Mmm there's some pretty heavy wind in Southern California this weekend. I could feel my car being buffetted as I was driving at about 80. Kinda scary to think what the wind could do to you at 130.
Glad I didn't do another top speed run this time around cause there were a buncha cops poised on the road ready to kill =) Guess there's not really a piont after you've done it once anyhow, just burning fuel/oil.

Dude that's the biggest pile of horse dung I've ever heard. I doubt very much the tSX adapts to your driving, and will go "faster" if you drive the car harder. If you belive this, there are bridges you could buy. In regards to roads around Toronto you could go faster than 150km. That's a joke try anywhere on the 401. I've done 160 km/h with in a camry, and volvo on the 401 several times. I've done at least 160km/h in Vancouver, now I don't drive this speed often, but its damn easy in a TSX.

when u keep driving below 2500-3000rpm for a week or so the car will feel sluggish with buildups inside the engine, the VTEC partially close the valves and intake at low rpm
u have to rev to VTEC a few times to get the car running clean and good
like my TL, sometimes i floor it on the street and it won't response that well if i drive very mild for a long time, but if i am driving on the track and the car response right away since it's already running clean
that's why u hear ppl say hitting VTEC sometimes will make ur engine good

i have hit 240km/h on 401, 404, and 400 a few times, it's not hard at all
the TSX, however took me a long time to get up to 222km/h b4 it couldn't go anymore

He's not partially right, he's still wrong. The TSX has not "adapted" to your driving style, its just deposits in the engine, which are causing a decrease in engine performance. So he' still wrong.[
