It's really a punctuation issue and not a grammar one. Point being unless you use correct grammar to the best of your abilities 100% of the time you should try to address the question asked and not his English use skills. Being that you were unable to identify the difference between a punctuation issue and a grammar issue I would say you are not the end all be all of this knowledge.
OP Your car is governed at 130mph roughly.
Our cars effectively have two overdrive gears. 6th gear's main reason is save fuel and engine wear and tear. This allows the engineers to lower the previous gears even lower than normal for faster acceleration. All in all your car just doesn't have the power to push faster than 130 in 6th gear due to things like drag.

And IT guy, if you were asking the OP where the top speed runs happened in hopes that he would tell you interstate so you could jump his bones and tell him how dumb or foolish that is I suggest you keep your nose out of his buisiness and don't worry about where he did it..Got it?

Sure speeding is technically speeding...but there is stupid...then there is retarded. I speed all of time (usually around 5-7 over) and have been foolish enough to go 130+ mph on public roads before. I know it was stupid, but I luckily never killed anyone.
With good tires, the Si traveling at 70 mph (over any speed limit in my state) would take roughly 235 ft to come to a stop.
With the same tires, the Si traveling at 130mph would take roughly 707ft to come to a stop. That's well over two football fields and three times as many feet.
In this case, speeding isn't just speeding.
If your theory made any logical sense, a ticket for 1 mph over and one for 38 mph over would share the same penalties and fines.

K5 was just making a point that the dude's typing was annoying to read which is fine by me. People on here talk sometimes like they live in the hood or from out of the country which is annoying and it needs to be addressed.

I hate people that think they need to tell you where you should and shouldn't be speeding. If I saw you out I'd run your *** off the road at 120 and laugh as I put your *** in a ditch
Speeding is speeding, so until you drive at or under the speed limit at all times you should just keep your coc sucker shut.

I have my doubts that the OP is pulling all of these top speed runs on a dyno.

I've never taken my car to 130mph, it's not fast enough to do it on the track but a quick look at the gearing does show the car will have an issue pulling to that speed in 6th.
