msp's top speed??

[mazpro]

I was wondering if anyone ever tried to do a top speed test on the MSP, or knows what the real top speed on the MSP is??

 

[AJsMSP]

I believe it's governed to 136. I have been as high as 120, haven't found a road long enough with out having to worry about cops.

Unfortunately like 133-ish...(give or take the whole downhill in a strong gust!)...I hit mine very easily and abruptly - stupid limiter! (bang)

 

[mazpro]

thanks, I was just wondering because I am looking for a new car.

"EDIT" what about the top speed in each gear??

 

[mspeed101]

I hit 137 on the highway but I have seen another mazdaspeed hit all the way to 140 then the limiter kicked in.

Maybe I'm thinking more like 135 - I really dunno, as I didn't spend too much time staring down instead of forward! Either way, it hit it easily...no drama, smooth - sucks that there is no 'chip upgrade', like other cars - VW 1.8T's come to mind...

This thread has been done like 15 times and usually it turns into a flame war of drag limited vs governor vs. gear limited(ITS NOT GEAR LIMITED).

I have only personally seen 124 in mine.

I got really drunk one night and my friend who had a camero wanted to race me. I remember looking down and it said 135mph.

Great drunk driving AND racing. You are the winner of the douche nozzle of the day award!

I got drunk one night too and I raced this kid in a gti and when I looked down at my speedometer it said I was going 195mph

i hit 135miles in a highway stock but i believe that the car can make more than that.

I really hope someone else was driving.

135 is the top speed according to c/d

Cmon now he said "really drunk" "race" and "Camaro" in that sentence. We are not talking rocket scientists here. He was driving, although when he realizes what he has admitted to he will say he wasn't.

If you really want proof read it again. "race ME" and "I remember LOOKING DOWN"

 

[hello2000]

I never said I wasn't...I was driving. Thanks Atreyu for the award! (loser)

 

[hello2000]

yeah....I am lucky I am not in jail or dead from that night. I was raining too.

You guys are saying that the MSP aren't any faster than the Protege 5 they just get there faster.

I hit a limiter at 132 when I had the stock Protege 5 ECU then when I put in my MP3 ECU I hit the limiter at 135. I am in a basically almost stock P5. Check out my cardomain page if you really care about what is in my P5.

I know that on the track at ProtegeFest, I wasn't that far behind MSP's and they didn't pass me until high second gear and into 3rd. My reaction times are OK at .833 or something like that. would need to find the slips to be sure.

Any way have fun, but the drunk racing is well just plain..... you get the idea.

cool dats about right.. i've downed 135mph on my MSP.

I smoked alot of pot one night, I raced a guy in a '80 chevy citation and when I looked down at the speedometer, I was doing 25mph.(smoke)

(and I was STILL winning!)
