im assuming you have a p5? automatic or manual. i know the mp3s and mazdaspeeds go upto 137/138 when the engine stops accelerating but i think its lower on a p5. but you should still be able to go over 100.

 

[aMaff]

ya, definately should be able to

 

[mp5acp]

WHAT!!!! Iv gotten my P5 up to 130ish. All i have is a CAI!!!!!! as far as motor mods!!

 

[PhilMa]

as far as i know im about 90% sure that the auto p5 governs at 127 mph, ive had mine up to 115 before i had to slow down, (that was with no mods) ive had it up to 125 with CAI, exhaust, and headers

it sounds stupid, but maybe your mats are crunched up against the accelerator pedal?

 

[ChopstickHero]

i've gone to 120mph no problems... i'm sure it'll go faster.

1) It's an economy car.
2) It has four cylinders.
3) Why the **** do you want to go this fast on public roads?
4) It's a damn economy car.
5) Seriously, you are an idiot for going that fast on a highway.
6) The Protege5 doesn't have a govener, but is drag limited to under 120.
7) Why the hell do you care about top speed? It ain't a Ferrari.

whoa dude! chill the **** out! he was just askin a question, dammit! he's right,even a 3 cylinder geo metro "econobox" will top out higher than 100mph(not much higher ,but still) ther is room for concern when a later model car cant get above 100mph,dont you agree? does yours go above 100? if it didnt woulnt you be concerned? stop bashin newbs with good questions!(notcool)

as far as the question is concerned, yeah bro, you might want to have somebody look at that because your ride should go above 100mph easy.
welcome to the forums.(hi)

What he said...take it to the track

 

[aMaff]

but yea, get it checked out

 

[chris]

I agree, he should keep the high speed drivin at the track, but there is a nicer way of sayin it. wouldnt you be a little questionable about commin back to the forums if you got bashed just for askin a good question on your first post , or one of the first posts you made. We have a bad way of welcoming people and it needs to stop.we can still get the message across without bein down right cruel about it.I have a dream......(usa)

No, it's coming from a person with more common sense than the majority of the people on here.

He can be as much of an asshole to anyone that he wants to get his point across..
There's too many innocent people out there that could easily die of stupidy such as this.
