Today i was driving on the highway at about 10: 30 at night and decided to hit my max speed since the road was empty. I got to about 120-125 and my car started whining like it was gonna blow up. Was that the fuel line about to be cut or was the engine being hurt?

I heard that only automatics have a speed limiter at 140. The manuals are not speed limited, but drag limited to 155. That is what I have heard, but it might be wrong.

4EAT = electronically limited to 130mph
5MT = boost cut at 130mph, drag limited to 150mph
