Ive nailed 140mph quite a few times...no limiter...the only thing that stops the car is the fact that ive hit red line in 5th and do not have a sixth. Throw a lil boost at the p5 and it will swing to the far right of the speedo real quick. The same pull I get at 40mph carries right through to the end with no slow down or struggle...this is at a mere 16lbs.
How fast have you got your P5?

The only way I can get past 109mph in my auto P5 is if I'm drafting someone.
I got it going 115mph while drafting a friends spec miata.
How are all you other stock or slightly modded auto P5s going so fast?
Are you driving in a vacuum or what?

How long does it take you guys to get up to those speeds? i takes me
probably about a mile before i max out, i have only gotten my car up to about
137-138mph once at that time i heard a loud pop i think it was fuel cut. I
havent gotten up to those speeds since, really no reason to get up to that
speed even when racing(unless you are racing a bike or Supra like i was in my
Honda, up to about 150-160MPH).

I suggest that this not be done by anyone.

I am curious....
Are you guys reporting the actual speed or just what the speedo says?
I'm willing to bet none have the stock tire and rim size, so remember, the distance-per-revolution value is altered, making the speedo off.
Just using 205s over 195 is a 5.1% increase in the ratio... at 130 mph that's really 136.7....
Also - where do you drive like this? At the risk of sounding like an old fart, when I am out traveling w/ my wife/kid, I prefer to think there are not people out on the same highway doing 2x my speed.
I hit 85 today and that was enough for me. The car handles just fine, i'm more worried about my own ability to react to other idiots on the road.

I 95 for me at 4 am i saw 5 cars and 3 semi's for about 2 miles.
The car handles the same at 109 as it does at 75mph, except there is no whistle from the roof racks after 95mph.
