If the car is a stock Ex like it says in his profile i don't think he could have hit 143.

i've got an ex manual, and i've gotten to about 140 also, but it doesnt mean im going that fast. It just means the cluster isnt accurate that high up, and the cluster goes up to 150 for those who say it only goes to 140.

I had mine to about 120 when I first got it.. 100% stock, it was 118-120 ... I didnt really want to try goin any faster.. 120 was pointless neway...

EDIT: I had to check a pic to make sure, but yea it does go to 150.
