mine does 150 km/h
Yeah, I can vouch for the same, The stock G series tranny will not go faster than about 140 without being well past the red line. It may be possible if your car has no rev limiter but if anyone is that stupid to do that to thier car they don't deserve to drive it. Before I call you stoopid? Are you running your stock 1.8 G series tranny?

hmmm i think I may be running with low tranny fluid...you think that has an effect on top speed (may be a stupid question) ? I know a japanese ecu has a governor at around 118 :/ and i was able to go 110.

135 MPH on the GS, read above.
BTW, just got back from my race and the top speed I could get was 127. I thought it would be more, but it was only beaten by the V8, V10 and race cars.

I was at 150mph at right around 7k rpm. my rev limit is set to 7.5?<BR>Anyways I did it out on the track and with this ground control sus. and koni struts thing felt tight not squirly...good luck
I don't see how that is possible because the gearing on the mx-3 trannys are so low.
MX6 tranny'll do it.

130mph @ 7000rpm completely stock K8 (engine & gear box) modded suspension, standard wheels, sport tyres. It was very stable at that speed and in no way as scary as i thought it would be. I was very impressed for a car thats on 120K miles.
No wind, no wet. cold, and most important not done on highway!!
