    Speedy VX or not so speedy ???

    Hi as you know i am getting my VX in the next few weeks does anyone know if the JDM VX was limited in the top speed area ?
    What is the top speed -they say ? and what have you actually got out of one? the video where they put one against the jet car seems to imply they are pretty quick - but are they or is it all Hype?
    cheers

    I'm betting the top speed would be limited to around 110 or 115. Just a seat of the pants guess but the aerodynamics aren't great, even if it's good for an SUV, and 230 hp pulling over 4400 pounds ain't that great of a power to weight ratio.

    Yea i read that the speed was limited to 115 MPH so i guess thats all the aerodynamics will allow - mind you i bet it gets to 60 quick

    That's all the ecu will allow, IIRC, it cuts ignition at 115.
    When it gets to that speed, it feels like it could still go some more...
