'02 WRX 152mph and still creeping up. Only mod SS exhaust from turbo back.

Now I know speedo reading can be inaccurate near the top but, it felt about right.

Anyone else care to add their highest speed seen?

(On private road of course!)

Mat Mc. My 02 wrx speedo is 10% over going off my gps speedo on my road angel, so your true speed would be about 138-140, which is what the book says is top end!

A question for all you speed freaks who drive bug eyes.

What is that noise at 125 and above, like someone blowing over the top of a milk bottle, but 10 times louder?

Drivers side, around the door mirror.
