Cool >Post your story>share>Comment>Thanks

Hi Member's, the above thread was precipitated by a conversation we had at work this morning when one of the employee's stated that his 06 Hyundai Sonata had a top speed of 147 MPH


He then stated that he runs the 1/4 mile in the mid 14's & in the high 90's...(He later brought in his timing slips from the drags 2 prove it). He claimed he beat a SuperCharged Monte ?

*Only Mod's: K&N & Exhausts/Tuned

I researched the car & it only has a 3.3L V6 with 235 HP & a five speed auto.

I did find this on my search from Car & Driver.


The 147-mph Hyundai Sonata

The dread traffic camera gains another foothold. Arizona traffic camera nails a speeder, and will likely nail a whole bunch more.

Cool Post your thoughts & keep our forum active>Thanks

Question for everyone ?



Why do we build vehicle's to go over
the highest allowed speed limit ? + when the top speed limits
are listed below ?
*Note the highest legal speed is in a very small portion in
Texas at 85 MPH


I think they want us to Speed (?) LOL
Pay big fines, increase our insurance cost, burn up our tires & damage our parts to keep auto businesses in business + the traffic courts + reduce the human population + keep doctors & hospitals
in business + + + + It's all $'s dollars & No Sense (lol)
Why do we need 1500 + Horsepower vehicle ?
(Because, we want'em)
Your turn > SOUND `OFF

The fastest I went was 122 and then the car governed out. I was by myself and all I had done was the cold air intake.

Hi `Zach, U R `up early 4>Sure....Thanks for being the 1st to contribute to this thread....Thanks for sharing...

How often have you drove it to top speed ?
Was your Monte in top condition when you did it ? (Good Tires/shocks/brakes/etc ?)...

I've just seen to many that drive fast & their rides are in very poor condition & they run the interstates & roads as fast as they can...

I've slowed way down since my teen years & I love going fast & taking my ride to the limit until I witness another bad accident & then it reminds me to slow down...

Wish you & member's a safe journey on your highways of life...

**Note, I think I've drank to many cups of high test coffee this morning to stay awake...>LOL>
Anyone want to race me on my skateboard this morning ? LOL

I have had my Monte going 145...it still had more in it but that's about were the speedo stops so I didn't figure it would be worth going any faster.

Hi `Keane, thanks for posting/sharing.
You are very wise for a young man...If I had your SuperCharged S.S. I could not resist the power & would be getting lots of tickets...

Wish you safe/fun/happy miles in your awesome Monte

Thanks to our new MOTM Winner for posting/sharing his high speeds until there were no more #'s showing (LOL) I wonder `if U could beat the Hyundai Sonata I posted above (LOL) ....
Be Safe & EnJoy your Victory & your Super Super Powerful Chevy V8
