so marco, your car is capable of doing a constant 130kmh to 140kmh on any highway from say a distance from Welland to Mississauga ?
i know we all think of him as strictly auto-x (
), but he's not THAT dumb that he would put in gears that limits him to a top speed of 130kph

EXACTLY!!!!
Simon at any particular speed my car will rev 1,000 rpm more than a stock car....at some point, I will be in vtec (while your not) and I see no point in driving around in vtec on the street constantly...it's just stupid so I don't do it....it doesn't mean my car can't do it...

Okay, well whatever it is, I would be 1K rpm higher and could maintain it as long as I wanted to.
Point is - at a certain speed you will be revving say 5.5k rpm, I would be at 6.5 rpm. I see no point in driving all the way down to Welland in vtec. Do you? That is why I asked to keep the speed below 125 Kph....
