Question What's your top speed?

We all know what stock DSM's can accomplish for a top speed. Just thought it would be interesting to see some of the modified numbers. So, be honest, and let's here what you've got it up to.

a Stock GSX will do 168.47mph at 7300rpm. This is calculated with stock gear ratios, wheels, and tires. If you don't believe me do the math yourself. It may be drag limited before it gets there though, I've never taken mine much above 120ish

This is straight from vfaq.com
"Top speeds will obviously vary with the modifications to the vehicle. However, the top speeds for stock vehicles are in the following neighborhood:
- 1G AWD: around 140 MPH / 225 km/h
- 1G FWD: 140 MPH / 225 km/h
- 2G AWD: somewhere around 130-140 MPH.
- 2G FWD: some cars are speed limited to 130 MPH"

that is not taking into consideration if the speed limiter is disabled on the FWD. If it is disabled then I believe it is around 170ish.

I have a 3.55 final drive ratio with a .72 fifth gear. Do the math ;-)

Of course, that's all theoretical. I've never even tried.
