whats your top speed?

[StrokeD z]

hey guys i was just wondering what does your car top out at....
you guys probaly wont belive me but my car toped out at 200km/h i had a pic of my dash at the time but i cant seem to find it.... i will try it again :thumbsup:

[ConVict]

234km

[THREE40SEVEN]

According to my tire diameter, tire od, and final gear, i hit 153 mph.... There was still another 1200rpm to go...:D
VERY scary at that speed. I had a strech of empty highway.

[RGAGT]

220km i've hit I doubt that convicts probe will hit 234km

[TalonVelocity]

187 cuz it governed out :)


2002 Jeep Liberty Sport

[eur0]

200ish maybe 5 on top of that...I was going down a hill on a long stretch of private road so it was safe

[LUDELVR]

just under 230 km/h for me. But alas, no more high speed runs for me!! Damn turbos!! hahahah

[redline_13000]

160, damn governor

[TalonVelocity]

is there a way to take off the governer?

[GTS Jeff]

i dont think my car is safe enough for a top speed run.

[ramminghard]

130 in my truck. fuckin 4 speed.

[Ben]

The speedo needle is vertical, speedo only goes to 120MPH (damn engine swaps)

I would guestimate 130.

[tegdream]

185 km/h in a stock 93 civic ex auto....had like 1000 rpms left still...surprised me since i didnt think i would surpass 170

now has intake...maybe ill try again sometime :)

[a_peep]

Approx. 250 km/h with about ~500 rpm left in 6th... But speedometers aren't very accurate at high speeds. I'll never do that again.

get an hpp3. it will move to governer way up. Theose trucks go pretty fast. They hit the governer in 3rd gear. still have one left

[Sky]

215km/h :)

[ancient]

248 kmph

you are right, 3rd gear going from 4000rpm too 4500 rpm i raised from 140kmh to 160kmh and hit the governor, so im estimating i can hit 180 by the time i redline (5200rpm) and still have 4th gear, which starts at around 3500 rpm. I dont think the tires can handle any higher speed that which the governor is set at though. So it wouldnt be safe to up the governor.

[special blend]

Estimated I had mine going over 150 m/hr. My buddy was going had his speedo buried past 140m/hr and I was still pulling on him. Should be a lot more with my new 6 spd this summer.

[air_mikey]

220 km/h

[Speed_Dreams]

I dunno how fast i was going...but i made it from Red Wood Medows (just outside of bragg) to where glenmore meets sarcee in just under 10 min so I dunno how fast that was. My interior lights were burnt out...and then my crankshaft broke :(

[chrisgushue]

fastest ive gone is 180, anyone know top speed on a 2k2 civic si?

[tegdream]

-chrisngue


a guy a i know said he hit 197 ..with a cat-back

Okay folks, this is not How fast does your speedo go, its how fast will your car go...2 completely different things.

Funny that you mention that my friends (know nothing about cars) always judge a cars speed about how fast their speedometer says it can go.:rofl: Or how many rice items it has...:thumbsdow

[Ben]

Also keep in mind most cars will not pull to redline in top gear.

Hey bol, too bad the first pic didn't show up :rofl:

[RiceCake]

98 Corolla, once again the needle burried, past 180 km/hr.

86 MR2, hit about 220 hm/hr with the pop up lights down.

new car... have yet to find out...

[SplineZ]

200km/hr, was scared to take it any further.

Most cars to not have enough power to pull to redline in overdrive.

[soloracer]

1989 944 Turbo - 262 km/h but was still gaining and just ran out of road to reach the final top speed.

1990 Honda Prelude - around 190 - 200 km/h. It's been a while so I don't remember the exact number.

1987 RX7 Turbo - Don't know. Never took it past 160 km/hr

because most cars dont have the raw HP to pull the car to the top of high gear and overcome drag and resistance and such.

[core_upt]

202 km/h in a 89 CRX s down a slight hill
189 in the Prelude SR-V but that was int he city so I didn't push it much farther

My dad drove an Infiniti G35 up to 225 the other day and his friend who owns the car got a speeding ticket for 242 on Deerfoot!!! No word yet on what the courts have to say about it but his ticket was $468

[speedyalero]

175 in the Alero due to speed limiter but that is disapearing soon.

195 is the fastest I have had the Durango R/T at -- too freaking scary to go that fast in an SUV.

my point all along, most of the people on the board say "more horsepower doesnt give you a higher top speed"

[TalonVelocity]

hahaha amateurs!

I went 180km'h in a fucking 1995 Ford Aerostar!! hahaha and u guys think UR ride was scary!

[lammer]

160~ some with a 97 Safari on high way haha shit i was getting scared cause it was getting all wobbly and shit..

my speedometer maxes out at 180

[kenny]

155mph :) hitting that limiter felt so weird :P sudden thrust forward as the car stopped accelerating for a few seconds. Oh yeah, this was on a uhh... private strip of runway lol.

[Cypher_69]

about 225 km/h

[JustinL]

There is often a discrepancy between what your speedo is telling you and how fast you are actually going. Sure, my speedo goes to 300kph, I could probably even get the needle to show 295. My actual speed though is probably a lot less, as is common on most 944 turbos.

My 944 TurboS with it's current mods *should* be able to pull to the red in 5th, which is 267kph. I haven't come close to this yet.

Yeah my speed limiter does the same thing. Its a weird feeling and it sucks to lose a race because you bump up against the speed limiter -- in my case anyways. Yours is much higher than mine :burnout:

[ConVict]

There is two reasons people cant get going faster once they hit a top speed.
1. Not enough HP: the drag on the car is to much for the hp your car is creating and just cant PUSH anymore and kinda just sits at one speed no matter how long you push the peedle.
2. Gearing: I could have a 1000 hp and my car wont go anymore then 234km , thats because my tranny wont let me go any faster then that.
So when you combine those, if you have a slow car. Your top speed is what ever you can get it too. If you have a fast car its what ever your tranny lets you go. and most of the people on the board are right :thumbsup: because TOP speed is diff then your FASTEST speed...
Hope you understand what Im trying to put down

oh ya and RGAGT come on man, tell me why i cant get to 234km ??? :rolleyes:

what does it cut out at?..i love beating cars that have speed limiters,( Sunfires, Cavaliers etc.. lol ) just kinda funny when they just stop excelerating :D

my car can get to about 180km/h alright, but it depends on its mood if it will go any higher, plus its harder with the lights up( more drag)...one time going to Edmonton, i got it up to 212km/h becuase it was during the day and i was drafting a 300zx....Yes i know this was stupid, so i dont need any comments saying it was.

What mods are done to his Probe? I too doubt a stock one could hit that speed. But it sounds like his isn't stock.

It cuts out around 175-180 mark. Which sucks - especially considering that I still have a gear to go when I bump up against the limiter. But I am awaiting a new PCM to take care of that problem and a few other computer related things.

I was racing this guy in a VW and it was nice and close till I looked down at the speedo and lost all accelleration... sigh.. he just kept on going....

I always do the cruise control set at 175KM trips to Edmonton. Its a nice straight road and there isn't a heck of a lot of traffic so why not makes the trip much shorter.

[RGAGT]

Well I'm Pretty sure "although it's been a long time since I drove a probe " That the speedo's in the car Only go's to I think 180-200 km/h. they only have 170hp stock which puts it the same as the Aleros/Grand AM .

I Know Mine will pull to 220km/h and still has more Room to pull to but hit's the limiter. I'm putting out about 185hp. And That was with the factory 16"Rims and Tires.

With the 18" Rims I'm only hitting 200 km Not enought Hp to push to the limit anymore. I don't remember what the gearin is on the probe and I'm Awesomin that your's is a 5spd. The Last Probe I drove was a First year new style and I could only get it to 185km/h and that was with a 5spd.

So I would save I don't think it would hit 234km/h, If I remember right your Probe has some mods don't remember what other then I think and intake and what a 50 shot of Nitrous?

[redx2nv]

230 in my car-pretty stable
145mph in my truck-way to fuckin scary

Altough i did make it from edmonton to calgary(including a stop in red deer) in 1.5hrs...

Not even close man. Thanks for explaining yourself. My speedo goes to 180km ( 1989-1992) new gens speedo goes to 220km I believe. Stock second generations can pull into the 230's with ease, been in a couple of them who have.
I put 234km because if you take gear ratios and what not, on the stock tires thats redline(6500). But I had 18's on so i just recalculated and it puts it at 255.1 kph. So I suppose thats how fast I was going. Math is math, you can argue with it if you like.
and no offence but comparing my car to yours is stupid. First off I am a lot lighter, I am turbo'ed with FMIC, I put more hp to the wheels then you got to the flywheel, and I got about a 100lbs more tq then you to the wheels. sooo ?!?!
My mods during this run was - Stripped interior, Doubled stock boost, Air intake, exhaust, msd ignition and coil.

[RGAGT]

:) Well didn't realize you had that much done to it good to hear thanks for the info update :thumbsup:


Hey what was factory boost back then don't remember
:dunno:

Stock boost was 6... Putting out a super underrated 145hp and 190lbs/tq. Someone tested this, and got a flywheel dyno. it ran 166hp and 205lbs/tq or something.

Not to keep going on an old topic, but I'll give you something to think about :D
I have one pic of my speedo- Mods included at the time. Stock boost, stock Air Box, 2.5 exhaust after downpipe. Rolling on 18's. With a passenger and lugage ( on the way to edmonton ) and dont forget the full tank of gas
If you calculate with my 18's on, and gear ratios. not looking at the speedo.
1st Gear - 3.25
2nd Gear - 1.772
3rd Gear - 1.194
4th Gear - 0.926
5th Gear - 0.711
it says 5500RPM 215.8kph
6000RPM is 235.4kph

So... Probes are faster then you think I guess is the moral of the story :D:thumbsup:

[RC-Cola]

I got upto about 210km/h when I started to get into traffic again. It was Hwy 2 outside of Carstairs heading towards the city. Probably could get some more, but it's tough to find open good road...

Sorry Man I had to look up the stats for your car stock - Couldn't find out weight but your probable right on the probe being lighter the the GA but just so we both have the correct infor


My Stats for Horsepower/Torque stock car weights 3100lbs


175 bhp @ 5200 rpm
205 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm


Yours Don't know the Weight

145hp@4300rpm
190ft/lbs@3500rpm

So stock at the wheels your putting out 126hp/152ft/lbs of Torque and that's going with 20% power train loss

Mine would be 130hp/150ft/lb with 30% loss throu drive train

Which I think is pretty accurate looking at the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for both cars are pretty close


GA's Gearin


1st: 2.957:1
2nd: 1.623:1
3rd: 1.000:1
4th: 0.863:1

Final Drive 3.29:1 gt's only

Theken has a Cold Air Intake, running 11psi. He ran a 144whp, and 220wtq. So thats the only thing close to evidence of what mods can do to the probe. Have no idea what I am running. The probes weight is in the 2600-2800 range. Depending on GT, LX, GL. I am probably in the 2600 range with my weight reduction.

So by guessing ( remember I am guessing ) I am putting down at least 160whp, and 240wtq and my car is 500lbs less then yours

Dont worry, we got the same friends. We can set up a nice friendly race this summer or something for a beer :thumbsup:

[EvilNeon]

The old Probe/MX6 turbos were brutally under-rated. I have no doubt that their advertised numbers were closer to wheel rating than actual flywheel.

I drove an ex's stock MX-6 turbo and that thing pulled like a fat chick going for the last twinkie.

The engines were also pretty durable so you could pump a pile of boost thru them and not worry about taking a rod to the jewels.

I will gladly attest that the stock motor in the Probe/MX-6 is/was a lot stronger than the 3.4 in the GA/Alero.

Oh, and they had manual trannies too. :)

i tried drafting off a jimmy and it worked so good it was like adding a turbo to my car and i all most hit him then i when in the next lane ya i know that was stupid but i had to try it sometime

and I have hit the rev limiter while in 5th while on my 18's. Which is SUPPOSED to be 255kph if performanceprobe.com's calculations are right.
Like I said I dont have dyno results, I can only go off of thekens dyno results. He pulled
144whp - 220wtq with cold air intake, and 11psi
I am running Cold Air Intake, 12psi, Filed head, Straight pipe exhaust, MSD pack/coil, sparks/wires... ya thats about it.
But I know and theken can agree with me that on the probe switching the exhaust gives you some SERIOUS gains. You should see the brutal downpipe that it came with.

[twincharged86]

I hear you on that. Same goes with the Grand Am's / Aleros and the headwork -- stock heads are very restrictive. You gotta come up to race city, I would love to "line up" with you to see how good of a race it would be. Win or lose I think it might be close.

And now he has full 3" Exhaust with an "Apexi N1 knockoff" and constantly runs 9psi, spiking to 12 sometimes with a ghetto boost controller installed by yours truly :D. Exhaust did quite a bit....... The whole comparing the Grand am and Probe seems to be highly inaccurate!:rofl:...the Probe Pulls extremely well at high speeds, i was extremely impressed at how fast the needle got buried( looked identical to Convicts Picture)...not sure what the revs were at though.:dunno:

Some of you guys are real dreamers.

Factory speedos are inaccurate at high speeds, hence why i used my tire diameter, rear end gear, 5th speed gear ratio and rpm to calculate my fastest run.

With the 18" wheels (larger tire diameter) on my 944, the speedo is fairly accurate. I had my Blitz Power Meter speedometer calibrated using GPS equipment. And 295 on the speedo means 300 in real life. You need to pull 7000rpm to hit the magic 300 mark :).

Fastest I've gone is about 130. Havn't taken a top speed run yet. I'm guessing it should be a bit under 200.

I agree but I misunderstood and thought this thread was "How fast have you gone". In my case I still have a gear to go when I bump the speed limiter so I really have no freakin clue what my real top speed is.

230 Klm with roughly 500 rpm left in 5th gear.

I think the top speed would probably be somewhere around 260 kph (gear limited). The speedo stops reading at 240 and the trip reset button would eventually get in the way.

Here's a link to a vid of the speedo from a 2nd gear pull into 5th gear (http://members.shaw.ca/kevin.wong/laser/speedo_40_to_230.avi)

I shut it down at around 230 kph, but as you can tell, it didn't take too long to get there. :D

And before anyone asks, this was done over in Germany on the Autobahn many years ago. :confused:

BTW Rage, the top speed in your 944 is pretty wild! :thumbsup:

Personally I've never had mine up past 210kmph...but that was in 4th at 2:30am after the bar:nut: (I was the designated driver of course!)

Here is what the "theoretical" top speeds are for 3KGT's:
