Ditto I did I think it was 160 on my GSXR not sure how accurate that is because I had a sprocket kit on the bike.. I about shitted my pants when I looked at the speedo and yes I never did it again.

I think the fastest I got my TL to go was somewhere around the neighborhood of 125-130 when I raced a S2000 but that was the only time I pushed my car above 100. Most of it is a race from 0-100

Blazing GT

I did 148 in my 04 TL

I believe the type-S is limited to 135 or so

anyone know how to remove the governor chip out of an 07TLS 5At? or is this something i would have to have the dealer do?

NAiL05

Dont know if those rev speed limiters for jdm limiters work but they should. There are a few systems out there.

Bearcat94

No way the dealer would remove it - in a word: "Liability".

It's probably coded into the ECU (and elsewhere?) someplace. Probably not easy to remove/change. Car mags say "electronically limited".

from what i've read from personal experiences in this thread so far it seems like the 5at type-s models are being limited to around 130

from my own experience, i have a 07 base 5at and in ss i hit 120+ in 4th with ease but let off because my turn was coming up, and i dont believe they'd put in a 5th gear in ss for only an extra 10mph and then cut it off.

the salesman who sold me my car said that the car will get up to around 148 and just wont go any faster. i'm not sure if he meant that there was a gov. limiter on it or that the car is pushed as fast as it can go at that point.

JOES05tl

I've hit 162 in 5th gear redlining 7250rpms. Shifted to 6th, it would have taken one full minute to get one more mph, so it just started feeling wrong to keep the car pinned. Drag limited (on my car anyway) to about 160~ Also, car is highly unstable at this speed. Slight bend (barely noticeable) in the freeway had my cars ass-end trying to hop in front of me. SCARY AS ALL HELL-
K, first post in a while. Flame on, right? Have at it, f@ckers

paliknight

you guys are crazy lol. the fastest ive gone was 120, and that was only because i was driving home from canada (to NJ) and i had 4 hours ahead and 350 miles to go. the highway was COMPLETELY empty. i was literally the only car for about 2 hours of driving.

but the limiter on the 5AT type S is 133MPH.

x_X limiter on 5at type s is worst than a tsx... i believe tsx's limited at 137 x_X lol

162 Huh?.
7250RPM? Huh

Back to topic. I hit 133 the other day, felt smooth as ever.

I was too much of a pansy to push any higher

Rick_TL-S

I took my buddies up to 120Mph. They didn't think we were going that fast and couldn't believe the car was driving so smooth.

csmeance

I doubt it was 7250 RPM since honda gauges are known to be off by 200 rpm at the max point, maybe it was 6800-7000. The TL is drag limited really to 160 according to the people that have gotten that high, but the thing is that you will run out of gears and RPM range by the time you hit 155-160. Also 160 in any car is going to be scary if it wasn't built for it, I mean with the wind noise going 80, imagine going double that!

Either way, speeds that high are very dangerous and should only be attempted at the track or on a dyno, or on the autobahn. Don't be dumb and endanger the lives of innocent people.

I wish I'd felt compelled to "never do it again". I always had to top out any bike I rode once I found a suitable empty stretch of four lane highway. I've seen the high side of 180 and that's why I gave up sportbikes. Way too much temptation, but it sure is a rush.

JOES05tl

Hondata tinkered w/ my car yrs back. trip out, huh- I'll see if i can get you guys a pic w/ my tach gauge well past seven grand... Also, thanks for keeping the sh!t-talking to a minimum.

xrvman

I Hit 132 on alligator alley and I let go with both hands to get a pic held the wheel with mah knee have a pic on my phone of my GPS MPH readout. The car seemed much more silent then it ever has... how fast is mach 1 again. LOL The car was tight in steering, smooth as could be, and It was all fun and games till I opened my window and stuck my hand out. I hit my funny bone on the B Pillar. OWW!

Lol I do about 130 on the highway on my way to work in the morning when im running late, but ive done 150 racing my friend in his trans am now that can be alil nerve wrecking when your weeving through traffic!!

Thats why i had to back off otherwise i know i could of hit at least 155 because it was still pulling

JCL622

iono...i doubt it would actually hit that 155 mark; before i wised up a bit.... everytime i drove from St. Louis to Chicago i'd punch it real hard, esp during those long stretches of road to no where....and the most i ever could squeeze out of the A/T was about 152-ish.....

but by then tapping on the breaks and bumps in the road, even some small winds all became strong factors to be aware of.

for sure the TL hits 140 and hits it strong, but who cares? ppl who really "street" race are looking for that 0-100 push;

it's the main reason i'm even considering trading in my current daily (E92) and grab the 335d, the torque on the diesel is ridiculous, that's what's really fun, (at least for me); flying around at 120+ is just asking for it..believe me i almost had to do 28 days in jail plus 42 hours of community service and pay a $900 fine for it; (distorted reality and fulani can vouch for me rofl)

I hate cars

Is that supposed to be a joke?

Alright. Lets see some pictures .. or better yet .. a video of you doing 162mph @ 7250RPM.

Update, I hit 141 last night .. I am pretty confident I won't be going that fast for awhile.

jdmitr22

im gonna do a top speed run on a dyno in a week i think haha, then we shall know the top speed of the TL-S auto tranny lol

RC51Ryder

Wow and I thought I was crazy for getting up to 95mph in my TL once. I normally keep it under 80 in the car. Anything over that, the gas mileage suffers. I use my bike for when I want to go fast.

SPEEDYP

iTrader: (1)

I did about 145 in 5th redlinned... I was not sure if it would go faster in 6th or if I would loose my speed and rpm while shifting..

erick3

yeah, i couldn't agree more. i remember back in the day when i first started driving...totally thought i was the shit! driving fast, acting retarded...looking back, although it's only been 3 years since, it was worthless. i hit 140 a long ways back in mine, and BOY was it a scary feeling. oh, and i got pulled over lesson learned. unfortunately, i'm one of those "have to learn from my mistakes" kids...needless to say, i've never again done it!

i did 145 once and never got close to taht again.....a bit to scary for my taste

youngcheezy

i did 145 in 6th in my 08 Type-S

xrvman

Doesn't the 08 only have a 5 speed

Bearcat94

6-speed MT.

AT = 5 Speed.

bigmoetl1

i had my 08 tl-s up to 140 on the way to chicago i was impressed and so was the cadillac behind me he got his but

Bearcat94

That's odd.

By all reports the TL-S Auto ('07 & '08) are limited at ~132 - 135. Some speedo error perhaps.

Maybe because of his 20' rims?

could be an error i wish i had my camera. my car has never actually cut out at 130 i have a witness for the 140 but a pic or vid would be better proof oh well i was focused on driving more then anything

bigmoetl1

i have a 08 tl type s auto if i ever go that fast again i will have to post a vid or take a pic

Bearcat94

Didn't mean you did not see 140 on the speedo.

What I mean to say is that at that speed, if the speedo is off a little, the indicated speed might be slightly over-stated or under-stated.

dannyboy72

I drive to work over twenty miles away and most of the time I"m goin over 100. feels pretty safe and you can drive 120 steadily in some parts of kansas if you have a radar detector. not scary at all, but suspension could be stiffer for those speeds

mobusta

I drive an 08 TL type S 5AT and I've tried at least 3 times to push the car to its fastest possible. The car WILL not go further than ~ 133 MPH. The conditions were pretty optimal too. No one on the road early morning around 4am. I stayed at 133 for about 20 seconds too trying my best to get it go further but it just wouldn't bunge. I remember the 3rd time I did there was a small curve in the highway and I was doing about 130 and I almost pissed my pants. However, even at speeds of 110-125 the car feels pretty grounded and natural... it is a sports car after all with all the sport tuned suspension etc.

Imagine driving a lambo or something similar... those are cars are build to drive normally at 120 as most cars are at 50 lol.
