    As Zu said, the speed limiter kicked in at 117.71 MPH on the dyno, but that, of course, is without wind resistance. Later I kicked myself for not trying the alleged trick of turning on the four-way flashers to defeat the limiter to see if it's true. That speed was in 3rd gear @ 5800 RPM. let's see <scratching head>.. gear ratio divided by redline... times actual speed... carry the <muffled mumbling>... The theoretical top speed of a non speed-limited stock VX in a vacuum (no wind resistance) would be 168;eekp;
