I guess it varies on the car... funny cause my friend who has a 02' Eshift I drove his and topped his car out at 140 and hopped in my now modded 01' and went 147-148 before...

just curious, where do you take your car up to 140?? I always ran out of road when I hit 120

Here's a better question..
Are these numbers because of the spped limter? If not, what is the real top speed that the engine and transmission can handle?

Shouldn't the car be able to be up in the 150+ (maybe 200?) range?
