Damn I thought it topped out at around 165. I only got up to 135 and had to slow because of the damn traffic. I hate LA.

Aren't these things governed from the factory? I'm confussed as to how people claim to have gone so fast in stock Evo's...

As long as typed words are validated as fact 100% of the time.

I could drive a Ford Powerstroke, as far as anyone knows.

Yes but most of us have had our ECU's reprogrammed and had the top speed limiter disabled.

Well, just for the people who are talking about "traffic."

A few years ago, I had a buddy with an VIII. We got it up to 160 (he was driving and I was watching the speedometer). The car felt quite squirrelly at that speed, like we were riding on ice.

Getting a bit out of control here. The OP was about top speed - not actually doing it. And it has been answered.
