I maxed out my old 04 STI as well at about 155 when the rev limiter kicked in. I tried this in my S2K, but chickened out at about 130mph with top down. Just didn't feel right. The STI hit the top speed faster than any other car I owned, so it didn't turn me scared. Those days of driving high amounts of speed on an open highway like a fool are over for me though.

I went 127 in my 07 Si coupe.
137 Top down s2k
145 Top up s2k

both with Cr wing and front lip. I got rid of the wing now so this weekend I'll see what she can do without the extra downforce on the rear. I'm expecting to top her out.
