If I had to guess, being it's an automatic I would say it's electronically limited around 118. I maybe off on that but that's my guess.

Oh you mean the dumb bitch in the blue car that tried to take me out! No clue! I was to busy trying to save my ass from her! LOL! I think I got it up to about 120 or so on the way out.

You were in the Yellow one with the rims right? Your cars quick for a 2.2! What all you got done to it?

So how close did she get to me? The guy in the red and black SC car said she missed me by like an inch! I wish I had a brick to throw at her when she dove in front of me like that.
The dumb non-driving bitch!

Has nothing to do with being auto...it has a speed limiter based on the rating of your tires.

Well there was about 10 of us just playing around on the highway and then this stupid bitch
cut over right on me. I mashed the brakes and dove to the right sholder and missed her.
I know it was my stupidity for going that fast but she never even looked over till I passed her on the sholder!

I'm not sure if it cuts off at 135 or 140 or where if it does at all. But if it does you'd need to get the car tuned with HP Tuners to get rid of it.

Just BE CAREFUL! Even when everything looks good something like the butch in the blue Hyundia can happen.

Excellant thread I was just going to ask this question. We have had our 06 with 2,000 miles on the clock to 130 mph twice and she is just starting to slow her pace a bit.

Has anyone had there's past 130? Just wondering how top end fast these cars are?
