nope....i have hit around 135-140 in my rsx-s

forgot to add. the rsx is limited by drag. 6th gear will only go to about 120, at 5,000rpm. but in 5th gear, at 120mph its at about 5500-6000rpm giving it about 2k more to go, and enought to get up to 130+(my numbers are slightly off.)

The car's theoretical limit with the current gearing is about 140 mph at 6600 rpms.

Well I can attest to that being only a theory and not actual cuz I was at probably about 132 or 133 at redline.

I just hit 120 this morning on the way to work. I didn't really want to push it more than that.

Automatics and manuals alike should be fairly capable of 130. The Automatics can take advantage of torque multiplication from the torque converter. The stick will still get there much quicker
