stauffiesgtp, in my 03 gtp, the governor kicks in at 108 if im in 3 instead of d on the shift indicator...make sure that your in overdrive mode or it wont go past 108....other than that, go get a pcm! lol

Thought I might revive this thread, but yeah I have been pulled over for doin well over one hundred. Here in Dallas there is a 2-lane HOV lane and me and my bro were driving on it on a Sunday afternoon (no trafic at all) and I was like "watch this" I got away with a 80 in a 60 ticket. Coolest cop I ever met haha.

i have a boring little 3.1 2001 SE and mine has gone 112, usually its about 105-108

A gtp at 105 mph, that can't be write because I drove my se at 110 before, I got to 105 without to much hesitation but getting to 110 took me a while, but I got there then it cut off which scarred the hell out of me because that was first time doing that and it will be the last.

I've hit 116 once. What happens when the speed limiter kicks in? I didn't notice anything, so I don't know if I topped out or not, but I was to busy watching the guy in my rear view mirror to pay attention to anything else but him and the road in front of me. hehe

You'll know it when you hit the speed limiter. All accleration stops.

I've never hit the limiter in the car but I have hit it in my truck 98mph. LOL.

110 in my GT going down a hill.

I'm afraid to do it in the GTP right now because of the crap tires and bad hub. It does get to 100 in a hurry though.

ace fighter .... you didnt know because you were looken in the mirror.... if i even go up to 100 i have both hands on the wheel and my eyes are locked on the road...

^ x2

I usually don't like taking the car up past 80-85... I've done it before, but I start thinking of all the small things that could happen which would ruin everything...

Yep... I've been 100+ several times... every time I do, I keep thinking "I'm such an idiot, why am I doing this?"

Hasn't stopped me yet unfortunately

heh... I'm sure I'll do it again at one point or another... I just tend to be a little more cautious on the speed side of things. Now, if we're talking about hitting the freeways like an auto cross track...

uhmmmmmmm.... yeah....

Yeah, call me stupid, call me whatever....but im the type of guy that wants to be doing something really cool (or dumb if you will) when I die. Like doing 105 hitting a squirrel, bouncing off a sign into a tree lighting the trees on fire exploding my gas tank spinning my car around 5 times and hitting a post wrapping my car around it. Cuz who else will of done that? nobody...just me but i guess my opinion is totally different.......


ANYWAY, my SE only does 105, even down hill, in OD.....it doesnt shut off, it just doesnt go any faster, in fact...if theres a strong enuf wind it decellerates lmao if i got a pcm for the 3.1 would i be able to go faster???? or is my engine to small :p

No kidding, that's normally how I am. I guess it was the adrenaline or something. I pulled some stupid street racing. I'd started to race the guy once, and hit 80 or so, and he wussed out. Took him a while to catch up to me, but I was watching my mirror, and saw him coming. As much as I hate to say it, in a flat-out drag race, he would have beaten me because he almost had me in the first race. But he never did get in front of me, despite me being in a stock car. hehe

When I knew for sure it was him, stupidity took over. I floored it, and my friend felt the sudden acceleration, even at 60 (I love my car. ) and she knew who was behind me. So we went down the service road to a freeway, until he finally got on it, and I had to turn away from it. There was very little traffic, despite being 6pm, so that's one reason I didn't watch in front of me quite as much as I normally do. But believe me, I tried to test my limitor once before, and when my friend asked how many RPMs I was at at 102, I couldn't tell him because I was watching the road. Thank God for HUDs. lol

After that race, I was repeating "****, that was stupid. Man, that was fun." Over and over. lol It really was stupid though.

Acefighter

what were you racing?(type of car) I thought about smoking this Scion TC yesterday on my way to class but at the stop light i looked over and saw an unmark cop...THANKFULLY i looked over...
