ive gotten up to 125-130 before had more but i let off. and my friend in his 2.4 has gotten up to 115 he said he had more to go also just had to let off for a turn up ahead

 

1. What was the weather like, any wind?
2. What octane fuel?

 

My 07 was good for 130, his should be also.

#2.... GOOD CALL! This could do it.

 

I remembered that from a thread many years back.
that was the issue in that instance

 

2.4 is limited to 210 kph, roughly 130 mph due to the h rated tires it came with. You will need a hell of a long piece of road to see anything close to that with a stock 2.4 mind you, mine gets to 190 kph pretty easy but 200 seemed to take another 2 minutes

Fuel octane? Could be an issue as well, not getting max performance if you run regular (87/89 depending on altitude) instead of premium (91/93 depending on altitude)

Wind is a huge factor, I know how bad it blows around Lethbridge.....good tail wind should run you into the speed limiter real fast.....not sure I'd want to though. Not in this thing anyways

As far as doing this on public roads......anyone who has never driven in southern Alberta needs to understand that you can drive down some highways here and not see a single car for 20-30 minutes at a time.....in the middle of the day. Not that I'm condoning it but hey, been there, done that - and I would bet a shiney nickle that there are very few people on this board who can honestly say that they haven't.
