i was racing my this 350z and my friend's saturn sc2 (just for fun) and i couldnt get above 115mph. is there a top speed limiter? i wasnt at redline or anything. before i put my catback on i could only go up to 115 as well the increase of hp should make it be able to go higher if it is just the engine limiting it right? thanks :dsm:

There's a limiter but it's definitely possible to go faster. I've been to 130mph bone stock (except for 18" wheels & a yellowbox).. and I know it took the 35 degree air in January and long straight flat stretch to get there. It was a good 20-30 seconds to go from 125-130. Altough I must say.. I'm never going to get near that in any car again - just too risky and I don't like insurance premiums as they are with a clean record.
 
Dude randomheros 99oz edition hits 145, its a n/a. He's got intake header and a muffler. If he can do that you guys must not be stayin in it long enough!
 
When i had my 420a, i could only get about 130. I never took off any limiter or anything like that, and when i bought it, it was 100% bone stock. I beleive that i was runnin at about 5k, and it just wouldnt pull any more than that. My upgrades were a complete exhaust system, cold air intake, and an msd coil and wires.
