Re: top speed

first, there is no need to test top speed

second, the speedo is the limit, ~150mph at the very end of 5th gear is what everyone else has told me so far, i've only taken it to 130, and i wouldn't suggest anyone else doing it

it read 159/160 on the speedo, but he wasn't going that fast. i would say that he was going about 130-135. and there was no need to mod the ECU. you would never hit the governor anyway. i think its set at like 165-170mph.

i've taken mine up to 142 on the speedo. i don't care to go that fast anymore.

Re: top speed

Hell I have been 125 in mine and scard the shit out of me. LOL Maybe I am just a puss but I am not in the Indy 500 and that kind of speed is and was scary. I like fast starts and I am very happy with what my car does off the line. I would love to see my car with a turbo or supercharger in it. I would probably cream my underdrawers. LOL
