idk if my neon's previous owner modified the ecu at all or anything like that because he did change alot of stuff but i know i have had my sohc atx neon over 135-140. i had a friend behind me in his eclipse v6 w mods and i was pulling away from him. he told me that wen i let off ( people in my car were complaining) he was doing 135 so that all i know. again i dnt know how accurate his spedo is either
Taking a neon over 100 is suicidle. Unless youve done the prober tire, suspension and brake upgrades your insane and i hope none of you ever consider doing so.

Speedo was way off then...the neon tops out due to aerodynamic drag at about 130 mph anyway.

Remove the Trunk Fin and get in a good draft - and you will easily top over 130MPH.
