Default New top speed

Well the wife and I went out to the beach a little while ago. We went to Cedar Island NC with some friends...player around a little but since I was not accustomed to the location I got kinda scared with the tide coming in. So on the way home...in the middle of nowhere I punched it to the floor and held it.....105 and she still had more....it was just too damn dark.

I don't bother topping out cars anymore. I've done 103 on a snowmobile, after that I got my integra gsr up to 138mph with more to go, I just let off, it wasn't doing anything for me...

been up to 120 in the hawk and it seemed the faster i went, the smoother the ride...still had a lot in it, no struggle at all...they say top speed is 160 but idk if that is governed or not. wouldnt be suprised either way bc of the power that was left, but then again, wind resistance would be crazy

Question is, is the passenger seat where you fell asleep at?

Wait did you flash your ECU or PCM because I thought the consesus was that the Govenor kicked in somewhere between 109 and 111?
