i got 160 on the stock engine ... but in canada, if your car came from an over seas factory, they come w. limiters in them [mine came from a japan factory not a north american factory] ... so 160 is as fast as the computer would let me go

The rev limiter will top the car out at around the 141-144 MPH range.

as far as i kno (from what i've read and been told) it's not a rev limiter ... it's a speed limiter ... if anyone knows anything different i'd love to hear about it ... further to that ... does anyone kno how to take the limiter out? (or change the limit?)
