Top Speed Options

[jas142]

What speed have you guys had your 6th gen GT's to? Any difference between the Autos and Manuals in regards to top speed, or do they end with the same final gear ratio?

[bojangles_8686]

There is already a thread on this, just search for it

[Guest_Matthew_*]

yea i wish i was a moderator

i would close this


it has been discussed quite a lot in fact

[jas142]

Yes, I DID do a search so don't flame me. No, I wasn't able to find any decent threads about it except one about ST's. I asked for GT's

I know this one thread being here will obviously make your life a living hell GT2GT4. I know how it ruins your day to EVER talk about a subject several times. You despise the thread, yet you take the time to reply and talk about it. If you DON'T want to talk about it, then don't. Is it REALLY ruining your day since I posted it?

[Guest_Matthew_*]

damn

i never said anything about ruining my day

but yea if you want i can look for the thread on the topic and post it for you?


ok

Thanks, I'd appreciate that. Sorry to blow up on you, I've just had a stressful day lol

[Chrobis]

top speed on my manual 97 GT is about 127mph

P.S. yall could just answer the question again, it actually takes less time them talking about how many times its been posted.

and hey next time do a damn search, this has been gone over alot!

hehe

[mywhite94celicag...]

my GT is a 5 spd and all i can hit is 116 or so, i run out of revs cause our trannys have crappy gear ratios in them

[doGGy]

With my ST hited 135 mph (230 km/h) this weekend, and then the governor kicked in... (it kicks in on 7.200 rpm acording to my S-AFC data)...

[evolve]

Hmm, you guys seem to have very low top speeds.

I hit 125mph Ish easily in mine with still quite a bit left, i reckon will take it to 130+mph with long enougth road

Oh yeah the higher top speed ive got might be due to the 3SGE engine. I think the rev limiter cuts the top speed to around 135mph though thats whats on the car stats anyhow.

DOGGY has the S-AFC helped with perfromance, thinking of purchasing one myself.

[Rivo]

Damn you non States ppl with your fancy 3sge's. 7200 RPM? Wow, could only imagine what would happen to the 5sfe if it was taken that high, seeing as it's redline is 6250 The GT (US) limiter kicks in at around 115, 116, with about 500-600 rpm's to go. So go get a AFC, or a haltech, or just cut the pink wire going to the ECU

Edit: I now see you have the ST model, the 7afe, right? Even in Lithuania, ain't that a high redline for it?

[jayi12-15psi]

I've hit 135 with my gt, but then it cut out, alot of times it depends on your tires to.

[VAcelica]

you guys' clutches must be slipping. my auto ST easily hits the limiter at 115 with about 1k revs left

Yes, i have the ST with 7A-FE, and res line starts on about 6200 rpm, but the governor kicks in on 7200 rpm. And NO my cluch is not slipping

[evolve]

Just had a look at the stock stats on the 3SGE engine, top speed is 139mph then rev limiter kicks in.

[Aus]

top speed is meant to be 139 mph - ive got it to 134 / 5 before the rev-limiter (You guys in the US are really missing out!!)

[TigerWoodsJr]

132 is what my 95 GT did...rev limiter is around 135 that I hit on ice...lol.

[SpedToe169]

Yup, the speed limiter is no more. According to the GPS the limiter hit at 111mph (about 118 indicated on the speedo) and now the car does 123.9mph (about 133mph indicated).
