AP1 is ~155mph drag limited and gear limited around 170mph I believe if you have enough power to overcome the drag.

The AP2 is Gear Limited to about 151-154. The AP1 is Drag limited to about 150ish, but with boost, the AP1 will get up to about 171ish at the rev limiter.

145mph, stock, then the radar detector started to beep. I could have gone a bit higher.

It's in the 160's or low 170's. I have only had it to 120...no need for more. Good luck hitting top-end if that's what you are looking for.

148 Top down, Houston, TX with 4 other S2000s. I have the lip and wing, and passenger - the other S2000s were still pulling slightly - so I think I was definately drag limited..

yes it is, but the first four are a bit shorter.
