What car do you have? The GSR gears are shorter. The LS/GS/RS gears are the same. Does your car just run out of power at 120mph? I'm pretty sure there isn't a speed governor. I know I dont have one on my GSR.

Is your ECU JDM? most JDM ecus have a 120mph cut off.

You really don't need to be driving that fast on a public road.

I completely agree. In North Dakota however, it is rather safe seeing as there are no people inhabiting this God forsaken cold plain. My GSR will easily clip 140mph...with plenty of juice left. Redline limited by my calculation based on gearing and tires, it should run out of steam around 168mph with my Falkens and 172mph with my BFG Drag Radials. I do not plan to find out though
