I've had mine up to 125 (I thought there was a speed gov.??), with power left. I think it would top around 135 or so.

I have been up to about 125 as well. I ran out of road, but I was still accelerating. I didn't feel any govenor - yet.

I've been over 120mph as well. There isn't a governor, it's drag limited. From the acceleration rate above 120mph, I would think the top speed under ideal conditions would be in the low 130 range. I don't think our Vibes are the most aerodynamic especially with the roof rack.
