Idiots like this is the reason I very rarely come on here any more. Too many damn squids on here now.

You must mean 200 kilometers per hour. You would have to have a TON of mods to do that. Do you have anykind of idea how much horsepower is required to go that fast. A Ferrari F430 doesn't even break 200 mph. And please explain why they would send a car with less power here to the US and more powerful cars elswhere?

Take it to the track and get some lessons too.

Going at those speeds on public roads is just retarded. You could die or kill others...
Top speed is kind of irrelevant.... if you want to race, go to the track.... and most tracks won't allow you to mantain 125 mph for long periods of time anyways.... (you have to slow down on turns, etc...)

Wow wtf...The RX8 should be able to hit 150 without much problem. My prelude maxes out at 150. I know it does 135 without much struggle because I have done it with RPM's to spare.

^^^thats f*ing hilarious.
but also sad if your car tops out at 120...
don't be in such disbelieve if a lil 'ol prelude can top 120, hell it can do 140 no prob.
maybe big brother is stepping in on these newer cars and limiting its top speed, who knows? but if it is... don't be in denial, go get the motha chipped if top speed is all your after.

i'm positive the RX-8 can top 150... but i don't care to try to find out. 140 was quite adrenaline rushing for me as it is, and that was kinda lame for me to do so back then.
hasn't someone already found out what this thing tops out at?
obviously street is quite dangerous. anyone has achieved higher than 155 at a track with this?...

Um yes it can. Why do you think it cant? Look at a gearing chart for it. The 5g prelude has to hit the rev limit but it tops out at 150.
