3000GT Top Speed........
Just curious as to what speed the VR-4 are limited too, I floored my 99 SL to a measly 120mph
 my Taurus 1990 SHO was faster than that, it went to 135mph and it's a four door, Hell, even the police dodge intrepid is faster than that!!!!!!!!!!!I'm looking to get a VR-4 soon, and in light of the recent discovery VERY VERY SOON, but I wanted to know how fast they are, or what's the fastest you've ever heard someone go up to.

Re: 3000GT Top Speed........
Every SL Ive ever been in will do a good amount over 120. They were all stick, so that may have something to do with it.
VR4's do about 160 stock.

Unless I was confused, it didn't go past 120mph, THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can understand an SUV limited to 120 but a soprts car, that is some bullshit.

Re: 3000GT Top Speed........
The VR4 tops out at around 165-ish. I think.
*edit* Also, I have the SOHC, and even mine can get up to 134mph. I know this because, when my friend owned the car, he got clocked by the police at that speed

Re: 3000GT Top Speed........
^the auto's final gearing is similar to the 6th gear on the VR4 (I think) so from that I'm assuming that an auto'd have a higher top speed...

And yes something is definitely the matter if youcan only get to 120. I have hit 130 many times in my SOHC, and taken it to 140 once.
