Default what is the top speed of the S?

so ive seen videos of the s going like 284 kph and im assuming thats about 170 if my math is right??? I went on a "run" if you call it that with other cars and i hit 120 mph not kph and was at about 6500 i think give or take, so i was wondering has anyone topped out thier s?

I'm not stock, but i do have stock gearing.

im not stock either and i guess what i mean by stock is by the stock ecu because i read on the vidoes on what they put on is a mugen ecu which im sure can take out the limiter, but that said with a stock ecu and gears will it make a difference???

only way you're going faster than what Honda wanted is by swithching out your gears..something lower than 4.10.

Iono...my car felt pretty stable at 150mph..maybe it's because I'm slammed.

I believe the car is drag limited to about 155 for AP1 and about 152 for AP2.

These are both stock cars with top and windows up.

I had my AP1 up to 234 km/h. Thats around 146 mp/h. But I backed off, so I dont know the actual top end.
