Default How fast have you gotten your JK?

So I was about a mile from my exit home the other day with no cars ahead and I decided to floor my 3.6, and the jk got on it, past 100 mph, it seemed like it could have kept going but I got scared and slowed down after 102 mph, anyone else tested their limit?

Yea I agree with you both, I was being an idiot and I could have killed someone or myself, VERY IRRESPONSIBLE on my behalf, but I was on a country highway with no one around me, I wouldn't have done that had there been other drivers in the area. Just wanted to add some thrill and open it up a little.

I've gotten mine up to 95 a couple of times. I read somewhere that they top out at 112, but I'm not certain. It also seams like transmission type and differential gear ratios would play a role. I know I have taken 4th gear in my 6 speed (with 4.10 gears) up to 90 once or twice passing people, it was running a little over 5k RPM (way higher than I normally push it). Not sure how high it would push 6th.
