Default Does the S2000 red line at top speed?
Bit of a nerdy question but when I had mine at top speed I don't remember hitting the limiter but this guy clearly does, or is he in 5th?

all i know is it must be a very long staight road.!!

but on the basis the 115mph = 6000rpm, 9000 should be 172.5 on a stock car.

or assuming 8000 rpm similar gearing, 153...

but then would guess speedo will be out by at least 5 mph at that speed anyway

I thought that it was geared for a much higher top speed, but obviously wouldn't do it.

That's why I am

That speed on a single lane road with cars coming the next way? He is a twartz, not a twat!
