What I can't stand is, if the governer is set at 127mph, wy do they istall a speedo that says 140? is pointless I tell you, I tried that one time as well and it looked like to me it cut off at 127mph.

VVTIGUY

maybe for looks, maybe the car has the potential, the main reason it is set at 127 is obviously safety. However there are ECUs you can get that will turn off that damn governer.

Please don't do that again on public road......

I can't think of anywhere around here where I could hit 127 without ending up smeared across four miles of pavement.

Lol....believe me their are TONS of stretches of deserted roads here in Los Banos, I'll do it again once I start puting performance mods into the car and that wont be for a while.

You should be proud of yourself for being a complete moron!

Maybe next time you'll crash into an innocent family minding their own business and kill someone. You're scum...

^^^ what he said.

I'm glad I read this whole thread. It went on way too long with out someone bringing up the government limiter. Its 127 and anyone that's ever done it knows that the speedo reads 127 (halfway between 125 & 130) not 130. It will not go faster. Not sayin that everyone is BSing, just agreeing with most that said its your mind playing tricks due to the adrenaline rush. What I remember about my tC is that I still had room left on the RPM meter but could not pass 127. I think this means the Stock tC should have the capacity for at least 135. Its pretty aero dynamic looking. When I did it, it felt like nothing 'till about 115. Then it seemed like a life time to get to 125 and 127. I chickened out the first 3 times I tried it. Really gets your heart pumping. Oh yeah, don't ever try this, its really stupid, yada yada yada.

Poison

Okay next time i'll aim my car to the nearest family van...idiot.

emiller

Even without the governer it wont go much faster. 135 maybe.

lilman4210

It is kinda funny how you went 130mph considering that the governor kicks in right around 120mph (I know from experience)

Lucky4tC

The gov. kicks in at 127mph, there is no way around it unless you reprogram your ECU. You cannot just add a chip to take away your speed limiter, oh and a BMW 330i is not a fast car so your SRT-4 should have pulled far away.

Be careful dude, we have all seen so many accident posts on here! Good luck and drive safe!

You can't win, man. There's always the people who think you're nuts, then the others who don't really mind. Next time you might as well just lie and say you were on a track to avoid the whole deal, I know I will.

boostedscion

oh yea the auto bahn is the best.. taxi driver took the benz to 130mph with out his seatbelt too.. driving like its nothing to him.

STAT

I tend to stick to neighborhoods, and school arias…. or at least that’s obviously what most people here think , and that there is never a clear open road at 2 am . But then again their mommy’s probably don’t let them out that late….

I want to start by saying that driving that fast anywhere is dangerous. Just because you're on a deserted road doesn't mean that something won't go wrong. An animal could run out in front of you, you could have a blowout, you could simply overcorrect and lose control of the car, etc. And at speeds over 100mph any one of those things has the serious potential to end your life. And for what? Because you wanted a few seconds of adreneline?

I know many of you are young and naive and think "That can't happen to me" but I assure you it can and will if you keep driving the car that way. Especially if you're racing someone else. They could have a blowout and lose control of their car and take both of you out.

That being said:
125 in my 95 Saturn SL2
150 in my 300zx
185 in my friend's Oldsmobile Toronado
105 in my 05 WRX, I don't really like to push it that high on the streets anymore

Save it for the track, it could save your life.

Poison

W/e you say hypocrite

xAwahl

why do companys make their cars go even 127mph? They know that some people are going to try and push the limit. Oh yeah and ive drivin a lot faster than 130 mph...the GS limited out at 155. I had it up there once on a backroad in the middle of nowhere. If your safe doing it and realize the risk then im all for ya, just be safe and dont do it with others around who dont know your doing it
