True Top Speed of a Max...

Not that I am planning on getting there anytime soon, but what is the true top speed of a 6th gen Max? Aren't they electronically limited? If so, can this be disabled? Just curious...

I am thinking, looking at the RPM gauge, about between 130-140mph. I am not sure about the limiter but it probably has one.

lol, OT! But if you look at it it is the altima, that's why he cut off the back end. looks cool though.

Motor Trend tested several cars in 1995 for top speed. They got the 96 Maxima up to 142 MPH. Still have the article someplace. What really impressed me is that they said the Maxima was rock steady at that speed. The Mustang of the day, with more HP, couldn't make the 140 MPH cut-off. I suspect the 6th gen should be faster than the 96 model.

I read a car and driver that tested an '06 max. They said the top speed was 149 mph with a 0-60 of 6.1 or 6.2 I can't remember.
