Top Speed of V6?

[LXcruiser]

What is the official top speed of the V6 Optimas?

Mine stock tops out at about 125-130 mph but i've heard of other people going as fast as 137.

The V6 Optima has been seen to go as high as 136-137 while drafting. With a mere 170 bhp, the Optima struggles on the top-end.

If you need any tips on easy (and cheap) things you can do to the car to increase the top-end, just let me know!

While its not cheap, $390 will get you a reflashed ECU from Powerchips. Then you could really take advantage of the 2.7L.

I didn't think that they did tuning for Optima's... correct me if I am wrong, please...

But yeah, nice suggestion Optima... getting the ECU reflashed is a great way to add power for cheap. There are a few other sites that also offer ECU flashing services (you usually have to send it in and be without it for a few days/weeks). I may post some links later if you want any.
