I've been seeing a lot of posts on here about the top speed being 120 MPH for a 2012 Acura 3.7L SH-AWD 6 speed manual. I have a 2012 3.5L FWD 6 speed automatic and have reached a top speed of just over 130 MPH. Is there a reason why the SH-AWD 6 speed manual is limited to 120 MPH, while the FWD 6 speed automatic can go over 130 MPH? Also what's the top speed y'all have gone on either car?

I thought the 6x6 went 150? But ya that's as far as I had my 3.5 up to, 130 on GPS like 133 on the speedometer.

Wow, 130 mph! I've only hit 100 mph once in 12 years of ownership with my 2012 3.5. Was smooth as glass though, felt more like 80mph.

How have you only hit 100 once lol. I hit 100 mph daily

Haha, I'm old and slow and there is definitely not as much open road here in the Northeast!

danggg , thats true Ive been down there a few times and yeah its pretty bad up their. The night time is a good time to take it 100. you should try it. My TL hits 135 then it hits govern

allegedly you can go past govern and hit ~140 if you use manual mode

yeah, I took a pretty devious cruise the other day and hit 140, it felt like it was trying to slow itself down tho when I hit it

one thing I dont like about the tl 4g is the govern, I used to have a g37 at my disposal and hit 155 like nothing
