I think a lot of you might be full of it.....I have proof of mine. I was still accelerating at that point.....but I wasn't going to be able to go much farther, computer was going to shut me down just over 120. Btw...that was 4th gear.

I got busted doing 122 in a 60 by my house. Went to court with a lawyer and got 2 points on my license and a $300 fine. Note to self: A Valentine One doesn't do any good if the music is up and the windows are down .

Have had the the needle burried at 120 in my 96 atx a couple times now. All you need is a LONG time and a flat road. All my car has is an Iceman and Borla exhaust.

Nevermind! I pegged 120 racing this civic ex and had him by about 1 1/2 cars. Great run. I stayed in fourth like yall said. When it wouldnt accelerate I had it in 5th. My bad!

Because I painted it. If I ever get the time and money, I'm going to buy black or gunmetal wheels, paint my brake calipers yellow and finish my interior. That is why...kind of a bumble bee effect I guess you could say.

I'll have to take a piture of my speedo at top speed sometime, 200+ just looks more impressive (km/h). Seriously though that ain't gonna happen I wouldn't risk taking it myself and I wouldn't drive that fast with a passenger. My sources by the way put the speed limiter at 132mph and I've had mine to about 125 and it was still going.
