Max out

[BlackCherry]

What's the highest speed that your p5 can hit? Cause mine doesn't let me pass ninety, I think it has a limited, I bought it used

 

[NCZ13]

thats not right.

ive hit 110 before. it really doesnt have the power to get past that in a reasonable distance. even though 110 takes a ungodly amount of time.

 

[BlackCherry]

I tried it in a quarter mile straight road. Apparently my friend said the rpm meter stopped moving once i hit 90 and it wouldn't let me go any faster, but my eyes were on the road, so i didn't get a good look at it. I gotta try it again soon

 

[Benji]

no this car does not max out at 90, nor is it limited to 90.

On my old P5 with intake and header, 128mph is the fastest I've been but if I had more road, could have hit low 130's.

i got ~120mph with a roof rack on and an intake. She had legs for at least 5 mph more but i was running out of road. A header would have really helped for sure.

Shoot, I hit 90 in a school zone yesterday while texting my BFF.

On a long, open stretch of empty highway, I hit 118 as verified by my gps.

which hand had the beer?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

I hit 125 before I started running out of road and pulled back. That was with a roofrack and just an intake.

EDIT: BTW, if you're going that fast, there should be NO ONE around you.

Absolutely true. And you should have visibility ahead and to the sides. I did it on a bridge. No risk to others and no chance something will jump out at me.

edit: good luck finding a track long enough for a P5 to max out

 

[fishdonotbounce]

lol I would love to find a track that would let me get the P5 up to top speed. I haven't really gone over 90 for quite some time now and that's mainly because if there are any cars around me, I don't see a reason to put them in danger just because I feel like going fast. There's fun and then there's stupid. There's a real fine line between the two.

haha a bridge? thats the worst place to do it! if you wipe out... o man.

but i hit 115 auto : / it took a while

but top speed in 3rd gear can hit 95+

 

[ghettoracingkid]

governer hits at 127mph
and 7200 RPM the rev limiter hits.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Isn't there a long standing discussion over whether the car has a governor or not?

Um, not at 127... I've never had my P5 above 110 (around where 4th tops out) but 5th gear is good for like 165+ mph technically (the member 'Rogue' did a detailed calculation a while back). This is a heavily debated topic with the MSPs though. Still no reason to go that fast on public roads and unless you're on a NASCAR circle track, you're never going to see those speeds on a track either.

Acceleration > Top Speed

 

[alexelie]

before my header, i went a little less than 180km/h but with my header on, i was able to go up to 190 and i felt like i could have gone a little higher(118mph). intake, header, muffler, on 16inches

 

[ghettoracingkid]

ive hit 127. It took some long strech on a professional track

the ignition shut off with a governer like action.
