Edit: You have an auto tranny, so would that play a role in the speed limiter? I've heard of guys getting to 125+ in their Civics.
It's probably possible to go 125mph going down hill only if you're close to 120mph, since the computer can't prevent you from rolling downhill speed increase. The comp just cuts fuel off at 120mph
