Is this car programed to cut at 140 mph that will suck my cl use to cut a 152mph. has anyone had it up that far yet to find out.:wow:

 

I know a person here claims to have topped out @ 156 with it. Now that I think of it he had a picture of the spedo at that MPH. Howerver Car & Driver claims a top out of 152. So it appears to be somewhere in that range.

 

i read car and drver review it said 140 i guess i will have to find out on my own

 

I took the car up to 140mph

 

It is electronically limited at 152. So is my '97 3.2 though I've only gotten mine to 145 on the track.

 

I`ve got to try it in NYC

 

Please let me know where you can speed in NYC.



TO greenseed,

I guess that guy was running downhill with free wind, perhaps, his ECU cut the fuel already while his was still rolling down.

 

Where in NYC??

Perhaps on 95 on the way to NYC, but not within city limits.

 

so you had it to 140 no cut out? i have had mine to 130 no lag at all like my cl-s auto....after 110 you had yo wait till 120 for vtec to kick in again:wow:

 

For Vtec at 4700 RPM, under the straight and plain conditions,

5AT 04TL,

2nd gear would be about 48-50 mph
3rd gear 74-77 mph
4th gear 113-118 mph
5th gear 157-164 mph if you remove the limit chip.

 

try the hudson highway no cops ever. i took my dads mini van to 115 where it topped

 

that was with my CL-S not the new tl 04

 

/me looks around...lets keep that between us.

 

On 3rd ave. just time the lights

 

Even my Honda Prelude can reach 140mph, i bet TL could beat that and up to 15Xmph.

 

yeah my wifes TLs struggles after about 110mph, i'am sure the 04 TL (AT) is pretty much the same way...BUT the 6mt should just fly to 140mph+...

 

dude i said i took my TL (AT) to 140 w/out any problems.... i wanted to take it more but then traffice came....

 

Yeah i 've taken my wifes TLS to about 140mph on I-15 going to vegas, BUT it takes forever damm tall 4th..

 

well seems to me new TL is quick...

btw, what year is ur wife's TL

 

On 3rd Ave, you may make someone incontinence on his car if running over 100+, especially the section between the downtown and 100 St. And, tons of bump+potholes may make your TL fly farther than any triple jumper.

My 5AT has no problem to go 120 MPH so far, over I-40. I need to find better roads to go higher. It'd never be NYC.

 

it's an 03 TLs, curious to see if they have changed the gearing for the 04 tl (AT) .. the 01-03 TL's had a tall 4th..no go after 110mph till you hit like 125mph or so..

 

Three words for everyone: Move to Cali

enuff hwys and roads where u can do whatever with ur car, especially central cali.

 

so after all this talk, does anyone know exactly what the top speed is on the 04TL is before the limiter kiidks in. I thought this was a thread about the top speed of a 04 TL!!!

Jim

 

152 mph. This is the case for ALL TL's, 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation.

 

and from doing a search it seems like the TALL 4th is still an issue in the 04 tl AT.. good thing there is a 6mt option
