150. Boston to New York...
click the link at the top of the video screen. the trainset is just short of 700 feet long.

skip ahead to 6:00.... incredible view from the cab as the acela speeds to 150 mph after crossing into Rhode Island.
*note; the video is in reverse. the train is actually traveling from Boston to New York on the right side of the track. but this is what the view would look like from the front power car and the train was northbound to Boston.

Thanks for reminding me that as i got older i did not get any wiser.

In my 1983 N/A GPS 183. Probably doesn't apply since it's not what you guys would call a Porsche anymore though. Still had about 800rpms before redline. Stupid foam spoiler was flapping over 165mph.
