    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

    Hi guys thanks for the interesting results i think it just goes to show how much you all care for the VX to not be racing it
    however in the uk we have a Frontera and Trooper V6 with the same engine and ecu - not limited with a top speed so the idea it there , but i do heed the words of warning and i agree the TOD maynot be up to the job but then again being a JDM i have a 2wd position on the Range change
    i may well do a remake of the video using a ferrari or similar
    Cheers
    Steve

    I don't have ECU management that kicks in and kills my accel. Traffic does a good job of that around here, so, top speed of about.... 30.
