Ive had mine up to about 128ish but it wasnt really pulling that hard anymore, it took too long to get up there. whats the point of doing 170 if it takes you four miles of driving in the top end to get there?

Lol, yeah, unless you're finding long straight barren stretches of interstate, most ppl can't even pull it off.

i've hit 147..no pic and 135 with a pic...it does take some time to get up there in speed and most of the time the cars in front catch up pretty fast. the only good thing bout get up in the top end is watching the person next to you fall back cuz they are governed to 130

I dunno, I think there's gotta be something to be said for the feeling of that speed, the level of focus, the feel of the car through the wheel. Well, at least for me, it is exciting to do on rare occassion.

Are most cars governed to 130?
