130 easy more then likely, but the ECU might not allow it to reach those speeds

yeah, I think the ECU will stop you from reaching top speed. I could be wrong.....

in all seriousness, car & driver quotes it at 132, IIRC. People have reported 135+ but that could be just due to speedometer error.

With the Hondata,the top speed SHOULD be 156 mph,but i HIGHLY doubt the car has enough guts to overcome drag.Id guess 136 give or take a few mph,on a stock redlined car

highest i've gone is a speedo indicated 135ish with some room left on the tach.

the theoretical top speed given stock gearing & redline is 145ish.

I have hit 138 bouncng off my rev imiter. Also that is going DOWN hill on a 4 lane high way. I have hit 135 on level ground. If I had hondata, with the 7700 rpm rev limit, it probably would pull to 145, but hp would still not be there to go any faster.

I have hit 135 about 7 times or more coming back from work.....its becoming at routine! Hahahahahahaha, just kidding

the USDM one has wayyy too short of a gearing to hit above 130... I don't care if your last name is Andretti it isn't going to go above 130 unless you're beyond the redline.
