Even my '79 Accord could have gotten to 100 mph in 4th, IF it had enough HP (or a steep enough hill I guess). :) As it was, it struggled to get past 80 mph.
Have seen near redline in 4th, and as you say, around 200 kph/125 mph in the 9000.
I used to think it was cool when my car had the automatic, how it would finally shift into 4th at 105-110 mph. :)
