    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...

    the fastest ive been (in the VX) is 90MPH. I'm sure it's put together well enough to hit the limiter but I jus don't want to risk the AWD system.
    but talking about speed, I've done 125 in my old 4runner, atleast 100 in an astrovan, and 150 in my moms old Bimmer. My buddy cruised next to my 4runner in my fox body mustang, and other cars have been past 100 but I'm not gonna post them (family members wouldn't be happy) LOL

    appears we have our answer now
    but I agree with other posters, it's not like too many people will be trying to prove it correct or not
