Why? Because some liberal newspaper says he is not capable of driving that
fast? I don't know that particular road, but at the time he was out there,
traffic may have been non existent. If it was daylight and the road was
flat and smooth, there was really very little risk for a short burst of
speed. But since we don't know the exact circumstances, we can't make that
decision.
Since the manufacturer states the top speed is 137, he may be able to prove
the radar wrong and walk away! Honest, judge, I was doing 65.
FWIW, my personal high speed was 115 on a Philadelphia expressway, long
straight road
My personal scariest time was at about 105 mph and I saw flashing lights
closing in on me. Crap, I'm going to jail, I thought. I slowed to 80 and
the CA Highway Patrol just whizzed right by me.

Between the various sources the top speed may vary between 137 and 142 with
the extra 5 mph likely due to error in the radar equipment.
Actual top speed will vary a bit between cars and environmental conditions
at the time, so IMO it is pointless to try to pinpoint an exact one speed
attributable to all V6 Sonatas.

Bob, as a kid I reared a guy when I dropped my double whopper and rummaged
on the floor to find it. I hadn't honed my skills by then......ended up
being an expensive sandwhich.

There may be more truth in that statement than you might know. The way
traffic court works these days, I am sure he woyuld get screwed in any

My personal record (for the street) AND scariest time was back in 1986 on
Rt. 80 about 20 miles east of Bloomsburg, PA in a far-from-stock 1969
Camaro that was capable of running high 9's in the 1/4 mile. I was doing
an indicated 155 MPH. And I DID get stopped by a PA tropper. He was
headed the opposite way on Rt. 80. I saw him turn his lights on and I
coasted to a stop and waited for him to pull up behind us. He had no clue
how fast I was going...just FAST. He offered us a choice (since it wasn't
my car) of either having the car impounded and us put in jail overnight, or
he could take the car for a drive by himself. We agreed to let him drive
the car. He radioed in for his lunch break and was gone for about 1/2
hour. He returned with a big smile and let us go on our way. After we
changed our underwear, we laughed about that for a week.

No arguement here, however the manufacturer claims 137 MPH, and Car and
Driver had the same results. Under controlled conditions, I suspect 137
MPH to be a reliabe average.

Re: Sonata top speed?
Not s Sonata top speed but high speed on the Elantra. Earlier I
posted a report on my '05 Elantra after one year of owner ship. This
is an excerpt from that post regarding the Elantra speed
"On the high speed section I drove the first 100 miles at 70 MPH and
for the next 300 miles I never went less than 90 MPH and at times
over 115 MPH. After the first 100 miles a guy with a ton of antenna
and all kinds of stuff on his dash board blew past me. I hooked up
with him for the next 300 miles I would let him get about a quarter
mile or more in front of me. The only time I slowed down was for
traffic. At times cars got between him and I and I would have to go
like a bat out of hell to catch him. That's when I was going over
115+ MPH. I finally had to stop for gas as the fuel warning light was
on. The car rode rock solid, no float, no lift, no sway. The car rode
smooth. Surprisingly the tach never went to high. I don't remember
what the tach numbers were but I remember being surprised at how
relatively low they were for that high of a speed."
I was in Arkansas heading north out of Little Rock. I don't know how
much faster I could have gone, but there was more speed available. The
115 mph was not just a short blast for a couple of seconds. I
averaged 102 mph over the last 300 miles.

Impressive!
I don't see that happening here in California with our flat desert of
miles upon miles. It could happen for awhile but not for 3 hours. The
CHips are always around. Arkansas Patrol must have been on a coffee
break!

So tell me Matt, why is it that you feel compeled to insult people.
Do my comments bother you? Since when did you become the moral and
legal guide of this board. People exceeded the speed limit. Thats a
fact. Was it wrong of me to go so fast? Of course it was. But then
agin that is of no concern of yours. The answer to your question of
"does it make me feel better?" is that I was comenting on the speed of
the car. Does it make you feel better to insult me by calling me

I think it makes him feel superior. But honestly, driving at an average of
102 MPH for that long does seem a bit excessive to me too. I'm certainly
not a saint, as I've already posted, but I would not push the limits of the
car that far for that long. Your car, your choice.

I believe in calling a spade a spade. I've also known too many people
killed or maimed by people driving like you described or driving drunk.
I have no tolerance for that and if you post such stupid stuff here,
I'll respond by calling it what it is.
How good would you feel if that speed had caused you to blow a tire and
spin out killing a mother and two kids? People like you think the world
revolves around them and have no regard for anyone else. Sorry, but
that is stupid and I'll forever call it stupid.

We all know that if his tire blew at 70 and he hit a woman and her two
kids than they would have all lived. Quit with the "I'm better than you"
attitude, you have broken the speed limit before and have no right to judge.
I suspect you have driven over 100mph sometime during your life, maybe the
o/p is in the same time of his life that you were in when you were doing
"stupid" things.Go back to complaining about your Sonata, your good at it.

You obviously believe in name calling. Your are arrogant to think

You are a very amusing person. I find your pompous attitude
refreshing. Your childish attitude is refreshing in its ignorance.

Of course you will. Its your duty to say these things. Thank you.
>How good would you feel if that speed had caused you to blow a tire and

I love these moral tirades of yours. Are you looking for support.
Answer to your question is that I would feel terrible if those things
happened. I would feel equally as bad if those things happened when I
was going the speed limit. That is a silly question to ask Matt.
Would anyone say they would feel good. Of course those things did not
happen so what's the point. There wasn't any traffic so to speak.
Every 10 to 20 miles the guy in front of me that I was following would
come up upon a group of cars and we would slow down to get around
them. Since he was a good quarter mile in front of me I would get
caught behind the cars, and yes I went around 115 to get back on pace
with him.
People like you think the world
>revolves around them and have no regard for anyone else.
I was unaware that you had such insight to know what I do and don;t
have regard for.
Sorry, but
>that is stupid and I'll forever call it stupid.
No Matt that's not stupid. W hat I did was not a good thing, but not
stupid. At three AM in the morning with not another living thing in
sight in the middle of know wear its not only acceptable, its common.
Matt on this stretch of road there are no signs of civilization. No
lights on the horizon, none to the right, none to the left, and none
behind.
Matt you just don't know when to shut up. I am waiting for your next
silly reply to me. You just have to keep responding to this thread.
You can't let it go can you. I look forward to your continued
preaching. Best regards to you Matt.

> I have no tolerance for that and if you post such stupid stuff here,
You are a very amusing person. I find your pompous attitude
refreshing. Your childish attitude is refreshing in its ignorance.
>I'll respond by calling it what it is.
Of course you will. Its your duty to say these things. Thank you.
>How good would you feel if that speed had caused you to blow a tire and
>spin out killing a mother and two kids?
I love these moral tirades of yours. Are you looking for support.
Answer to your question is that I would feel terrible if those things
happened. I would feel equally as bad if those things happened when I
was going the speed limit. That is a silly question to ask Matt.
Would anyone say they would feel good. Of course those things did not
happen so what's the point. There wasn't any traffic so to speak.
Every 10 to 20 miles the guy in front of me that I was following would
come up upon a group of cars and we would slow down to get around
them. Since he was a good quarter mile in front of me I would get
caught behind the cars, and yes I went around 115 to get back on pace
with him.
People like you think the world
>revolves around them and have no regard for anyone else.
I was unaware that you had such insight to know what I do and don;t
have regard for.
Sorry, but
>that is stupid and I'll forever call it stupid.
No Matt that's not stupid. W hat I did was not a good thing, but not
stupid. At three AM in the morning with not another living thing in
sight in the middle of know wear its not only acceptable, its common.
Matt on this stretch of road there are no signs of civilization. No
lights on the horizon, none to the right, none to the left, and none
behind.
Matt you just don't know when to shut up. I am waiting for your next
silly reply to me. You just have to keep responding to this thread.
You can't let it go can you. I look forward to your continued
preaching. Best regards to you Matt.

It will do at least 140, I was going that fast during rush hour. It may
have been 135, I was drunk and eating while on the cell phone so I can't
recall exactly. The tires are not rated for that high a speed though. I had
a blow out and hit a woman and two kids. Good thing it was the tires fault
or I might have "felt bad." I'll keep you posted on the lawsuit against
Goodyear and Nextel. (They should know talking on their network is dangerous
while you drive.)
