chadz34 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Basically, I'm wondering what a Lumina Z34 automatic transmission is capable of with a computer chip to remove the limiter (mine is at 115 mph). How much faster are the manuals? Quote
mihela816 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 ~130, ~140 with a manual. There was a big thread about this like 2 months ago. http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30258&highlight=top+speed Quote
chadz34 Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Posted July 11, 2005 Yeah, I want A number not 60,000 different ones. So, 130mph for an automatic? That is fast as fuck. :shock: Just for that a chip is being bought. Quote
mihela816 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Well find out for yourself you ungrateful ass. Quote
chadz34 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 That's why I asked.....to find out Quote
mihela816 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Well, with the 3.1 4 speed in my Regal, 130 was all I could get. With an LQ1, they won't do any better because they drop too far below their powerband in 4th to manage more. The gear ratios of the 284 let them go faster. I've also heard that the Turbo GP's can go about 150 with no limiter. With these brakes, I wouldn't dare do that. Quote
chadz34 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 Yeah, sorry about being an asshole earlier. That's real fast for ''your average car''. Quote
Prospeeder Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 People have gottan 4 speed TGP's up to 156 i belive, that must be some scary shit Quote
1990lumina Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 If you do it somewhere smart then it should be okay. If you do it where other cars are near by then I'd be a little scared since you have to anticipate WAY ahead when going that fast Quote
chadz34 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 According to http://www.carvideos.com .... a Lumina Z34 5 speed can do 147 mph stock! :shock: Quote
1990lumina Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 I would have thought it would speed govern...maybe with the speed limiter it would do that stock Quote
chadz34 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 Yeah, I thought every Z34 had a speed limiter..... but that site claims that 147 mph is ''theoretical speed''. SO, I don't know what to believe! Quote
1990lumina Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Holy shit you only have 44k on your Z???? Damn PM some pics or something!!! That must be one NICE ride! Quote
chadz34 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 Yeah it's actually flawless. I will get some pictures once I go start it later on in the summer again. I need to borrow my buddies digital camera. I'm so anxious to get pictures up too because you guys probably don't believe my mileage and condition. Like it's pretty simple, my mom and dad bought it new and drove it a little bit each year store it every winter. Then, I think in 1997 my mom stored it for 3 and half years and she was gonna sell it, so she got it certified and the only thing thatw ere wrong with it were tie-rods. Then, she decided not to sell it. Never fear, I will get pics and I'll keep you in mind to PM them to you it shouldn't be too long. It's just kinda gay. I spent all my money on buying it from my parents ($6000 family deal) and now I have no money to insure it....so it's sitting this year out. Quote
Prospeeder Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 6 grand for a 92 lumina, thats ALOT, low miles or not Quote
chadz34 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 She was gonna sell it for $15,000 privately. She had people that would have bought it too. She doesn't know what a w-body is....nor does she care...it's a nice car. It's still brand new basically. It's a nice car, and people will pay becuase of that. Find me a Lumina Z34 with 44,000 kms on it! Quote
Prospeeder Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 OH Kilos, frick, thats like, 20k mile, lol, know i know why people are all freakin out over ur car! Quote
chadz34 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 Yeah. Plus where I live, people are always looking at it when we drive downtown. There are like 3 Z34's where I live. I'll get some pics up don't you worry....except it's all stock there's nothing done to it except a drop in K&N. But there is little taz decals on the back side windows...it looks good though. I'm not a ricer Quote
