You can keep it in 3rd till about 120, then shift to 4th, but yeah it starts taking a while to get anywhere after that.

damn you act like you take it up past 120 every day crazy mofo

Anyway, it's like that with any car, the faster your going, the harder it gets to keep excelorating. Mods will help your topend a little, but I don't think anything is wrong with your car.

eh, let's call it a "protective feature"...

after all a speeding ticket for doing 110 isn't as bad as a ticket for 115 or 120.
