What's your top speed?

Potential? 170whp is not enough to overcome the aero drag past 130ish.

10-4. But what about other cars that have more power? They get 'shut down' before the car's potential. I am obviously not articulating this well. But there are vehicles that will be limited to 135 mph (electronically) when they can easily go further in terms of speed via more power.

220 km/hr or 137.5 mph based on digital speedo.

All Bikes are limited to 186mph. Ford rangers 88mph. Scion tc's 124 mph it's all whatever the manufacturer wants.

So whats wph lol

This "shut off" is called a governor, or "electronic speed limiter". The triplets are not equipped with a governor. They are "drag limited" meaning they lack the horsepower to overcome aerodynamics to go faster than a certain speed. There are many factors effecting this as well as modifications etc. Make more power, go faster. The manual is geared to approximately 168mph at 7500rpm in 6th, so if you have the power to go that fast (most turbo cars probably do), then you're limited by gearing.

GM Trucks are limited at 99mph, Charger R/T's to 125mph, Charger R/T with R/T or Police package to 157mph, Charger SRT8's are drag limited. Most European cars are electronically limited to 155mph for legal reasons in Europe.

I hate this thread! Ego out of control! Why are you guys putting at risk all of the people you love? What would you do if your wife, son, daughter, brother, was killed by some idiot trying to find how fast his car can go? If you want to find out what the 86 can do take it to the track! Let's stop this tread now!!!!!

Our cars aren't governed. They are drag/power limited to a certain top speed in which I do not know. Add more power and you'll be able to go faster, that is until you hit the stock rev limiter. Then of course if you want to go even faster you can do things like raising the rev limiter or change gearing etc.

If you have the funds getting this car over 200mph doesn't seem all that far fetched.

There are absolutely no "limiters" in these cars except drag, I don't think you fully understand your own question, but, the reason you see 135 mph-145 mph or whatever is because the car literally cannot go past that in it's stock form with the current hp, ie. it cannot overcome the air resistance . The car if, I remember correctly from a dyno run video, is mechanically limited (transmission can't go further) than around 175 mph.

How many more are going to answer EXACTLY the same way! That is 4 now lets go for a record.

[AZOOZ_95]

232 Km/h or 144mph

[Rampage]

There was a guy that had a video of him hitting 147MPH on this forum shortly after the cars were released in 2012. I have been up to 118mph in one on the back straight at Mid-Ohio.

[tennisfreak]

I got 121 mph on the road in front on my sons school. Hit it this morning after dropping him off right before school
