yes, before you doubt it, the governor has been reset and I have the hp. read my specs in the signature.
Anything over 160 and you not only get tunnel vision, I guarantee you'll ask for more and get addicted to "Top End".

Mine always tops out at about 149-153. Every time. Now this is not because I'm out of pedal, just out of HP. Is it true these cars are wired shut at 150? I'm told that manufacturers will govern the top end of a car based upon OEM tire rating. Any truth to this?
Quite honestly, that is the only concern I have about wrapping these little cars up so fast -
tire failure. Somebody above mentioned the Crossfire seems to 'float' a little at high speeds; that ain't 'floating' you feel, baby, that's the tires expanding.
If you
do- plan on going fast, make sure your tires can take it.
