149, with a lazy puter a lil higher before it kicks in

I thought it was 150mph? I know it's just 1 mph but still. Guess I was wrong.

f**********ck I was only 9 MPH from the rev limiter. Sh!t man, I was going 220 km/h. I was trying to hit the limit, but had to get off the highway cause my exit came to fast :P

oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

njtls

its so hard for my car to get to 140 after i hit 130...i swear somethign swrong with my car...i need to track it and see if it runs decent numbers

Road & Track lists the top speed of a 2002 TL/S @ 150 mph. I've seen 130 and started getting nervous (cops, ya know................)

vandy786

I've seen posts of 153MPH but that may have been with a tailwind or, for all we know, the crazy person might have been going downhill. Top speed published in magazines is a consensus 149/150mph though.

Twenty03 Type-S

Top speed = 85 mph.

You shouldn't be driving any faster than that.

Damn, what OPEN road in NJ r u able to go that fast? :wow: State troopers don't play that in NJ!

128, I-95, SE GA!

i was clocked an 156 by a friend who was a cop befor the limiter kicked on. since getting the new ECU with the trans it cuts my funn off at 150, but like i said before sometimes the computer is a little lazy.

Mr Zipps

280 east by livingston and east orange. There is a nice stretch right when you come over the hill. I hit the rev limiter it was only 147...

I was by myself on one run with and without A/C. I got 138ish out of it. I tried it again several times with the windows open and closed, no A/C. Still 138. Whatever I did, still couldn't get over 139. I've read the theoretical is close to that and many things have to be done to get past it. Lowering and power increase are just a couple. There is a governer on our cars and I don't remember exactly what the number is. In any case, the top speed is not soo important. How you get there is!

120, ocean parkway, non type s. Also had 4 people in the car, got a picture of it. Could have pushed it more but not with other poeple in the car, Just remember, Its not top speed, its style, Get rimmed up before u get rev'd up

njtls

exactly where i did it....there seems to be a lack of police on 280...but 280 gets pretty curvy and potholes are a huge problem....

BlackShadow

Exactly.

That's where I hit 147 mph in my TL too.

njtls

looks like we all live in the same area

Ya our car is fast, and well built car with a solid engine like ours can get on up there - I hit over 120 in my 1990 Chevy Truck it wasnt all stock but still....you just dont want to get caught or your driving days are OVER!!!! so be carefull

145mph so far and the car was still pushing, long open road 4:45am. Had a Trans-Am convertible (V8) trying to keep up but at 125mph he started to slow down and it looked like at 127mph he hit a rev limiter because I just kept on going pass 130, 135 and I can tell he stayed that fast(127 or so). Now I don't know if he had a rev limiter but it looks like it. I do know that a WS6 (I think those are the numbers) will go 156 but I guess is different for the regular T-Am. Any ideas on this?

When my cousin wanted to see what my car could do, I took it all the way up to 140 mph before I pansied out. It got to that speed pretty quick and I'm sure I could have gone 10mph more. However, I'm not trying it again. If I know my car can do it, why bother going over the occasional 90mph?

To njtls:
"its so hard for my car to get to 140 after i hit 130...i swear somethign swrong with my car...i need to track it and see if it runs decent numbers"

I had the same problem. My car was only 3 weeks old at the time. Being in OH now, I don't have a stretch of road long enough and free of cops like I did when I tried the first time. Same as you, it pulled all the way up to 130 and every mph after that made me think of getting out and pushing it (with a friend of course!). I figure those that have seen 150 have different air than I had. I'll try again after I install the CT Icebox and lower the car with my Tein SS's. The reduction in frontal area of the car alone should get me past 140. Now I have to survey the area for a good stretch of road free of cops.
