Default Ahaaa, wow, 137MPH in a Civic. My ECU cut out fueling at 120MPH

Not sure how he got a little 1.5L to 137MPH.

Default not that you'd ever be that irresponsible and take a car up to those kind of speeds on public roads

Default there are TWO ways to increase top speed...

Most ppl only think of the first method - add HP.

Reducing aerodynamic drag works just as well. A Cessna 150 has 110 HP and can easily do 120 MPH. Tho there IS only so much one can do to reduce drag of a car.

Just say'n... :P
