I bought one when they came out and loved it. I pulled trailers for 2 years until the transmission started vibrating a little. I figured it was time to get a truck and traded it in. I really did like it though, it was fast as heck and handled great. I did have it up to 130 on the speedo so I am not sure where the limiter is vs. actual speed. I felt the limiter kick in though...I was pulling strong and just landed at 130. Without the limiter that car had a lot more speed left.
