Do you have a 2.0L pro? If so, I bellieve that you may have hit 120+, but I don't believe you hit it at 2K RPM.

I've driven with Lost_Concept in his P5 often and his car can hit like 122 for top speed, but definitely not at 2K RPM. Its more like 4500-5500 RPM.
I aslo have another friend that said his top speed in his 2.0 tops out at 121 and he's not the liing type of guy.

So I can somewhat believe him when he says he hit 125, BUT NOT at 2K RPM.

A Sober Si, maybe you didn't read your RPM gauge correctly or maybe this whole thread his BS. I'm not sure, so I'm giving you the small BS flag

The "ignore" settings are in your user profile. You pose a good question though - somehow David Avard is on my ignore list, but when I look at my profile there's nobody in the list. He's not somebody I want to ignore since he speaks English and makes sense . Maybe TheMAN can figure this out for me?

WHAT....at 2k.....my ***....

i was doing 225kph ( speedo reading ...prob not actual )...at 5400rpm in my SOHC...and i have the longer gears that the SOHC come in...so if you have a DOHC ( don't know what you drive...didn't check ) then at the same speed you would be reving higher....don't know about you ...but most of the cars on THIS planet obey the laws of pHiSiKs

Yeah I remember looking at an old post and he came up as blocked. Though that doesn't usually happen for most of his posts. bug?
