Re: The LEAF's top speed is...
Is it just me or do the stock tires have a tread that likes to "wander" around at high speeds? Its OK on smooth asphalt but VERY noticeable on the grooved concrete Highways common in SoCal.

Don't think of it as a speeding ticket - think of it as a third-party verification certificate! Have it framed!GeekEV wrote:If I get another shot at it I'll try and gather that info. Don't want to get a ticket ya know...

Re: The LEAF's top speed is...
Every time I go over 190 mph I am much more concerned about judging performance in the next turn than exactly what my max speed could be!

94mph confirmed personally today - almost full pack and no-place in particular to be. Funny the way it tops out though...you can really tell that it has nothing else to give.
