    It's not fast enough...it's too fast. I usually can't go past 110 in a relatively safe environment...unless you're talking about me blowing away WarrenG on the way to the Texas meet

    Reelax is right. 128 is the speed limiter set by the ECU. BTW, if anyone decides to defeat it or override it, make sure your tires are appropriately rated to handle the additional speed. That's why Mitsu put it on there, and we can't afford to have anyone hurt or worse because you blew a tire at 135.

    the limiter at 128 i don't think is true, i was racing a grand am down to a race one day on a open road, and my needle was burried, and i was passing him slowly, and after that i talked to him and he said his needle was at 134 and i was barely goin faster then him so i said about 135 i was goin, cause his speedo goes up to 160

    I had my car up to 212 MPH.











    Then I woke up in a cold sweat and a big smile.
    Love,

    If his speedo was stock then it is the first GA in history to have a 160 mph speedo, and if it was an aftermarket speedo i would venture to say that it is way off.

    I agree

    128, 135, 190... where are you gonna find room to go that fast anyway.
    Not here in houston. Those kinds of speeds are meant for the track not the city street. I like my car and bike to be as fast as the next one but lets all be safe out there guys.

    Hey Tiller. Love the bike man. I got a GSXR

    Yeah you really don't need that kind of speed to beat Warren anyway
