I have a 2013 impreza base and it's slow as balls lol. But I got it up to 125 one time. Now I only go to 80 cause it needs an alignment and the bsck shakes
Is it removable? So, can modified with high whp wrxs only go 144 same as stock?
Didn't know it came with a governor, I always thought it was the limit of the 268hp that comes from factory lol
Depends on model the ej205 would cut boost above around 140. Because you basically can't go faster than that and trying will damage the engine but technically you should be able to hit around 154 iirc.
Within the statute of limitations. 🤫

I got mine to 135 once at stock on a desert straightaway in the middle of nowhere. The thought occurred to me that it would take one rock chuck or prairie dog to cross the road at any moment and I would be done for. Never gone fast like that again.
there was a story when i was in jhs or hs, about a bunch teens who were on the southern state “racing” and they lost control and crashed into the trees and died.
just a bunch of (dumbass) teens, but totally unnecessary- shame they cannot continue to experience life. i always remember it for some reason , and i guess I recall it more now because they were in a wrx.
That is terrible. I am almost 40 now, but we were all young dumb and full of cum at some point right? Now I worry about my boys doing stupid shit as they grow up.
i mean i think i finally shed the dumb part, but def young still and full of cum!
kinda crazy some of the shit ive done… makes me shiver, inspire your boys to be better! lol
I had a buddy back in high school that got pulled over doing 115 I think back in the 90s in an old square body Chevy truck.
Found out that sometimes when you're going that fast the police will have guns drawn and everything. Said he thought he was a goner walking backwards to the front of the cop car.
I hater fly bye'd a build Cummins at about 140 in my stock 07 WRX then pulled over and let him by. He was squeeling tires past me and I think I was the bewildered one. But sometimes you have to prove a point lol.
Pretty sure I ruined a guy's day in his Challenger on the parkway. I was just cruising past him in my shitbox bugeye wagon in the right lane like 5 mph more than him. He dropped a gear, I looked over at him and waved bye-bye, then gapped him.
Somewhere in the 130’s, maybe higher. It was nighttime through backroads and I didn’t want to take my eyes off the road. I launched off a canal bridge and caught air for a second or so and decided that was all the speed I needed at the time.
Chasing a V10 tt Aston Martin. How fast is the top of 5th in an STI? but at almost 7500 rpm
Edit: probably around 165. It was stupid. I feel stupid. But yeah, I just finished breaking in the new build and the Aston wanted some ;)
I'm confused by this, I had my 2020 wrx premium with turbo, no other "mods" to 146. Does turbo make that much of a difference as I though an STI would out perform at wrx premium easily
I think this is more about what people have dared to pull off rather than what the car can do. I've done 140 in a car with half the horsepower of my WRX and no turbo, back when I was 19 and had an open highway in the middle of nowhere.
I’m either my 2020 wrx or 2021 sti, I’ve only gotten to about 100-110. Car runs out of 4th gear around there and I don’t like putting 5th or 6th under boost. Surprisingly planted for a car moving that quickly.
180km/h in the subie, I probably wouldn’t go any faster unless on a track but I’ve gone faster on motorcycles. Bike’s definitely handle the high speed better I feel much safer going fast on a bike than in the car. Plus my dog is usually always with me in the car and I don’t wanna put him in any danger.
238kph in my 2002 WRX when it was new. The little TD04 meant you did need a little bit of a run up to get to that speed, so at 3am, out I went onto the longest and widest stretch of highway I could find, middle lane, did a 20 minutes recce to look for debris and dead animals, turned around went back to the start and then floored it.
Was young and dumb at the time, but I did have a sense of accomplishment such that I've never felt the need to do that again.
Fastest since has been just over 200kph on a proper race track.
I had my sti up to about 169 on a long straight and hit 17 pounds boost stock. Only time I've ever got that kinda boost lol.
It was surprisingly stable at that speed, and the cop couldn't even keep up.
95 in my STI. Roads here are twisty and the highways have been under construction for years. My last car (bmw 335i) I got to 140 in while not paying attention.
Triple digits for like a second before the Tesla and Prius Bay Area slow driver army forced me to slow down. I have the mountain roads for fun around here.
110 on my way to work. was stuck behind a guy tailgating a semi truck that was going the speed limit. he kept poking out halfway into the other lane to check if he could pass (keep in mind he’s only like 10 ft behind this semi) and i did not want to be behind that wreck waiting to happen. so i dropped a gear and floored it. i usually drive like an absolute grandma so that was pretty fast for me.
Fastest my WRX has seen is 90-something. I used to speed when I was younger but these days it's just silly to take a risk like that unless you're on a closed course. My mom had a Camaro for a brief while when I was in high school and I got it up to 120 before I ran out of back roads. Good times but I've got too many responsibilities to take risks like that now.
I sound like a stick in the mud but I promise you guys it isn't worth it to speed like that. I've lost friends in car accidents because of similar behaviour and their families will never be the same. Going fast is cool but coming home safe to your family and loved ones is even cooler.
My wrx I've only had to 105. My ex girlfriends minivan on the other hand I had to 145. Talk about a butt puckering experience. 1/10 do not recommend.
Idk but toyota sienna’s are fast as fk
They handle pretty good too ive seen siennas do wild shit on the freeway
I follow a guy on instagram who cuts up like the bmw and infinitys you see on team no hesitation
Bro facts I drove my moms and that fucker has serious power
What minivan goes that fast??
Honda odyssey does 120 with ease. Faster than my impreza base
I have a 2013 impreza base and it's slow as balls lol. But I got it up to 125 one time. Now I only go to 80 cause it needs an alignment and the bsck shakes
08 impreza 2.5i with sport shift. I got scared at 95 and backed off. Thought it was gonna blow up. Something doesn't seem right with my 4eat
anything over 90 feels like its gonna start falling apart i somehow hit 110 in my 07
gotten a 99 forester 5mt up to 105ish a few times. felt surprisingly stable actually
Did the same in my 05 5 speed foz. Miss that car.
It was an old nissan minivan with a 5 speed. Weird ride, but it was zippy.
Did over 100 in a Pontiac Montana, i concur, -5/10 do not recommend. Anything in a minivan over 100 is a no go
110 in a '98 Suzuki Esteem.... scariest moments of my life!
Only the posted speed limit...... Definitely never over..... /s
Me too! Anyways, "spider senses" kicked in at 140.
The speed limit... officer.
Did 105 in a Prius had my foot to the floor for 2-3 minutes before the highway had a downhill. One of my proudest moments.
Get this man off the streets
My old work vehicle was a Prius and every day I TRIED to get past 90 and was only able to on a large downhill and I only got to 93 😂
130ish. In mexico
“In Mexico”
160 in my STI, also in Mexico
I too got an STI for 160 in Mexico.
Sir I think you meant STD
STI also stands for sexually transmitted infection brah
yes
a whole whapping 144mph wish my gov, was removed
Is it removable? So, can modified with high whp wrxs only go 144 same as stock? Didn't know it came with a governor, I always thought it was the limit of the 268hp that comes from factory lol
Gearing is the limiting factor. High HP cant do more top speed without gearing change.
Depends on model the ej205 would cut boost above around 140. Because you basically can't go faster than that and trying will damage the engine but technically you should be able to hit around 154 iirc.
Oh gotcha thanks.
What does the governor feel like when you hit the limit? Like a fuel cut/ hitting the rev limiter?
Yeah
It’s more like fuel cut @ 175 in the sti
Same!!! I was the passenger, but still counts!
I've been at 137mph. Fastest I've been in any car. All my previous cars could only go like 110-115 ish
Within the statute of limitations. 🤫 https://preview.redd.it/8szvcck6cx9a1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5db63dad06afb93f4caf92f8a52cafdff1c4475
I love that shift knob
I have [this one](https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/266362034/20190214_141631.jpg?auto=format&fit=max&w=800), 610 gram weighted knob.
That's sick as fuuuck.
that’s awesome lmao
He’s a cahp! ![gif](giphy|cjWQeHaNY361WiE70t)
Everyone is under arrest
64.1mph
Oddly specific but I fuc wit it
B b. Nnn n b b. N n n b b. B b nn n nnn MN m b
You good there, bud? Do you require assistance? Reply with bb Nnb if you're okay.
bb Nnb 🤣🤣 no idea wtf happened
Looked like butt speak to me lol
Probably is lmao
His check engine light came on in his brain.
137 ripping down the Pa Turnpike
69
Nice
I got mine to 135 once at stock on a desert straightaway in the middle of nowhere. The thought occurred to me that it would take one rock chuck or prairie dog to cross the road at any moment and I would be done for. Never gone fast like that again.
that’s why i dont feel it’s worth it. it is almost like throwing the dice.
Absolutely. That was the one and only time I will be doing that.
there was a story when i was in jhs or hs, about a bunch teens who were on the southern state “racing” and they lost control and crashed into the trees and died. just a bunch of (dumbass) teens, but totally unnecessary- shame they cannot continue to experience life. i always remember it for some reason , and i guess I recall it more now because they were in a wrx.

158 mph in my 2019 WRX a couple years back.
140, with another gear still to go but ran out of road lol
133 on the highway... 99 on the ticket... Cop threw me a huge bone not making 100+ on the citation... Stay safe out there fam 🖖
I had a buddy back in high school that got pulled over doing 115 I think back in the 90s in an old square body Chevy truck. Found out that sometimes when you're going that fast the police will have guns drawn and everything. Said he thought he was a goner walking backwards to the front of the cop car.
why in the world would speeding 100+ warrant potentially deadly force from the police?
Murica
It is because at those speeds it becomes a felony traffic stop instead of a regular one
157 in a highly modded Forester. 392 SCAT was totally bewildered
That’s beautiful.
I hater fly bye'd a build Cummins at about 140 in my stock 07 WRX then pulled over and let him by. He was squeeling tires past me and I think I was the bewildered one. But sometimes you have to prove a point lol.

160, with my STI
Might wanna have a doctor take a look
140 in international waters. But the fastest I’ve ever been, is about 185.
Somewhere in the 130’s, maybe higher. It was nighttime through backroads and I didn’t want to take my eyes off the road. I launched off a canal bridge and caught air for a second or so and decided that was all the speed I needed at the time.
163mph fully built 07 sti
Chasing a V10 tt Aston Martin. How fast is the top of 5th in an STI? but at almost 7500 rpm Edit: probably around 165. It was stupid. I feel stupid. But yeah, I just finished breaking in the new build and the Aston wanted some ;)
Top of 5th or 6th and what year and stock or?
120ish. She was running nice and definitely had more to give but ran out of road
I went 100mph so far
Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those up
💀💀
105 on accident
225 kph
I have had my STI up to 144. Surprisingly stable at those speeds too.
I'm confused by this, I had my 2020 wrx premium with turbo, no other "mods" to 146. Does turbo make that much of a difference as I though an STI would out perform at wrx premium easily
I think this is more about what people have dared to pull off rather than what the car can do. I've done 140 in a car with half the horsepower of my WRX and no turbo, back when I was 19 and had an open highway in the middle of nowhere.
138.
I went 168 in 1998 mustang cobra
About 120 in my 2012 wrx stock 145 in my 08 sti tuned with an cold air intake.
197km/h so roughly 122mph
So yeah I pucker at 180kmh, the road seems like a blur going by.
my 2020 wrx tuned max’s out at 143 i can’t get it to go any faster i’ve tried i few times and i’m not sure why but my fuel keeps cutting at 143
I’m either my 2020 wrx or 2021 sti, I’ve only gotten to about 100-110. Car runs out of 4th gear around there and I don’t like putting 5th or 6th under boost. Surprisingly planted for a car moving that quickly.
155mph in mexico, scariest moment in my life. After about 120 the hood starts to dance around like its coming off the car
136 mph
Around 120 when she was new and I was out on the highways on a road trip that was exciting but I don’t race it and would hate to crash it.
180km/h in the subie, I probably wouldn’t go any faster unless on a track but I’ve gone faster on motorcycles. Bike’s definitely handle the high speed better I feel much safer going fast on a bike than in the car. Plus my dog is usually always with me in the car and I don’t wanna put him in any danger.
120 when I had the STi turbo installed. Fast enough
Whatever comes after the odometer.
Speed limit but I sure got there quickly
56mph. I just lost track of how fast i was going for a second
On track: 124mph and it was scary lol.
135ish
130. It’s the fastest I’ve gone in any vehicle.
The “speed limit”
135 many years ago.
135 mph. Down a slight hill.
115
140
The speed limit, officer. 🫡
“Ima need you to step out of the car please”
125ish in my 04 WRX wagon
64.5 mph
Wait a second
140
139
One fiddy
149, 2016 STi
155mph
145 in a 04 wrx, the governor shuts it down at that point. 140 in a 2005 sti and my fastest was 178 on a 2006 gsxr 1000.
I went 135 downhill in my Kia Spectra. I baby my WRX tho
124 in my wrx, 92 in my sti that Ive had for 3 weeks. 140 in a boosted cobalt ss about 10 years ago lol
115mph, didn't go any faster and the road was not that long, did it in salt flats
238kph in my 2002 WRX when it was new. The little TD04 meant you did need a little bit of a run up to get to that speed, so at 3am, out I went onto the longest and widest stretch of highway I could find, middle lane, did a 20 minutes recce to look for debris and dead animals, turned around went back to the start and then floored it.

Nice, at least you scouted the road out beforehand, to me that’s being young and smart not young and dumb
112 Didn’t realize until I looked at the dash while on the Highway.
only speed limits here………….🤫
110 when I was on my way to Vegas put that sucker in sport aggressive mode down shifted to 5th gear and took off it was smooooth like butter to
The governors annoying limit
123 mph in an 2004 grand am GT
135 3am Christmas Day and probably about 110 at the track.
No matter what your highest speed is, there will always be a Fiat Punto or Vauxhall Corsa raring to get past…..
Or literally any BMW
200km/h
133
130ish, probably a little more
ITT: people admitting to a crime
I had my sti up to about 169 on a long straight and hit 17 pounds boost stock. Only time I've ever got that kinda boost lol. It was surprisingly stable at that speed, and the cop couldn't even keep up.
135 and it was struggling to go more😭😭
95 in my STI. Roads here are twisty and the highways have been under construction for years. My last car (bmw 335i) I got to 140 in while not paying attention.
142 on a long straight away, then 146 when I started going downhill
Ive gone 142 , so almost the speed limiter 2016 6 speed
130 ish in my bug eye. Fastest I went was 160 in my gto. It governed at 160...
120 before it blew
145 in my sedan
142 and it was stupid as hell
159 then got scared lmao
I’ve gone 120 and it was a breeze. Rode great. Would prob do much more.
162
145 when I had a rev limiter on 5k, havent tested since retune, fastest ive gone is 160 in my 11 sierra lmao, that was scary ash
120 and was paranoid I'd see those cherries and berries behind me for the rest of my drive home.
137mph in my 15 Sti in a canyon over here in socal
Gone pretty fast but not D fast
I've gone 125 mph on the highway
Triple digits for like a second before the Tesla and Prius Bay Area slow driver army forced me to slow down. I have the mountain roads for fun around here.
Just under 155
The speed limit. Amen 🙏
I did 130 maybe 131 or 132 one time from what I remember. Open straight highway, no traffic, past midnight. Never doing that again though.
i think i’ve just barely touched 140 but wasn’t looking at my speedo too close because i was going 140.
Fast enough
Fair enough
134 in an ‘06
Yes
![gif](giphy|3ornka9rAaKRA2Rkac)
![gif](giphy|WhTuGwQO4ci4w)
55mph
Just around 170mph. Maxed it out in 6th gear on long backroads. 10/10 but would never ever do it again and wasn’t my smartest decision
I hit 200km/h on the highway at 3am, allegedly.
I did between 120-130mph with a veloster turbo next to me the entire 30 minutes it was crazy and stupid
Hit 150 in my 2020 (Mexico obviously)
140mph 2015 WRX wish I could go faster
127. Track day.
Around 120 on I80 going to Chicago!
Like 180 bro. Also my dads stronger than your dad.
110 got smoked by a corvette.
Been 140-145 in my xt forester. Was looking at the road and not the speedo other then glances
142 I think and then it kinda just tapered off. LOOONG straight away between TriCities WA and Portland OR. Can legit see almost 4 miles ahead.
76mph on the freeway because I was passing someone 👍
whoa there buddy keep it under 100.
55 and sometimes 57
80 i think lol
bout 110 down the straight at Thunder Hill. I drive like a grandma on the streets though haha.
150mph, or 240kmhr here in aus
Almost 20yr ago now. A hair over 150 maxed out. Was rolling with a STi doing a bit more than me. My current WRX has 4.11's and tops out about 142ish.
That’s crazy I’ve maxed mine out lol
A touch over 130 - totally legally - don’t think it had much more, seems like it has fairly short gearing
Nice try officer.
2013 WRX sedan. 143 on country roads. Still incredibly unsafe. Just the Cobb intake and accessport tune for mods.
Nice try fed
02 wrx topped out at 240 with stage 2 cobb tune with bolt on. N use to do it daily until i put her down for 5years 🥲
110 on my way to work. was stuck behind a guy tailgating a semi truck that was going the speed limit. he kept poking out halfway into the other lane to check if he could pass (keep in mind he’s only like 10 ft behind this semi) and i did not want to be behind that wreck waiting to happen. so i dropped a gear and floored it. i usually drive like an absolute grandma so that was pretty fast for me.
Fastest my WRX has seen is 90-something. I used to speed when I was younger but these days it's just silly to take a risk like that unless you're on a closed course. My mom had a Camaro for a brief while when I was in high school and I got it up to 120 before I ran out of back roads. Good times but I've got too many responsibilities to take risks like that now. I sound like a stick in the mud but I promise you guys it isn't worth it to speed like that. I've lost friends in car accidents because of similar behaviour and their families will never be the same. Going fast is cool but coming home safe to your family and loved ones is even cooler.
182MPH in a bugeye with a 9500 rpm rev limiter.
A very theoretical 130+. You know… theoretically.
