150mph is fast (claimed top speed) but, the rest of the numbers are s l o w.

I bet it would take a minute to reach 150.

What's the big deal? 90 (as shown in the pic) is not that fast - hell, I do that on an unsealed road in my Honda Accord regularly on my way to or from work!

There's a big difference between 90mph and 90kph, gak. And I think the big deal is that it should be going a lot faster at that many RPM. Definitely looks like it isn't in high gear. I've got a non-turbo Honda Prelude that my son drives which I know is good for about 145mph at redline but I've only had enough isolated straightaway get to 120. It's pretty good in the curves, though, better than a CTS that's doing what it's supposed to I would think.

I'm not talking about 90km/h (I can and did see the mph on the speedo) - I was talking about 150km/h (which is approx 90mph). 90km/h on an unsealed road my mother could do!
