It's weird. Why on Ex models, how their clusters read 130mph as their limit, can they really go that far?

Are you talking about old Ex's? All cars with analog gauges have dials that go to higher numbers than the car can actually reach in stock trim.

So when the analog dials say that they're going 130+, then they're really not?

had he left it in 5th it shoulda kept going. 5th ends at 133, and you could hear him put it in 6th. i was going 115 in 5th and the car was still pulling, but i only had the car for a week, and didnt know it very well so i didnt wanna push my luck
