I hit 124 ish with a light incline and someone drafting me. When I was drafting them I was going 145ish on the pullout, then quickly slowed to 125-128.. This is also with everything out of the car- all my fun clarion crap and 1 175 lb person in it... it also had 1/3 tank. So Woot.

Are we not talking about a bone stock 2.0 here? I could believe 125ish maybe but another
17 mph is gonna tough to grind out, don't you think?
I SURE my car won't do it!

Yeah I've gotten mine to squeek past 130 for a few seconds... till I saw a cop, then I wapred my rotors At the time I had a Kartboy and the baffles removed form my airbox, so to whoever says the P5 cant hit 130, blow me AND my car. I have a video, but its tape so I have no idea how to upload it
