Safest Top Speed, noob question Options

[shid]

My 97 GT automatic topped out at 127 with the top up- the limiter did not kick in. It was holding at 127 for different reasons (aero? raw hp?). With the top down it stops at around 115 mph, obviously for aerodynamic reasons. Going downhill on the 73 toll way south to San Diego, I've managed to get 125 with the top down- but these were some steep ass hills man, I found my speed dropping from 125 to 95 on the way back up. Have to try it with the top up- see if weight helps me fall

I live in the UK, and have a 2.0GT Jap import with speed limiter which kicks in at @115mph... How do I disable it?

Not sure what kinda engine you have, but My 95 Celica with the 5 spd 7aFe engine I hit 125 on the Interstate before slamming the brakes cause some dumb*^%$ trucker decided to cut me off, so I can tell you that all you need to do is get a long stretch of road a friend to ride behind you at normal speed and someone to scout ahead of you and go. Try shifting the auto yourself at about 5750 so that the car has time to shift while your still on the throttle so it cant hit the revlimiter.

Also check your tires and brakes if you screw up I promise you it will HURT...

[95belica]

Yeah from 1 to 2 to D or whatever, You can manually shift an automatic.

yea, I have a '94 ST, about 161K miles on it and a lil bit ago my car got up to 120, maybe more. ( my friend was driving and pissed off at me ) But yea, I don't think I have the limiter, and my clutch was actually working at the time. (damned clutch) Even though that doesn't have much to do with speed, if anything at all, I'm still pissed that it's busted. LOL. ANyway...main points:
