Default Without major engine modifications, how fast have you gotten your V6?

Not encouraging anyone to be wreckless...but how fast have you gotten your stock, un-modified V6? I've hit 105 on the backroads coming home from Cross country practice one day. Took a little longer than I thought it would, and even though Im a young and invincible teenager, it still scared the living daylights out of me. So anyone else? Im just curious, without a turbo or supercharger, how fast have you gotten yours? I know it can do more than 105, but i can't afford anymore tickets...So I'll never know for myself...

be safe man never race on the street or go over the limit that is set, saying that you did this on a backroad was not a good idea. be safe.

yeah...having done it once, I don't plan on doing it again unless, like 20033.9lvg, im on a track where it's safe and legal to do so. That was a one time deal when it was brand new and I just wanted to see what it could do.

With the few things I have done to mine I have buried the speedo out at Bandamire in Colo Springs, a little over 120, not sure of the exact speed. gotta say I dont think I could do that on a public road, scared the crap out of me on the track

ok you guys, i never shifted out of fourth gear and my goal wasnt to break my car. the speed that it says on the time sheet was 117, and like i said befor i still had a crapload of pedal.. i do not like to hear when people are goin that insainly fast on local roads.... I am part of a local city fire department and we see what can happen when people go to fast.. Do it on the track, take safety precautions and dont risk your life and those around you.

got her upto 100mph purely by accident. (good song, not paying attention etc, etc...) anyway I was on the hwy and didn't want to risk a ticket so I slowed it down after that.
