Top Speed in 4th??
Early this morning (1:00A) I hit the rev limiter in 4th gear. I was busy watching up ahead and forgot to look at the speed on the Hud. How fast was I going?

I'd beg to differ. At 6600 rpm in 4th, you should have been at 149 mph.

:iagree: I second this answer. I have never hit the limiter in 4th, but I know it will pull over 140 mph because I have done that.
