How fast can the Redline really go?

[redlin-er]

I've had to 132mph before I had to slow down.

After I get my header, I'm going again.

i have read stories of 142 ish, me personally have been in the 130's

[redlineRACER]

ive been 133, but after youve gone that fast, it really isnt worth taking the chance of manslaughter, exhibition of speed, etc.

[Sp00ner]

Most of the mags and Saturn say 143-145 as the top end, I've had it to around 120ish and don't doubt it at all. The thing flies through the gears...

I have made it to the end of the spedo it was pretty wound out. Id say 145 or 150 is where it would stop. I just wanted to kill the needle. On the Busa it stops at 220 now that was a lot of fun to see.

I think I hit about 142 or so, but when you are going that fast, I think it is a better choice to look at the road.
I know what you mean goofy, I have an 03 R1. Although the it is a digital gauge, it was pretty cool to see 195.

Don't forget that the speedometer can have up to a 5% error or so. Unless you are clocked by an independent source, there is no way to tell exactly how fast your are going. Not that it matters though, even at a 5% error going 140+ is still wicked fast.

I've had mine to about 135. I've had it to 115-120 MANY times as well.

I think the top speed is computer limited at 144 though. I heard that when it hits cutoff it does it pretty damn hard too.

I havent hit any higher that 135mph. As soon as i find the right place at the right time, i'll let you know how fast we can go :-)

i thought there was no limiter because it comes with Z rated tires, so legally they didn't have to put one in (figure GM wouldn't as it would have saved some pennies)
