Top out at 100?

Why does my car seem to top out at 100? Could my speedo be broken?

Or your car. 20 year old speedos can be unreliable though.

well does it FEEL like you're going faster then 100, or does it feel consistent even with your foot on the floor?

BTW, mph right?........is it an N/A?

Even the N/A without any aero kit should top out at 130-something.

Hell, my crappy old nissan pickup truck with like 130 horsepower and more drag than a barn door topped out at 110.
