I wouldn't be too worried, how often are you going to be going that fast?

I drive in km/h ... always freaks out my passengers ...

Unless you get caught in the wrong gear, 120 should come pretty quickly. Slight incline don't matter much.

My car maxed out on a slight uphill incline at 136-140mph with a passenger weighing about 160lbs, I myself am around 180-190. My top was also down. I am awaiting a chance to get up to 150 with the top up, I am not so sure the car will be able to do it with the top down, but who knows could have just been the incline that stopped me.

I do feel that the S is a little slow to get up to its top speed.
(I also have a Turbo II RX7 highly modified)

As for around town, It doesn't really feel as if its underpowered at all.

I normally find myself ahead of traffic from a stop only taking the tach to 4K.
But I can tell that traffic does seem to driv faster around my car.

At least the "1" works
