Yes the fwd 2g's were limited because of the tire.

He is referring to VSS as the speed limiter.

The speedo's go to 175 but I don't believe they will do 175 in the awd's.. I think they typically top out around 145 or so.

I was still in 4th gear when I let off of my 1 time hell run, and it never saw redline.

So I have no doubt it will get damn close. But that was with an upgraded turbo and the like so power wasn't an issue if it would be on a stock one.

I can personally vouch that a 1g dsm FWD can and will hit 140. I did it in one of my stupider moments, and the whole damn car vibrated so much i thought i was gonna lose a wheel. Be very careful. With the way things break on DSMs do u really want to chance it happing at 100+ mph?

I believe it's rev limited on the 1g's and computer on 2,3g's. BTW, did you get a turbo for your car, when I saw your sig and the posts you've been making I've started to wonder, pm me.
