Meaning, they're rated to go 149 and 168 respectively.
Some sports seem to have the lower governor... (cough B L U E S L A T E cough; we pick on the poor guy cuz of that all the time)
S2k is scary as ****e over 120 unless you have some aero... the s2k speedo can be off too, but you can always have it calibrated. AP2 speedos tend to be dead on; AP1's were power limited and read a bit high up top. Mine tops out at 157 on the speedo (limiter in 6th), and according to the math, it's correct, but I didn't have GPS to verify...

Tires on the non-sport are V-rated, while the RE050A are W-rated.

Not true because I maxed out at 150ish I didn't punch it any more cause I was scared I was gonna blow my motor.

I think this is the determining factor here. Mine tops at 142ish limiter in 5th gear. I think the reason there are different speeds is just that it is programmed to kick in at the begining of the last gear. That would explain why the 6mt guys are getting higher speeds than the 5at guys. The limiter stops at the same spot in the rpms it just depends what transmission you have. Thats just my theory on it.
