Top Speed
#3
Although it's limited at 127 from what I've read around here.
Mine "appeared" to have hit 136ish...but now I'm thinking my speedo is off a bit. 'cuz I was doing 85 on my trip home according to it but timing between mile markers showed more like 80

Of course...could be that I suck at timing as I fly past road signs too ;)
But I was hitting an average of 1 mile every 45 seconds=80mph

i dont think its a speed limiter. its prolly the rev limiter its hitting at 127 mph in 5th gear. so its limited by gearing...not by the ecu.
your insurance is high because of all the people frauding the insurance companies...not from street racing. dont be a hippocrite, its not like you and everyone else has never broken the speed limit before.

127 mph = 5.9 RPM = limiter.
