anyone tried the top speed on their MCS??
pls. state mod. done to the car as well.
tks.

 

ive toped her out on good ol i-75 at about somwhare around 135 - 137 but mines bone stock, ive owned the car for 4 monthes now, bought it with four miles on it now its got 20477 miles, i average bout 5000 miles a month, i know its crazy but one thing ive noticed is the car is much faster now, than it used to be and now i have trouble hooking up at all, sometimes the dsc in the s will start flashing evin when shifting in third, but the runflats in this cold climate dosent help im shure.

 

Top in my MC is ... Well, look for yourself.

 

very impressive guys......tks.
but i don't think the forum will be too happy with that big pic of the speedo.

No Mods yet. But I got her up to about 120 something chasing a 911 Turbo and a GTI yesterday on I-75 and the Florida Turnpike heading back from a weekend in Gainesville.

On a seperate note, the Valentine1 payed for itself on this 1 trip, avoided 3 definate ticket situations all of which would have been for 95+!

Dudes!, Scale down your picture size, please!
I got my MCS to 135 bone stock. Won't matter
what mods you do, you won't have a higher top
speed, you'll just get there faster! Wait, I take that back.
The ECU upgrade might increase the top end.
When I had mine up to 135 I put it in 6th gear and
it was really pooped-out. If you are going for top speed use
5th gear. Gotta tell you, that little engine
is really humming at that speed.

Not true (about top speed not raising). It is not the gears limited the top speed on these cars, it is the power vs. drag coefficient. If you raise the power, you will be able to overcome more of this drag. Until you reach the end of your gears, you still have room to go faster. You just need more power to do so. Example, buddy with an LS1 trans am. Went 150 or so out of the box, and felt dead. Now, he can hit 170 and still have room to accelerate. If you still have more gear, you can go faster with more power.

 

From what i understand the top speed of 135 is computer limited. I'm sure it's modifiable. I hit 118 or so on the way to PA. Didn't feel threatened. It can easily go 135 without any problems.

 

CooperSSoon,
What I meant is you still won't get
over 135 mph because the computer
regulates it to that speed. An ECU over ride
would be needed to overcome the 135 barrier.
I'm not saying the MCS can't go faster. On the contrary,
I think it has a little more top end, but until the
ECU is overridden it won't matter how much hp you
have when it comes to top speed.

 

130mph with more to go, no mods.
Had to slow down as I could make out the State Trooper down the road.

 

OOO, Im sorry then CCM. I did not even think about the governor limit and posted my nonsense anyway. Sorry if I came off as an *** in any way in my post. I should have thought it through further rather than made an uneducated comment. Sorry bout that.

 

COOPERSSoon,

Welcome to MCO!! !!

We all make mistakes, and you showing that you can own up to it and apologize quickly and sincerely puts you up there in my book - good show!

 

I hit 125 before the automatic girlfriend kicked in. How do you switch those things off? MB

 

Hi,
I noticed your speedometer has both mph and kph. I live in Canada and mine only has kph. Are there any other Canadians with the same situation or am I unique? It wasn't easy driving in the States last fall.

Thanks
