Top Speed????? WTF!
I was pretty sure that people on this forum were taking their cars in to the 140's and I want to to know how the fuck you got that to happen, my car stopped accelerating on the the QEW this weekend at 122 in 4th gear. What the hell is that? How do I take the governor off.

reading old threads it looks like the 3.0 isnt limited at all, the 2.3/2.3 autos are limited in the 120s, but the manuals arent. ive only taken mine to 120 so i couldnt tell you for sure.

you need some more engine mods before you can go past 120.
with I/H/E on my car, i was able to get it past 140.... eventho it took a while. the potential is there, it just needs some helping along.

from 80 - 110 is no problem but form like 115 - 140+ is kinda slow but it is a bit faster than a late 90's camarro, so yeah the 3.0s are fast and can hit 140 no prob.

I didn't feel real comfortable in my 98 3.0 at 135, so I backed off. Didn't sound like I was doing the motor any favors by doin' that either.
Had a loaned 2002 TL 3.2 at 143 and ran into traffic and it was still pulling. Aint no gov. on those that's for damn sure.

i went 140 going down to LA...
but then again.. the weather was good.. not too much wind.. and no traffic.. and a killer stretch of road..
(this was back when i had no intake either)
^ the conditions where good for me though
try getting e/h and then front airdam and rear spoiler.. you'll definitely be able to go 140

My third goes close to 120 before i switch to D4. Your car is rev govered so it won't go to redline in the final gear...

GPSd is a GPS daemon that allows one to recall GPS data from a receiver. It's mainly used to collect positional data; however, with that I assume you could calculate speed.
I assume ShibbyDevil meant 153 mph?? I'm not sure, but if he/she did, then that's friggin fast.
