The speedo is set to be off like 5mph at 100mph. So your speedo tries to keep you from speeding by telling you you're going faster than you really are. (= | | | | | 03-04-2005, 06:17 PM | #34 | | I miss my Ti....... :( Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 828 | I got mine ...
On Interstate 15 coming back from Vegas I hit the speed limiter at 125 or so, in my 99' TI Sport.
I also have a 95' 318IS, and have gotten it up to 135 on the 210 around Flintridge. With a 345 rear end though I am almost pushing 6K, I think the exact RPMS are like 55 or 5600. So I am think the speed is going to be around 140, maybe 145 tops.

Would 5800 rpm be about right? That would be 118 mph in fifth when the U.S. speed limiter steps in and takes away the punchbowl. The top speed when you remove the limiter is 213 km/h or 132 mph. | | | | | 03-07-2005, 03:13 AM | #36 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Sydney, Australia Posts: 593 |

like 90 or 95 i think...Sure I may sound like a pansy but I've had enough court dates and I'm not looking for anymore...I have the most fun driving on twisty mountain roads though...not too fast but it's a lot of fun when you're going like 50 or so | | | | | 03-07-2005, 04:32 AM | #38 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Muncie, Indiana Posts: 1,551 |

On a school field trip i passed the teacher going about 110mph on a bridge in my stock '97. Maurolin, I noticed that you're from Tampa, what part, im in north pinellas near Tarpon Springs. Do you ever go out to Sunshine Speedway and race on Wednesday and Saturday nights? | | | | | 04-02-2005, 06:31 AM | #41 | | Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Brooklyn, NY Posts: 37 |
Well personaly i think speed in a straight line is dumb ,(im a drifter) but since its a top speed thread , the first night that i installed my performance chip i just had to test it with 4 people in the car, worn out rear tires with like 4 huge lumps ,and on top of that the right Rear shock mount decided to make the shock tap on my 6x9, anyway to the point i had alot of space on the Belt PKWY West (to JFK from Brooklyn ) and it was 3am (empty) I picked up 136mph on the speedo at like ~6700 rpm cool huh ??? | | | | | 04-04-2005, 01:53 AM | #42 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Charlotte, NC Posts: 120 |

Lets see the top speed i've been in my 96 ti was about 110mph on I-75 in Florida, but I didn't want to go any faster cause of cops and if I get a ticket my parents said they sell my car. And that would really suck. __________________
