If memory serves me right, I hit 160 in 5th gear or early 6th gear. That's in an auto, so I still have 6th and 7th to go. Videos with minister removed shows car topping out at 173 STOCK |

It is drag limited to about 165, give or take. to the bolded part--drag limited means you can't run the car to redline because there isn't enough power to overcome the drag.... |

In terms of real world top speed (with the speed limiter removed) it is drag limited to around 168 mph. At that speed there is simply too much drag for the engine and gearing to overcome. In stock form, the car is limited to around 155 mph. This could be a rev limit *IF* that's the type of governor used... where the ECU says "I'm going to cut fuel at X RPM in top gear where X RPM = 155 mph or thereabouts."
