    just wanted to see what the car could do today i had it to 135 one time but today i was at 125 and it felt like i was hittin a wall and didnt want to climb anymore. i passed the cop at 125 and all he did was sit there lucky day i guess, mustve been eaten a donut. car is basically stock just wondering if theres a reason it wouldnt go past 125 today

    Because the factory tires were only rated for 130 mph.
