I've never hit it. My maximum drag limited speed has been 147, therefore the limiter is immaterial since you will never reach it unless going downhill or with a tailwind.

Vtech - I don't recall but assume you have the A-Spec kit. Do you have the small lip spoiler or the larger one? I recall seeing an article come out before these were even announced from R&T (i think) that stated that the smaller lip was actually "slightly" more aero-dynamic.

I recall reading a measured topend of 152mph on the 6MT and I think it was drag limited. (I'll check my mags when I get home.)

155mph is fine with me.

I did 165mph in my Formula when it was only a 11.02 car. I could do 200mph now but I would probably crash before I got that fast.
