Top speed

2007 Mazda CX-7
FYI The CX-7 is governor limited to about 118 mph (my estimate according to the speedo). I wonder if anyone (like CP-E) will be able to disable this limiter?
 
not until they crack the ECU completely. My question is...why? Do you REALLY need to go faster? (hand)
 
It's a SUV, For **** Sakes.


The tires are likely H rated and for that reason the vehicle will not go faster.

Want fast, get in the EVO. Please do not try to kill the world with your SUV..

H rating is to 130mph BTW. No reason to bash. Lots of fast SUV's in the world - Porsche Cayenne, GMC Typhoon, Grand Cherokee SRT-8, even the X5. The CX7 has the same potential.

All kidding aside..I wouldn't go as far to say that.
 
The quality of this thread started directly with the originator stating that there is some stupid reason that his SUV must be able to go faster than 115 MPH. I gave you my opinion, it's the internet, what so hard to understand that I can post here as well. I don't really care if you like me or not so try not to loose any sleep over any of this.

It still boggles my mind how completely ignorant and reckless that concept is, My SUV can do 110MPH, I NEED it to go faster.

Further, the fact that the rest of you think that I am the idiot simply compounds my belief that you are all idiots and deserve each other.

There is no reason to drive that fast. If you can't accept that it has a govenor, then you should have bought a much faster vehicle to begin with. (Try the Cayenne Turbo, It comes with Z Rated 20" wheels and was designed to go STUPID FAST)

The gearing is not designed for it, sustained extreme speeds will create tensile loading on the major rotating assembly, Over Heat the Transmissin beyond it's design limits. Over rotate the CV joints much beyond their design limits, Propell a 3600 Lb vehicle beyond the brake systems capability to do an emergency stop.

Mazda built it and decided on a top speed for the govenor, It's idiots that cause normal people to have such greif when they take their vehicle in for work by breaking their vehicle by doing stupid s*** to it and then bitching that they want Mazda to fix it.

Grow Up.

Another quality post by Brian MP5T.
It's the truth, Accept it.

You don't have to put MP5T on my name, That's just a car. I am Brian.

Brian, I was not going to reply but I watched your video on your MP5 build. Kudos to building a very nice car. But I couldn't help noticing the hypocrisy of your posts. You bash on guys wanting to make the CX7 a little faster. This is coming from a guy who blew the motor of an economy car trying to make it faster. To paraphrase your statement..."it's a economy station wagon, for f@$# sakes." If you wanted a faster wagon with a turbo, why didn't start out with a faster car to begin with? Say a WRX or Legacy GT wagon? I ordinarily wouldn't bash someone for building a cool car, but I had to point out your hypocrisy.

To Sum You Up. It's A Go Kart

It's not any "Faster" than it was in it's stock form... (Close gearing is good for 1/4 mile only)

It's Much Much Quicker however.

I never drive it over 100 MPH, it's not designed for it plus it's stupid. That's even just to pass or sum up a bit of a race even before it begins.

The car corners like it's on Rails, Stops with aggresion and accelerates with seemingly infinite throttle.

Doing Top Speed Runs With any car that is not meant for it is IMO not a safe venture. Seriously, The company didn't just go and say,

"s***, Lets design this SUV to do 300 Km/h with all the supporting components like Big Brakes, Better Tires, Better Transmission."...

and then govern it to 110 MPH just to piss you guys off. I truly believe that Mazda has improved a lot since they made the MSP (Which if left in it's stock form is a reliable boosted semi tuner car), I think that altering the governor is simply going to result in Death or a massive fine or both.
 
The european CX-7 with the same engine, suspension, etc., will be ungoverned and the stated top speed is 130 mph...
 
I gave the correct answer at the start of the thread.

Not until they crack the ECU completely

This is down in flames.
