I got mine up to 124ish around 1 in the morning, I was only aiming for 120 though, so I dunno how much higher it would've gone.

On mine after 126-7 the boost goes to 4-5 psi and the engine slowly accelerates. I have gone 134 then let off cuz the rear was getting light!

I drove around 110 for a half hour in New Mexico last fall. I held it to the floor once and saw 124 after a couple miles.I was told recently that Canadian models have a higher limiter. Can anyone confirm this.

Well, maybe they are compared to $25 'Sigma' specials down at the tire store.

Default Re: Top Speed ?
This says cruiser right? I have a dodge 2.2 minivan. Top speed only 88 mph. Dodge is not supposed to have top speed as in toyota. Instead it is supposed to be a very long distance touring car. Easily driven for 16 hours a day. Maybe a bit longer. No high rpm into corners. A bit more distance coming out of corners. So it is ahead of a chevrolet but slower at the same time entering a corner. Is that more comfortable or what? It also should not try to "spin" . I also have 3 225 6 cylinder dodges. Try a dodge on highway 58 in california. Look at highway 58 on bing maps. mpg for the minivan is around 33 highway at 60 mph and maybe 40mpg at 40mph. I thought I got 60 mpg on the Utah salt flats going 38 mph. I will look for a video of top speed.
