other cars as far as the eye could see and I haven't gone that fast since then.

i did over 155, stopped looking at the speedo and paid attention to the road because things start flying by me really fast. Other cars dont appreciate that much either, they get all pissed, but i guess when you pass them doing 100mph faster then what their doing u cant blame them.

the evo is limited to 157 but if u remove the limiter with a flash then you can go higher but usally to get higher u need some mods or a really really long road.

165mph+ I had a lot of open road but slowed becaus at that speed you creep up on people very quickly.

Very stable at that speed.
