You are crazy for asking a Honda dealer :slap:
The Accord is drag limited to about 130-135...I've had it to 138 but it took forever and it was on a downhill section of a Thruway chasing a Porsche. That story is around here somewhere. The car takes forever to accelerate from 110 onwards...mainly due to the 4 speed automatic. it ain't geared for high speeds.
