OPEN SPEED LIMIT?!?!?!
I have a Infiniti G37 that I might consider driving at a sustained 110-120 mph. over a long distance on street tires. If the factory had supplied better quality rubber I might be tempted to bump that up to 130-135 MPH but no more than that. Too many things can go wrong at those speeds.
The guy with the Saturn SL2 is blowing smoke. Those things aren't safe at 90 MPH. on racing rubber. |

I'm comfortable driving 90 or 95 mph in my 1991 Honda Accord. One time, I got up to 98 mph (tried to reach 100) and it felt like I was going too fast. 92-93 mph seems to be my limit. |

I have a ford mustang, so 100 feels very comfortable. I drove from South Carolina to Virginia on Christmas day a couple years ago, and there were no cops and only a few cars on the road, and they were all doing 100 mph, so I decided to do the same for about 2 straight hours. I am comfortable driving 100 mph for a long period of time in perfect conditions. I have driven well over 100 mph, but I am completely comfortable at only 100 mph. It felt weird when I backed off to 90 mph. It felt like I was barely moving. |

Well with no speed limit I'd probably still stop around 70. To be honest I'm happy going 55-60 and go around 65 when the speed limit reaches that. The reason though is because that is about the speed my car was designed for and after that the gas mileage goes down. I realize gas isn't that much(only $2 a gallon around here) but still better not wasting it just to go faster, I don't have anywhere that important to go. Now if I didn't care about the fuel economy I'd probably be happy going up at about 80 or up to 90 in that situation as well. I may be driving a little Honda Civic but it handles fine. |

I would try my best to keep at a safe speed. A safe speed in my opinion would be 55 or 65. I wouldn't want to travel too high above 65. Many drivers drive faster on highways as it stands. Even if there were no cops, I would try not to speed above that range. Driving at fast speeds is dangerous in general. You shouldn't be wary of the speed limit for the police officer's sake or because you think you will be caught. However it is a safety issue. The faster you travel, the more risk there is for losing control of your car. Just because the weather may be perfect on the roadway's and the speed limit is open, it doesn't mean you should ignore driving safely. Having an open speed limit would only mean more accidents because many wouldn't have any regulations to stand by. They would go based on how they feel rather than what is safe. |

1998 Pontiac Sunfire Sedan 130 MPH - ROTFL
Actually, I wouldn't dream of trying to sustain more that 75 - 80 MPH in this car. It is in very good condition and has a brand new set of brakes and brand name tires on it. But, in all honesty, this car was never designed for the speeds indicated by previous responders.
I'd like to know what the dude with the Saturn is smoking though. |
