Hey if thats what the manual says then why not.
Before going 5spd i would set my cruise at like 85-90 when im on the highway going up to Ithica. Where the flow of traffic is 100+(even the cops do it)
I recently read in my 96 7g manual that the stock cruise control has an operating range of 25-124 mph. i was just wondering, has anyone tried to use the cruise at 124? i think they might have exaggerated a bit

I am just curious who the hell "cruises" at 100+mph?
1991 Galant VR4 1948/2000_________1996 Galant "S" 5 speed 2.4L turbo
thats what i was wondering too. i sure wouldnt trust a cruise control computer at those speeds. i dont even see why you would usually drive that fast anywayOriginally Posted by 4-G-rim
my dad told me when i was 14 he drove 95mph the whole way to vegas from san diego.Originally Posted by 4-G-rim
then he gave me the car 2 years later. no wonder i'm losing compression in my #3 cylinder
Keep in mind the same cruise went on Euro cars that can cruise at 100+ on a regular basis. I'd hate to hear the engine screaming at 125 for an hour or more, but hey... I've accelerated past 100 w/ the cruise arm, but just to maybe 102-105ish, and just for an instant to get by some traffic.Originally Posted by 4-G-rim

granted i dont have a 7G but while i was in germany i would drive the autobahn on cruise at 120+ for 3-4 hours to go to my buddies house in my 8G. did that 5 or 6 times in 3 yrs. also drove to the nurburgring at 100+ on cruise and that was about a 6 hr drive as well. of course i use amsoil in the engine and tranny so maybe thats what helped keep my engine together hahah

Back when I was young and stupid I cruised at 120 from Miami almost to the Georgia state along the Florida Turnpike. I don't recommend it, but I know from experience that it's possible.
