Dig a hole, find you a rock, carve your name on it, lay down. That will get you past 130!

you're an idiot. Try going the speed limit. It's people like you that give the car modifying scene a bad name.

Man, you are asking for trouble by posting this here. You better have a fire resistant suit ready.

Although the tC is software limited, the drag limitation really isn't that far up.

our speed limiter is at 127 theres no way you went 135, unless you were going down hill with the wind pushing you past 127

Slap a VTECH sticker on it. It'll push you up to 140mph easy.

Didn't this same guy post something like this a couple weeks ago and everyone flamed him? All I remember was that last guy was from Puerto Rico too. I'm glad he doesn't live here, jackarses like this guy need to just drive their car off a bridge.

even then I believe the gearing tops out at 133.

you would have to be literally flying (all wheels off the ground, with alternate power (ie jet powered )) to be able to go beyond the gearing limit.

yeah, even if you cut the governor to go over 127 mph, you'll redline in 5th gear at 135 mph approximately.

you'd have to put in a taller final drive gear, or a tranny with 6 speeds.

Yeah on stock 17 inch wheels...............

Throw some 19s on with tires that barely fit and you'll hit 140 realtime mph, forget about the Speedo when your wheels are that big.

Some places around my house are just WIDE OPEN stretches and are beggining for 130 mph. I'm guilty of doing 130 ish many many times, and if lands me in a body bag, so be it, atleast i will die happy,lol. And just know that i'm not stupid enough to endanger others, i never go above (well, much above ) the speed limit with others in the car or on the roads around me. Adrenaline FTW.

We all have our bad habits (for lack of better term) If you all are sooo ____ed about street racers putting themselves in danger and others around, then why don't you all go look for smokers and scream and yell until you're blue in the face that they are stupid and dangerous. And if you think it's because they only hurt themselves...you're wrong, i've had 2 family members die from second hand smoke-lung cancer.... and 1 from actually smoking.

Smoking kills 4.8 million people a year (not including the deaths from second hand)
Street racing kills AVG. 5,749 people a year (most recent numbers i could find)
Over 830 times more deaths from smoking than street racing

Not that anyone said anything about smoking but it just something to think about.

And let me make it clear now, i have done my fair share of "dangerous" driving but i in no way condone it. I just think your efforts could be better directed.
