Maxima Top Speed. Mine toped out at...

Hey guys what was the fastest speed you went on your stock or non stock Maxima??? I reached 130 MPH on my Max and my idle stoped there. I got easy to 130 but then it just stops there. From what I heard our Maximas are suppose to top out at 145 MPH, so any ideas why my Max's idle stops at 130??? Is that normal or there's something wrong with it?

I did not think the Evo 5's were light weight?

And then add on heavier tires than factory 17"
