Speedlimiter.
In the M3 thread we were talking about a speed limiter for a short time, but we never really got into it.
I was wanting to know more about it. I hear some had them, some didnt.
I have a 02 gt 5spd, and I hit 125 just playing, I havent tried to go past it.
Does anyone know what speed it stops at? Or is their any other surefire way to identify if the car has a limiter?

RE: Speedlimiter.
Well I don't believe the 02GT 5 speeds have speed limiters, because after I did my gear swap (before I corrected the speedo), I went out on the interstate and snapped a photo of the speedo wrapped all the way around well past 150

RE: Speedlimiter.
Not talkin about rear end gears.
Well I am, but not the gear I mentioned above.
My car requires a Speedometer Recalibration Gear.
I know the newer cars are all electronic and crap, but neglected to say.
So i'll resay what I meant.
With a set of 4.10 rear end gears, without recalibrating the speedo.
It will climb very fast.

RE: Speedlimiter.
You won't hit redline in 5th without some serious (like 1000) hp with the stock gearing. You likely just ran out of steam. Pick a cool dry day to do your top speed run for the best results. Different parts of the country will yield different top speeds.

RE: Speedlimiter.
A while back when I raced the G35 I started up a hill and climed up to 145 mph (on the hill) and topped out there. If I were on flat level ground I would have knocked out 150 or 155 probably. If I were going down a long down hill... there is no telling what I would have done. LOL
