Maybe his speedo was about 25mph off at those speeds? If he had aftermarket tires that's completely possible. - LC

I've seen the polizei driving all kinds of fast cars. They don't have to chase you far. In Germany you WILL get caught so don't run.
Back on topic With the sports package I drive 150 mph every weekend. I was in a traffic jam driving 65 mph and it was killing me to have to drive that slow. |

Right now I primarily set cruise at 120 mph and it's a smooth ride. Hell, people are still passing me...probably ibd12nv was one of them! Head back to the states in a few month permanently. Need to set my limiter now and get used to crawling on the interstate....or get something "plowed" in a cell as someone put it. Not cool.

my stock evo tires are 235 45 17 which is about 25.3 inches tall. the ones on it right now are 245 45 17 which are about 25.7 inches tall. while beating up on an sti recently I was up to 157 "speedometer" mph so since I have taller tires I figure my speed was reading a little low but at 157 the speedo already is off. so I estimate I was doing 145 to 150 and I still had revs left but I don't think I had enough for 172. mine IS the 5spd model though not 6spd so it may be a stretch but I still don't think even a mildly modded evo will hit 172 on stock gearing/tires.

So it's official: BS on the "172" the OP's EVO went. Unless he meant 172 KM/H which would make a whole lot more sense. - LC

Lost Cosmonaut - +1 on that but.....172km/h wouldnt make sense since hes in New York City. If Kilometres was what he was talking about than thats roughly 107mph which is nothing to brag about.
