How fast have you gone; in your metro?

My speedo only reads 85, but I think I have been over three digits. There is a long straight stretch of 6% downgrade on I80 coming into sacramento where I let her rip. Fourth into fifth at 75mph, then past 85, then alot more speed with me screaming whooo hoooo! 4.1 tranny. Just wondering how fast other people have had their metros? (Mine only goes 75-80 on flat ground)

I think I've hit around 90 on the metro on a back road. Thought I was going to blow the engine, only have three gears.

This thread pops up every couple of months. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 96 with a slight downhill.

75...maybe 80. I don't drive as fast as I used to...if my wife were driving, she'd probably twist the needle off...she got triple digit speeds out of a '75 Datsun B210 going to Vegas...

Got 70 MPG?

About 90mph in my 1995 LSi according to the speedometer. Stock sized wheels/tires on a 4.39 Transmission.

And a GPS verified 84mph in the 1997 on the way back from the Geopalooza 2012 to the children's hospital in Louisville (this was on downhill grades, no where near floored, not even half throttle). 185/70/14 tires on stock transmission, about a 4.08 gearing.
