Default Top speed of INSIGHT

Does anyone know the top speed of the insight? I remember i read it to be 80mph. That seems a lil low to me. I'm asking because i was driving on the highway tongiht and a insight passed me at about 75-80mph. I actually think he was racing a 5th gen prelude and a civic. Not too sure. But he passed me pretty quickly.

Yea I thought it was 90, but I dunno if thats cause lack of power or gearing. Wouldn't it be fun to swap out the insight motor and punt in an H22A or soemthing fun.

technology costs a lot of money and honda looses over a grand on each insight made. they weigh about 1800 lbs. top speed is 90mph, governed because of the weight.
