I believe its all gonna be about drifting. If so, prepare to see groups of ricers trying to drift in parking lots and around corners. When that movie comes out in theaters, I wanna take a video camera and sit in the parking lot and capture all them ricers/wannabe revvvin their engines after the movie...pfff they dont impress me
i feel sad now....... 
here is to the new motor that someone will get!!!!

Emagine few years down the road, what you'll be able to buy for $10-15K, slightly used. I better start saving up.

Guess somethin was wrong with mine

ive had my max up to 140-145. i was paying more attention to the road than the speedometer. i will have to get new shocks before i try that again. i was driving in idaho and the roads are so unlevel that my car actually left the pavement for a moment around 105 mainly cause my shocks are bad, but the roads are horrible.

I dopn't know how you guys get it to over 140 mph, when the ECU is electronicly controlled at 127 mph (or 137 mph, I don't remember exactly), according to factory manual. You can check it out yourself, I tried it, and it shot me off at 127 (or 137) just like it says!

This is all well and fine we all get on our cars from time to time and all don't have the money and or time to go to the track...., but if you are gonna mess around on the street keep 3 things in mind, for the love of GOD or anything u believe...1) Get a nice set of tires, (it is the best money I spend at 100 a tire for my Kumho 215\45\ZR17's, 2) Don't have anybody in the car if you are going to kill urselfs that is all well and fine, don't take out others with you, and 3) Not that it would help but I was gonna say I hope you guys are all wearing seatbelts... but now thinking about it at that speed your car would be a 3 ton 10X10 Cube. Not to give a speech or anything... anybody feeling this? ~Charlie~

Hey I gotta say some people truly have the need for speed, I consider myself one of those people, and its sad because I have no money to have my car faster or a faster car. I cant stand freaking speed limit..Have you ever gone that fast? if not you should try it, I'v done "130mph" on mine I say that with quotes because the needle was past the 125 and seemed like I was still gaining speed, anyway it can be suicidal if you dont speed responsibly

Dude I wish I knew how fast that was but I dont know anything about km/h and I dont have the speedo in front to see how many miles that is and I dont feel like looking online to convert it cuz I'm so lazy

237kmh = 147mph.
240kmh = 149mph.

just the other day me and my friend where in the saab, we went 140, and still had a good pull, but the ecu cuts out at 144, and if you go that then the warrenty is void, it was very, fun, very fast, i love that car it handles soooooooo dang good.

Edit: I have a feeling some of us second/third/fourth/etc. hand owners maybe missing these controlled speed limits without even knowing, from previose owners wanting to go that much faster. If these electronically controlled cut-offs do exist.

I'm not aware of there being any cutoff other than the rev limiter.
of course I will probably never find out as I happen to like my life and I've done enough stupid stuff like that to last a lifetime , which I'm just lucky didn't end prematurely

i have done quite a few stupid things in my time, wrecked my motorcycle at 90, was very lucky. BUt i try to make sure that there arent other people around when i speed and what not, and of course always have my seatbelt on. When i got my max up in the 140 area i was trying to see if it had a cutoff. will have to test again to be sure once i have the suspension upgraded.

The specs on my swedish se is:
125kw 1350kg (with all fluids, full tank and driver)
Probably still doesn´t compute but as i said i think it goes somwhere around 220km/h maybe less, all I can do is look at the speedo and guess how wrong it is
