Default Top Speed???

Anyone know a good way to see what your top speed is?? Just wondering what mine would be without getting a ticket.

top speed on a v6 will only read 120 mph. it sucks. i hit 120 at around 3200 rpms in 5th and let off at 5300 rpms.

I dunno much about the V6, but the GT is around the low to mid 140s stock. Get some minor mods, and a good tuning, and youll be a little bit higher.

I can only do 120MPH because of my speed limiter.[:@] 140 sounds about right. How much does it change if you have 3.73's?

I think your figures are off, because that would put you at 198mph

I took it up to 140mph a couple weeks ago, and I was accelerating faster at 140 then I did at 120 It was invigorating to say the least but I just couldn't stay in it
