This is why H rated tires suck!

[TurfBurn]

I explained on the last page what the speed rating of the tires means...
It isn't his rev limiter as he is nowhere near redline..
I did explain why drag is likely causing it.. has to do with the rolling resistance of whatever he may have on and what the wind on the day was like and so forth...

And since none of you have figured it out yet.. the music is overlayed on the video... it is NOT playing in the car.

My car does that with V,Z, and W rated tires. It's a friggin protege. They aren't that fast!

They're schmucks...ignore them...

i think he thinks the tires are the problem for some reason. cant tell you how that corolation was made though (dunno)

The rpm dropoff wouldnt have anything to do with the tires, go z rated it will still happen. IS the governer set that low?

My protege begs to differ LOL...

but yes... a stock protege will do that... and based on the shift points I'm guessing the car is an auto... so all the more reason it craps out right around 100 mph.

No, it's called drag limited

havent seen it nor care too.. so i havent figured s***... sory for sugesting it could be some how conected to how his car is reg stock.... besides... your right.. nothign to do wiht revs.. it has to do wiht speed.. hes prolly got some goofy "cut of" but i dont knwo ill shut up... lata people!

 

[nate0123]

(rofl)

the notion that the tire would somehow "know" how fast the vehicle it's mounted to is travelling, not to mention engage some kind of limiter, is freaking hilarious

I wish you all the luck in the world with your new fastAr tires (hah)

LOL I was referring to Turfs comment on how a couple are focused on the kids music choice...

Unless it's highly modified N/A or turbo'd it's gonna be SLOW. I've got header, intake manifold, exhaust, CAI and it just isn't very fast. Better than stock, but it's still a protege. I don't need the car to go over 100 anyway!
