How fast have you gone in your FD?
And what is the fastest speed that you can sustain for a long drive and not do damage to your car?

Did about 145-150 max.
Did about 127 on my cruise today according to my blitz meter which is off about 1.5mph due to my wheel/tire size.
Its easy to hit boost in this cold weather.
Car felt stable though, been a while since i passed the 120 mark but it didnt seem that fast. lol

Ive had mine ~160 or so indicated by the speedo. Take that for what you will, not sure the accuracy at that speed. At the time it was ~300whp give or take (113mph trap speed). Probably had a few mph left in it, but not much.. at least not enough for me to want to keep my foot in it for that long.

178 as indicated by the speedo. This was many years ago when I was much less wise. It was on the long stretch of road going through the Nevada desert on the way to Vegas. There is absolutely nothing around for miles. Just desert. I decided to back off before I broke something and got stranded. I don't recommend it!

170 mph a few times (indicated on speedo), once with stock twins and once with BNR Stage 3s.
Car felt very stable at those speeds, and it got up to 170 much much faster with the BNRs

140 MPH - track only.
The FD was willing to go faster, but without much in the way of protection other than seats, harness and helmet, I didn't feel to comfortable going faster than that.
With 350 RWHP just getting to 140 that quickly was fun.

I got mine up to 88 mph and then went back in time to 1955 to help my parents get together. It requires plutonium to do this and can be very dangerous.
I invite anyone to come with me; however, I cannot vouch for your safety.

Wow. most of you guys are braver than me.
I've only done 140 so far. (I've only had it for a couple months though)
What is the fastest speed that I should maintain for a long trip?
Am I going to do damage to my engine if I go 130 for a couple of hours?

I would be more concerned about damaging your wallet. Possibles are court costs & fines, towing & impound bills, possible jail time & maybe later down the road if you get to keep your license...high insurance rates if anyone will insure you after that. It really isn`t worth it.
