I raise the :bs: CRSX in not the most beleiveable site in the world. Anyone saying that they are getting a stock RSX-s past 145-147 is flat out full of BS. The car simply doesn't have enough horsepower and torque to do it. Just because the speedo goes to 160 mph doesn't mean it can. Now I will believe 160Km per hour which is just barely less than 100mph. One clue as to the top speed of the car is the speed rating on the tires. The manufacturer is required to put tires on the car that have a speed rating that exceeds the expected top speed of the car. Stock tires on the RSX-s are V-rated which is good to 149mph.
