nobody knows for sure, everyone has been time warped first.

honestly, probally 140 with a few mods(y-pipe, intake, etc)

Do I30's have speed limiters?

IIRC, the article stated 143 mph. Tried it out in 1997 to make sure and did all of that and then some in the middle of nowhere in the Interior of British Columbia on a 4-lane divided highway, 25 miles from habitation. My car is a 5-speed with no speed limiter.

Ive never hit redline in 4th gear (auto) but ive been just under 120 on the speedo (not gonna post an exact speed because at those speeds your gauges are innacurate as hell anyways)!

I've hit 132mph in my automatic 95 Max SE, but there was a stop sign ahead, so I didn't want to try going any higher.

Please don't recommend people go out there do this. We got enough stupid drivers out on the road as it is.

Also, don't do it anywhere near Philly. There's tons of evo's, and sti's looking for a race and they all drive like idiots.

With my old 95 i went pretty far past the 140 mph mark on the speedometer, im guessing about 148....or so(y-pipe/catback/intake/flywheel), i was a young idiot, but it was exhilarating while it lasted....

And you never will ... The gear ratio is far too tall, and tops out (I forget exact #'s) but in the late 100's(170+)
