My car is the 1998 Mitsubishi Galant 24 viento with the 4g64 dohc 16 valve engine
ive had it up to 150 before i gave up lol
km/h? :lol:
yeah :)
150 mph would be a bit crazy lol
I'm guessing so, seeing as how he's in New Zealand, and if he's asking questions like this, I doubt it does 150 MPH, lol.
I was just kidding :D
I dunno, I bet theoretical top speed is somewhere around 210-215 km/h.
are there any sites that would have these stats?
I usually just Google search... I'm really not sure about the JDM models that you guys have in NZ.
i know itll do 127mph.
cool... i think ill need a really long road to get up there though lol
Just be safe :shock:
according to global cars
i have
105.8 kW
0-100 in 12.1 seconds :( :!:
but top speed is 215... thats the best news in the lot lol
warm...just so you know...that top speed was on a dyno i would NEVER do that on the street.
Top speed on a dyno? You do realize the only dyno that actually simulates drag is a eddy-current dyno like the Mustang dyno, right?
So I was right about 215 km/h :D
Stock 5spd 4g64 7g is geared to 155mph. Goog luck getting there on a stock motor haha. No clue no the auto, it probably self destructs around 133mph.
[Edit]
In my stock auto 7g I did ~130-132ishishihs. Was scary, about hit a deer lol.
I've seen 140ish.
same but stopping was a bit troublesome thank god for down shifting and engine brakingQuote:

in all honesty it probably has the stupid 185 kph speed limiter... i dont see why they bother though lol
A tranny pump grenading at 130 mph would be a different experience. As I bet thats what would blow.Quote:

I did 120mph with a messed up auto, I havent really tested the 5 speed....only about 115 so far. The only thing I dont like is how high the rpm's are at 100+ I dont know, just think it should be lower. Oh and if you had a '96 like me...you wouldnt have a speed governor! :twisted:
i was still at like 4500 rpm at 127
You have to realize that just because your have more revs remaining, your engine may not necessarily be able to overcome the force of drag past that point. If I estimated my top speed at redline in 5th gear, then the top speed of my Galant is about 185-190 - would I ever attempt that? No. :lol:Quote:

You guys are weak sauce.
I've been up to 140 (indicated) with a (willing) passenger. Downhill, probably with a tail wind. I don't have a picture of that, I do have a picture of this:

Yes, it's an Automatic.
Real world speed was calculated to be 133 mph with the tires and gearing.
I'm guessing your car can go faster, being DOHC. :wink:
Did I forget to mention that 140 was going UPHILL... :wink:
Your Galant doesn't even move :roll:Quote:

The G could easyli pass 200km/h and on the papers she does about 220km/h. The 2nd gear goes up to 115-120km/h before the rev limiter kicks in :twisted:

I don't think your Galant counts [in this thread] since for one, it's an 8g, and it's also heavily modified.
Have a nice day. :)
I forgot to add that most of your stock or equivalent tires are only rated to 130 mph. That means after 130 mph, it's SIMPLY NOT SAFE to drive on the tires. Don't do stupid shit - I don't want to see anybody from TGC on the news for getting into a 130 mph accident.
It doesn't matter what car I'm talking about, it matters that what I'm saying is that, yes I've driven that fast before, but it doesn't mean it's not FUCKING RETARDED.Quote:

Dude, leave it alone.
either way, i pinned the needle on my 7g at 140, and still had room to go, Bronxbombr did the same I beleive
it's not USDM, so we don't know what the limiter is set at or if it even has one.Quote:

i hit 135MPH when i first got the car(stock, havent tried it since) and it would just not go any higher, so it tops at around 135MPH unless u are in the rockies and goign straight downhill :S
I think I should add, the original poster actually has an 8th gen Galant, not a 7th gen Galant - think he (or she) was confused by the year label of the 7g forums. It will be a jap import EA3A model with about 165hp.

Good catch.Quote:

My GS-T has been taken up to 165mph
At around 115-120mph, my 7g feels too unstable to go any further, never tried a speed run since.
i got mine up to 160 in 5th and it was at 3500 rpm if thats an constellation lol
