HES RIGHT...they CAN'T hit 140 [2.0l NT] as the HP isnt enough to overcome wind and drag resistance, not to mention in a dead stock one, with the stock tires they would probably blow out on the way to those speeds and you'd be fucked.

The specV which has 175hp, and 180lbft of torque cant hit 140, due to wind resistance and its CD[ co effiecient of drag]....Its geared to a max speed of 157mph but it needs mods to give it enough HP to reach those speeds.
