Default Top Speed Top Down
Having read through the thread about driving on the highway top down, I was curious how fast people have driven their S2000 with the top down.

I've hit 135 mph and while it was very noisy, it was even more exhilarating.

I've also hit about 135, not taking into account speedometer error.

My car is top speed limited by the 4.57 gears and since I have the turbo, I tried only once. In 6th gear from 150kmh to 250kmh took a few seconds and the revlimiter was reached .156mph, you better wear something on your head to cover up your ears.

Energetic you must have lost both of your ears till you reached redline in 6th in a NA car .Must have taken a while
What mods do you have? A stock car should not be able to reach top speed with the top down due to huge drag.

I tried it on a downhill one year ago when I was completely stock!

You could feel the air slapping my face with the windows down!
