It will do 130ish, but thats about all the aerodynamics will allow without more power...

Anything over 100 is dangerous anyhow without the proper tires and suspension... Could you imagine if something in your suspension came loose at 120mph? You might as well put your head between your knees and kiss your @$$ goodbye

losing a tire at 80 is bad enough
you get beat by a vette and now you gotta buy stuff to kill the speed limiter to prove what? that a neon is still slow?

Hell, I think it's pretty damned funny that a Vette driver thought he needed to prove something against a Neon.

"So, how was your day dear?"
"Good, good. I wiped a 10 thousand dollar compact off the road with my 60 thousand dollar sportscar!"
