I never plan to go that fast. I will also never tell anyone not to when they are driving alone on a desolate road. It is not my place. But I will say one thing, I do not care how "good" of a driver you are the roads are not designed for those speeds. You can take a NASCAR driver out on one of our public roads and they would not be able to safely drive like on a controlled track. A little pebble can make you lose control and crash. So, bottom line....be careful and have fun...in that order.

A Japan IS350 owner installed the VAC by HKS.
You can tell the difference by the blue and red lines.
Speed limiter is no longer 180km/h but 270km/h. (However, 270km/h is 5th gear not 6th.)



315.9ps/6370rpm
37.1kgm/5930rpm
5th gear 6000rpm 270km/h

Is this "true" speed though, or just achieved on a dyno?

Even on most of the road racing tracks in the US, you'll be lucky to even see 130mph on the straights

There is no need to go over the US factory speed limiter, which is already very high. At 100+ speeds, aerodynamics really come into play-- a strong sudden cross wind, or simply cresting a hill and going over a small bump can imbalance the car to the point of no return.
