Top Speed?

Whats the EVO's top speed? Is this its "true" top speed?(aerodynamically limited) or electronically limited top speed? If its electronically limited, then if one were to install a Top Speed eliminator(bare with me, I forgot what its called ) like the tuners in Japan do to their Supras and Skylines, then what would the EVO's TRUE top speed be?

I hit 162 (indicated) last week and it was still creeping, but traffic was on the horizon. This is before I got it tuned on the dyno (today). My car will pull all the way to 7500 before rev limiter kicks in, I was at 7100ish when I was doing 162.
