Re: your top speed

129 mph in my current Civic. It was right below redline in 5th gear. Its an EX, so no governor. I was driving home from Stuttgart, Germany.

My buddy has a BMW M5. We were doing a 160mph on the Autobahn and the car was still pulling hard. Insane. I guess that's what $80K will get you though. All motor too.

Re: your top speed

Yeah, but speeding in England is expensive! Last ticket cost me $850 USD. I'm not doing that again.

Re: your top speed

Zero dollars for the drive Travis, but its about $1K to ship your car over to do it! Those BMWs the Germans drive do that on a daily basis all over the Autobahns. Its crazy.

Re: your top speed

Well in Montana there didn't used to be a speed limit but too many people were dying so they made it 100mph. Not sure if thats still the case.

If there were no governors involved ( are there?), 130 would sound about right for both a stock LX and EX with an MTX.

Well i ran out of road (my exit was coming up) but yeah, my car actually felt pretty stable at 120+ hehe
