maxed out

[tomkit]

Tonight I floored and maxed out my car @ 117mph or 119mph -- it was too close to the bar I couldn't really tell. But you could feel the cut-off take place. The engine runs strong up until that point and then all of a sudden it feels different and held back. The interesting thing is that the car was in 6th gear and then when I passed 110mph it downshifted to 5th gear to get more torque. Who else has maxed out their CX-7?

 

[spike blue]

the top speed on the cx-7 is about 120-125mph!!!

The limiter is set at 117mph.

The limiter is set at 117mph.

WTF - a limiter?!? :bs:

Anybody - how to get rid of this? (ughdance)

 

[1Sleepy93]

Yeah, flash the ECU. Too bad no one knows how to do it yet.

 

[Steiner]

Yeah, flash the ECU. Too bad no one knows how to do it yet.

Have any aftermarket companies been able to flash the ECU from the MS3 or MS6 yet?

 

[1Sleepy93]

Nope, not yet. Soon hopefully.

 

[Steiner]

With that DPI I'm not going to hold my breath. Hopefully Mazdaspeed will release an aftermarket ECU for the CX-7, MS3 and MS6 like Mopar has released staged kits for their SRT cars.

i don't think i'd want to go past the speed limiter in such a tall car. it's easy to lose control even if it is sporty and based on a great chassis. the center of gravity is still high, and the car itself weighs a good deal more

Actually the CX is probably safer then some cars.
