[What's your] Maximum Speed Thread (Need picture proof)

Hey guys, I am just curious to see what everyone's maximum speed they were able to get up to in their Yukon, Denali, Escalade, or Tahoe.

You can post what you have done before, but to make this a more interesting thread, try to show some proof (GPS reading)

I made a post about it before and its here to start this thread :)
Well, its a Garmin and just saves the "max speed"
That was with 3 passengers (All 200-250 Pounds each and a full tank of gas)

So if my math is correct:

4 People = 900ish pounds
2 Alpine Type R in box: 45.2 pounds
full tank of gas: (26.0 gal tank @ 6ish lbs a gallon) use 24.5 gallons because I used some driving: 147lbs

Total additional weight in Tahoe: 1092 pounds


Here it is as proof:

Sausage fest.

Unless those are some heavyset chicks.

you seriously think he could do those speeds in his truck with chicks in there? they'd rip his ears off.


personally i don't see my Yukon as a speed machine, and would really feel uncomfortable in it at those speeds, i have had it up to like 130km/h normal hi-way driving, but i wouldn't do a top speed run in it, too unstable IMO... in my civic however, i have gotten up to 180km/h before i started floating the valves.

The fastest I've taken it was a hair over 120 on the speedo. I'll try to take a pic of my log on the DIC next time I'm tearing ass.

Tested it on the German Autobahn (No Speedlimit).
It got quickly up to 180kph, and then the speedlimiter kicked in and wouldnt let it go any faster.

And the Tahoe was surprisingly stable at that speed.
