Guinness has been to somewhere between 110-118 or so. Not sure how accurate my spedo is at that speed and I'm relying on a friend I was pacing with...

I figure I can do faster because it was something like 90 degrees that day AND the car was suffering from cooling problems at the time...

I had my sister's MX5 (Miata) up to about 95 - 100 but it really didn't feel too stable at that speed ..... her's is about 9 years old though, so don't know if that would have any effect .....

the Japanese has a cutoff at 112? That's horrible, might as well be driving a miata

I have had mine at 120 before the FP started to freak out.

Yup, JP has a speed governor built into the JP ECU. Yet another weird difference between JDM cars and those designed for export to the states.

I've been up to 110 in Neb.

there's always a way around that limiter.

Really? I thought people swapped ECUs as they moved these cars out of Japan.

I can't believe that the Japanese people would stand for that kind of limiter in their cars.
