Thats weird that u can't go faster. When I maxed my 01 4dr lx it was completely stock. I went 130mph in 4th all the way to redline. There were no rpms left to go into and 5th gear completely crapped out. So from my experiance 4th gear will go the fastest and my car didn't show a sign of governor.

And I think that's absolutely asinine. Why should they have $49,500 more of their money taken away? If you like it so much, move to Finland. Disproportional taxes and disproportional fines are asinine. The rich pay enough in taxes.

I've done 138 in my Accord chasing a Porsche Targa. He won, but 15 minutes later he got his ass pulled over by the cops while doing 100-110 just after my valentine one started going nuts

Maybe, maybe not. The Accord's main problem is that it lacks aerodynamics..the engine is in its sweet spot, but it's "drag limited" to 130-135.

The only real limiting factor on the car is the ECU which generally on Accords cuts out anywhere between 125 and 135. It depends on model of ECU not the car itself...if that is removed then you could run it all the way to redline and hold her there for virtually unlimited speed.
