Top Top Speed on Insight?
Eastbound on I40 in Western TN last November, just East of Memphis, following (10-15 carlengths, not the smartest thing in the world at 90 mph, but hey) or being followed by a BMW for 20 miles or so (several lead changes). She decided to lose me, I followed, floored the ol' CVT, no idea of our rpm's (more important things to look at), we were accelerating about a mile or so (and keeping pace) when we were both illuminated by a trooper going boogety-boogety westbound (woke up our radar detector big time). We both decelerated and blended in with the right-lane traffic, but he went on, so no tickets. She exited promptly, we stayed on the highway and I looked down at the GPS. The max speed shown was 122.7 mph! Took a picture of the screen as proof, I have scanned it but I can't figure out how to paste it to a message here (not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to stuff like this). Flat road, sunny, 50's, light wind blowing East, regular gas... Total 3,000+ mi. trip, average speed mid-70's, 54 mpg average...
