with 4.10s the limiter is a lil sooner, but i raised limit to 7k and its not comforting pushing it that high in 4th, so i switch to 5th at around 125...made it well past 150 with plenty of power band left...i think this car could top 170 with bolt ons and lowering (on a track that is)...the main limiting factor is its horrible aerodynamics at insane speed...

Top speed is limited to 147 by the computer. Would probably go a little higher if you used a tuner to remove the speed limit. Has anybody tried this yet?

Accurate to +/- one mile per hour. So it could be 148, 149, or 150.

Off-Topic but,
I did 120 on an Interstate for about 15 miles showing off. The problem came when I got off the highway and had to keep the car at 40 MPH.
It felt like I was crawling.

I hit 120 the first day... Actually on the test drive. My salesman loved it. I haven't even crossed the 100 mark since.

i dont think it is drag limited to 150, at 140 it still had alot of juice and a whole gear to go, i would estimate the top speed to be 155-165

ya it was and it felt stable too wish it would have lasted ya know
another thing for you all that like to go fast, make sure you check your speed rateing on your tires so you dont have any problems at that speed
my tires are rated at 190 so no worry's for me
