I don't think so, I'll be heading south on I-75 to get to southwest Florida.
That would make a great 1st leg, about 10 hours to Tooele from Rocklin.

1.4t manual top speed in 4th is ~124 way up on the RPMs and starting to fall off on power. Pretty sure you could top out a stock sonic in either gear. I don't like prolonged operation near the redline so I always click 5th at ~122mph.
SwordSmith. Don't ya know I get my best mpg topped out in 6th.. its double hypermiling. *hyper speed+ hyper mpg* I sometime refer to it as ludecris speed ;p

My power continues to build right up until the nanny cuts me off, so I try to shift somewhere just short of that. That means I was starting to think about shifting to fifth at 125. There's no reason I can think of (when I'm pushing for power that is) to shift up until the gear I'm in starts to run out of power. Get going fast enough (140? I have a spreadsheet showing some theoretical shift points somewhere around here) and shifting up to 6th would be in order.
Its not that I don't use 5th and 6th, they are nice cruising gears that help push the mpg up... I just know that when I want the go juice it's down in 3rd until 88-96 or so, and then 4th for a few more seconds (it really doesn't take long to get to 125) and after that I really can't say from experience.
On-Ramp pull is 1 2 3 6, I never even glance at 4th or 5th, since I'm only gunning it up to 70 or 75, whatever speed traffic is moving at, then right into efficiency mode unless I need to pass or something.

I just received my third tune from Trifecta. I was rather surprised at this one. I had been asking about removal of the speed limiter. They stated they would only do this if I upgraded to Z rated tires. After a polite back and forth, which included me asking what type of proof they needed that I had, in fact, upgraded, and them asking back what kind of tire I was looking at, the new tune showed up. I assume it is sans speed limiter. Don't know for sure. Wish I could find some sort of race track someplace to find out! Nevertheless, I have not yet upgraded my tires, so am hesitant to max it out. But I sure wonder how fast it will go now! FWIW...

So I have tried multiple times to get my car over the 113 mph govern and it won't. So now the question is has anyone tried a top speed in a 2013 model?
