Revlimiter 05's?
I have an 05 and i can rev in gear up to 6-7k..........is there something wrong with my car is it only on MR's that have the rev limiter. Plus i know alot of you are going to probably flame but i also hit 160 in it( nobody was on the road 3am stright away fro about 10 miles so id ecided to see what the car had) and my buddy in his mr said 05's and and his mr cut off at 140? Should i talk to the dealer about the rev limiter or just be happy i dont have one.

As far as top speed, I dont know why the MR would be limited at 140 and you aren't until 160. Maybe tire speed rating differences? I thought all the evos had the same exact tires though. You got me

As for going 160, regular factory speedometers are not accurate at such high speeds, so it's likely you weren't actually going that fast.
