I meant the other guy who said 'the top speed is the speed limit on the
road you are driving on'.

I bought the car new.  I had also read about the governor that would limit
the speed.  (I read it to be 125MPH).  That's why I was surprised to see the
speedometer go past that point.   It is possible that the car did only get
up to 125, 130, or 135 (depending on what the governor is actually set at)
and that my speedometer was innaccurate by 10-20 MPH at those speeds, but I
never actually felt the car hit an accelleration "limit" per say.  It just
gradually slowed accelleration until it wouldn't accellerate any more.  I
imagine a governor would have hit that speed mark and the car wuld just
suddenly stop accellerating with a more abrupt drop in accelleration, but I
could be wrong.  Of course, I never had the opportunity to test it a second
time.  I live in the Dallas area and there aren't very many roads around
here with little enough traffic to make those speeds anything less than
suicide.  I only got out of the city with an open highway that one time.  I
later traded that car on a new 2001 4-door (for the family) when I took the
98 coupe in to the dealer for transmission repair.  It was one of those many
Accords with transmission issues.

Part of the reason why I mention the possibility of the speedometer being
that innaccurate is because I would regularly compare my speedometer reading
to the radar reading on one of those Police
"here's-your-speed-you-need-to-slow-down-trailers" that was set up on
various roads.  I found that when my Speedo read 40MPH, the radar trailers
showed 37-38MPH - showing a 2-3MPH innaccuracy in my speedometer at 40MPH.
I imagine if this was calculated out all the way up to 135MPH, my speedo
could easily have been off by 10MPH or more.  I guess though, the
innaccuracy was a good thing.  It always told me I was going a little faster
than the Police radar showed.  I'm sure that saved me a few tickets.
