What is the top speed you guys' TL? Looks like 115 mph is the top speed of mine. No matter how hard I tried to push the gas pedal, it won't go any faster.

 

115? Try taking the parking brake off, you should get almost 150, bro!

Please Don't do it!!!

It is capable of 140-150. But lets keep it safe out there. I don't want to hear about another TL accident.

 

from your profile, I see you have a 2001 TL, therefore you can easily hit 140mph. I've hit 139 (don't b!tch at me guys!) in my 2000 and could have easily done more. That was a while ago. I have gotten smarter and don't even try that stuff anymore. I don't recommend you do it either, but the car IS capable of it.

I don't think it is a good idea to go to such high speeds in these cars on public roads...

just my 2c

2000 Naples Gold 3.2TL/Navi - Factory Stock but with up-graded tires

 

Don't you guys have some kind of electronic speed control on your cars? I heard they set the speed limit of 115 mph or something for accord. I am not sure what's the limit of TL. BTW, I have a 2001 TL.
Did you guys really try with that high speed (say, 140 mph)? Last Christmas, I tested my new TL on a two-lane highway near death valley. I knew nobody around me in about 3 miles. It looks like they also set 120 mph speed limit on my car.

 

By my understanding - correct me if I am wrong - most of the car after 90s have some kind of electronic speed control. I am not sure how it works. But obviously for most of the cars on the street the top speed is something like 115 to 120. I heard MB or BMW doesn't have this speed control because they don't have speed limit in German. But I am pretty sure cars made in this country do have a speed-control set by the manufacturer.

 

Well, actually Bimmer and M-B "DO" have speed limiters on them. Usually set at 240km to 250km depends on the model. I think our TL is good for 149mph, but again our stock tires are not meant for such high speed. It's just crayp all-season tires.

 

There is no speed limiter in the TL's. I've had a few cars in the past that had them, for instance my '92 Pontiac Sunbird V6 would cut the engine after 108mph. Like I said, I did take mt TL to 139mph and it would've still kept climbing higher.

Again, don't try it. It's just stupid to go that fast on public roads, which is why I don't do it anymore.

 

I have done 135 in my 96 2.5 TL
and it wasnt struggling..it was actually floating

 

They're V rated, that's good for 149MPH.

 

Was it a demo? maybe they put a limiter?

 

There is no electronic speed control on our TL. I have personally done 145 mph on my 99TL. I don't recommend anyone doing this type of speed. It was just one of those moment.
You can tell if a car has speed control. I rented a Chevrolet Malibu this past New Year's to go to Canada. On an open stretch of highway, I decided to see what it can do. Tell me why when I pushed past 100 mph, the engine decided to cut off on me. I thought it was a fluke so I tried it again. The same shit happened again. WTF, POS!!!

------------------

 

Thanks for the info. Another question is: how about the Crown Vic? I am not trying to outrun the cops, just curious what our TL capable of.

 

The crown vic will stay with you, it my not get up to 130 as fast as you but it will get there(police package only).
