Doesn't the wrx have a governor? I think by law they have to limit the car to how fast the tires can go without blowing.

I've pegged the speedometer in my '02 WRX in 5th gear; had atleast a thousand rpm's before it'd redline, but it has a few modifications and a lot of aerodynamics... I hear at the higher speeds a stock speedometer loses accuracy though..?

On the road race track I work at I've done 105 with my slicks on the car. Other than the racing tires its a stock 04.

Are u sure? Road and Track tested a 2003 Wagon Automatic. It maxed out at 149.
