I assume they mean wind resistance doesn't allow it to go any faster for the amount of hp, i know this is a big deal with my bike at high speeds

RE: topped out
Do you have a tuner or just a CAI. The tune will get rid of the limit.
As for drag, most people have no idea how much wind resistance there is above 100 mph. Its like taking an air compressor with a blower nozle and shooting it at your face and trying to breathe haha

You are correct about what it means, however this car is not drag limited...I had mine on the dyno and it shut down at 147 even with my tune...so no drag resistance here, it's electronically limited..

RE: topped out
I've had mine to 220kms/hr in 4th gear, then backed off after shifting to 5th...According to the magazines and such, the cars are factory governed at 149mph....seeing as I got most of the way there in 4th, I'm sure it would do it in 5th at WOT...
