Am I the only one who thought this thread was kinda..funny?

Anyway, there's no speed limiter on the USDM SVX, any year. There is on the JDM SVX; it's 180 km/h.

I once worked out the top speed based on stock USDM gear ratios and tires. It worked out to be something like 212 MPH I think. I would go check the log where I was talking to a friend about it, but I'm up in NorCal away from my computer and it's shut down.

Not that the SVX has enough power to get there. Interestingly, when I looked at the stock dyno plots posted in the ECUTunev1.5 thread, the point where the torque and HP curves met was right about where the "rated" top speed was for the '92 SVX, based on stock gear ratios and tires. Worked out to about 157 MPH, I think?
