I couldn't decide between anything goes and here so move it if you wanna.
Anyways - I'm sitting shotgun in my buddy's '02 WRX cruisin' down the 163 with my buddy in his '03 SVT Focus behind us. My friend who's driving and I get to talking about top speed, gear ratios, rev limiters and such. (My friend in the SVT says he can do 160 in his FOCUS, but that's ANOTHER story... ) So my point is, WRX guy says he has a rev limiter at 135mph. I say, have you ever hit it? He says, Lets try! B) At 142mph he got scared and let off because my passenger-side mirror sounded like it was going to tear off! But no rev limiter. I couldn't find any specs but the dealership affirms the 135mph one. What's up? Were we just mere milaseconds away from slamming into a wall of fuel asfixiation? Or is the rev limiter BS and we can do 150+? (We weren't even at 6k RPMS) Anyone own a wrx and alot of land? If no-one knows, we'll hit up the desert this weekend and let ya know.
