Just wondering, whats the top speed everyone has pushed their g-ride to?
Its limited to 128mph.........
Yep there is either a fuel cutoff or electronically limited at 128! Been there, done that, and might do it again tomorrow! LOL
There's at least one person on here (you know who you are) who, for some reason doesn't have a fuel cutoff on his I-4, and can reach 140. The rest of us without modification can only hit 128. I hate that feeling when you hit fuel cutoff and the car starts lurching. LOL

I wish...topped out at 138
I want to say that i have got my car up to 130 or something but its hard to tell when the speedo stops at 120. I raced a SS Impala about 3 months ago and we were side by side and he said he was at 130. I think i could have got him if we another 1/4 mile!!!
Mods: Unorthrodox Crank pulley
Custom CAI
#1 brand Bomb style muffler
R1 Fuel pressure regulator
Super AFC
b19wheels(99 ES 2.4)
I've been 90. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif
is there any way to bypass the cut off?
Only way to mod it is to modify the PCM with a chip as far as I know. It's there as a safety feature, since most tires aren't rated over 130 unless you get a Z rated tire.

Only reason I know is because I was paced by a bike
so the only worry is the tires then where can i get this chip?

Check jetchip.com. It's $400 and make sure it's the last mod you do, because it is tuned to the mods on your car. Course there's always the risk of damage to the internals from exceeding the cutoff.
Top speed I've been on the freeway was probably around 125ish I'm not sure because the speedo cuts off at 120 so I'm assuming I hit the 128 mph limit...but I never go above 90 now because frankly it scares me to death https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif On the dyno we got the car up to god knows what but it didn't hit the fuel cut off even past 120 so I requested that they stop the car before I risked engine failure.
Really dont know what the top speed was.. I was racing a 360 at the time at the turnpike, i dont have a rev-limiter or fuel cutoff.. hit nitrous at about 120, needle was burried, rpms said 6500..i would say 140mph, but who really knows..
i been around 120,, 125 with my stock V6 engine...
i have a 99 and i believe that our year didn't have a government limiter on the car...so i guess ecu for 99 will solve the problem...
I had the car up to around 120 on Saturday.
OK, next question. How many tickets? Speeding and other.

tell you the truth ewg,, i been lucky i have no radar detector,, and i usally speed on my way back to work in the morning,, i havent got pulled over for nothing yetttttttttttt.
Ive only had 4 speeding tickets in my 8 years of driving!!! Only 1 was excessive speeding. I got caught in 97 doing 92 in a 55!!! I was going faster than that but i jammed on brakes when i seen the cop!! LOL the ticket was like $440.00!! I havent got any tickets since i got my G-Ride though.

Gotta catch me to get a ticket.. but i did get a ticket like a year ago, but i was for having dangerous material in my car or something like that, dont really know what your supposed to call it, but it was for the 3 nitrous bottles in the car..lol.. o well..
What bike? you know that bikes speedos are allways wrong.. they typically are off by 5% to 10% at those speeds although it varys from bike to bike and year to year. Just thought you would like to know...Quote:

2002 R1, but its been proved on "other" occasions as wellQuote:

However, Shane, I will not argue if you want to take a trip down here to show me a 140mph + Galant, I would love the ride! :twisted:
Like I said, I have only gotten mine up to 130 (give or take 1mph), and since I sold my bike I have not gotten a chance to break that speed!
Personally, I miss the feeling of flying at low altitude.......
first, speedometers are very inacurate in the higher band, you would have to get it calibrated first to make sure it really is 140.
ahh and i got pulled over numerous times for going between 115 and 135....in a 55 ..never got a ticket for it yet https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...fault/wink.gif

That prevoius comment just didnt come across right...only thing you left off was a sarcastic remark. If thats not what you ment I withdrawl my complaint, Im pretty sure shane will do the same.
FRCfd6: damn you pulled over heh, at those speeds most cops in my area say fuck it unless the rookies and have something to prove. Then again if IM wot at top, sorry maybe next week lol first off ramp, few turns and chill.
My bad, if i got on the defensive about your post, it just sounded werid..
120. most i ever went... i got shook as hell cuz i was comin up to a curv and the whole whip tilted... guess i shoulda tried in on a straight road...
hey would jetting your chip get rid of that fuel cut off thats the only thing i can think of that would get rid of that cut off

THe only such way is to get your computer re-programmed, i know a couple guyz who did mine for me.. NOt as easy as you think.. I had planned on getting a stand alone system but there isnt one for our application..
seriously people, i vomitted when i hit 120! LOL :oops:
I have an I4 never even got close to that, when I first got it 2yrs ago I went to VA beach from NYC there was lots of straight aways, for miles and never got it past 120 the car would struggle. Besides most cars r gov regulated only to do double the speed limit (55 to 65) give or take a few mph. It all depents on your cars computer program..
i dont have an 8g but ill post anyway
fastest in my 92 is 105mph (it was maxed as far as it could go :cry: ) on the interstate and 109mph going down hill on a 4 lane
and 120mph in my friends Nissan Stanza and i was with him when he burried the needle at 130mph and i dont know how much faster he went after it burried.
ive been pulled over 3 times
1) For my blue neon light in the back window, he let me go
2) He just put his lights on and pulled up next to me and told me to turn on my lights cause it was dark and i forgot to turn them on. :oops:
3) For a headlight being out in my parents car. but this turned into more. i ended up with 3 warnings. for the out headlight, not having my licence on me, and failing to yield to emergency vehical (i pretended i didnt see him and i drove a little bit and then turned to the left side of the road in a driveway so he couldnt give me a ticket on private property) :oops:
