its still under debate. i dont think anyone knows for sure. i think its somewhere in the 140s. i personally got mine up to 137 (on the speedo) but i had to shut down.

i think emax told me about someone testing it with their GPS but i cant find the post.

I topped mine at 138mph before the cut-off now if Nissan has allowed to 2k2 Rev/Speed limiter to go higher with the added muscle it can probably hit 150mph on a really good day and going down a really steep hill! other wise 140s definately. hell stock Evos do 170mph

I think you can remove the revv and speed limiter with the Apex RSM.

131 MPH

I was driving on a light road and started seeing some cars and coming up to a spot which is known to have some cops.

Next time, I'll try a little harder...

I would agree with the number for the 6spd. I had mine up to 240 km/h(149.1 mph) before I let off, on my way to Ottawa a couple of weekends ago. An Audi All-road came flying up behind me as I was doing about 140 km/h. I pulled off to the right, he came up beside me and we both stood on it. I was about 8-9 car lengths ahead of him by about 220 km/h and I let off at 240 km/h, but the car was still pulling hard. I knew I'd trash the All-road, but I didn't realize that it'd be by that much. I look up the specs on it when I got to Ottawa and saw it tops out at 137 mph and is just under 7 sec 0-60, so it wasn't such a big shock when I saw that stuff. Nice for a SUV alternative, though.

I've compared my speedo to the GPS up to 160 km/h and it is dead on, I will have to do a comparison some time at a higher speed to see if it retains the accuracy.
