? 4 triple digit drivers
Here's the scoop. I have a 2002 TL-P. The acceleration from zero to 100mph is decent. However, once I hit 100mph it seems as though some sort of governor kicks it and the acceleration dramatically reduces. Is this normal? Once I hit 100mph what is the average number of seconds that should elapse before I get to 130mph?

Thanks for the info bud. Next time out I'll have to use "sport" mode all the way to see the difference.

in my experience, if you are in 3rd in SS, it will let you stay in 3rd past 100mph, but if you are in 4th and going 90mph and someone tries to pick up a race with you, the damn thing does not wamt to downshift. At least that's how my TL-S is. If I try to downshift from 4th to 3rd at 90mph, "3" will flash for a second and go back to "4".
Back when I had my 300M, I could shift it from 4 to 3 at 100mph and enjoy really nice acceleration.

I just couldn't wait until it dried up to try things out. So I decided to go for a ride on the Interstate during lunch. I gotta admit, I like how it accelerates once you hit 100mph in sport mode. Again, thanks for all the info. It was driving me nuts that acceleration slowed down once hitting 100. I should of asked this question a long time ago.

Bottom line, once you hit 4th gear, even modded, you will lose to most descent V6 out there. I had I/H/E/VAFC and once I hit 4th, a stock VR6 was walking me down and passing me...I was pissed!
