147 Mph????

[Talcan]

ya, for some reason i think your b uddy is shitting you right now, i mean it is soppable for a ga to go that fast, but you cant just remove the speel liniter, as i found out here, in the forums, its a computher program, not a divice in the trans like older cars, so for him to "remove" his governor he would have to replace the computer... which i am going to be doing soon

[grahamkracka]

its not that hard to do...just buy a new pcm its about 200 dollors

[leadfootGTP]

its possible, b/c i doubt he would reprogram his pcm and only remove the speed limiter, it would make more sense to reprogram the whole thig and get a little more hp out v his car, which might allow him to hit that speed if he also retuned his gears and etc... but it sounds like hes bsing you.

Here is a fun test to give him: ask him how he removed the speed limiter, and if he says " i unscrewed it" or something of that nature, then hes lying.

[grahamkracka]

lol...yea
theres no way in hell he went that fast stock and lived.

the stock tires are only rated for like 110 mph, my tires arent stock but they are rated the same an i have a hard time keeping under contol 100+

[grahamkracka]

or that could have been my terrible driving

[bubbleandSqueak]

I removed the govenor and rev limiter in my stock 99 gd am se. I got a ticket at 150mph. My speedo stops at 120 and my RPM meter stops at 8000. At 120 my rpms are at like 4800. When i got my ticket i had the rpms up to 8000. I was thainking my cars going to blow up but it didn't.

i cant imagine you have ur license anymore. If you do you should cut it up and invest in a bicycle...moron

[grahamkracka]

moron......that is if its true...(not likely)

[bubbleandSqueak]

I did some lying my car was not stock i had hi perfomance tires and i had the Digital Horsepower PCM from www.pfyc.com.(http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.m...y_Code=GAUNDER) and i do not have my license right now i have to go to some classes.(5) and pay the ticket and pay to have my car back.

[grahamkracka]

Never seen a sports performance package , that would be great to see a 150 mph guage in a grand am. But why is it cars like neons have a 260kmph(160mph) when they go like crap? Im stickin to the good old cruise controll cus zero tolerance is in full effect here. In town you can get charged $100 for every kmph over the limit and not so bad as town but worse than before on the highway it got hefty too. But one other thing i noticed about the zero tolerance is less cops are out on the highway and they're more in town. I dont think my car would hit much more than 110mph on a racetrack with looong straights cus once it gets hot it gets useless for power. If my intake air is 40-50celcius a stock grand am will walk all over me cus my car goes lean with the intake air. When I got clocked with the ridiculous speed ticket the car was opened up for quite awhile took along time to get it up there like a minute oooooh thats some great top end acceleration there i tell ya. Plus the car feels like a damn canoe in the rapids goin fast like that not too mention it sounds like the car is broken past 220kmph suspension creaks and squeeks hit a small dip or bump its like a ramp the whole body lifts up high as the wheels almost or do leave the ground , the more I think about it the dumber I feel about doin it. I am gonna enroll in claimer car racing and put a crappy 300 dollar car on its roof several times on a oval track , BUMP TO PASS!!! Ill get a good beginers learning expirience that way before playin with something expensive. I dunno what you guys think claimers is but around here it front wheel drive 4cylinder automatics unmodified (that dont mean you cant run straight off the manifolds) its fun aparently.
Im not bagging my grand am no more.

[grahamkracka]

my Grand Am GT has a 150 MPH guage stock

[Pvt_Murphy]

2001 GAGT1 Stock Speedometer goes to 150, RPMs to 7k, Tires rated to 150MPH (Goodyear Eagle RS-A) and I hit my Limiter @ 130-135 and it felt like the car had another 10-15 MPH in it. Only things that aint stock are the air filter (got the K&N) and motor oil (Redline 5W-30).

[grahamkracka]

well i cant find a track that has long enough straitaways in san antonio to get to 150 mph so i cant test it

[Markgase2000]

I wanna see these speedos , i might get one.
