50-100mph Video (Intrigue)

[BCM]

I know its kinda hard to see but hey 100mph and filming at the same time isn't that easy, watchin the road is more important.

whats with the dog....

 

try what i do kind hold you camera with a couple finger on your right hand and just rest it on top of your airbag that way you can hold the steering wheel with both hands

 

maybe it is just because your car is soo damn quiet but that seemed to take quite a while

[BCM]

When i uploaded the video to my computer it went to a walk around vid (recorded over some of it) and its my neighbor's annoying ass dog.

 

It does seem slow to me...I do need a new belt (mine sometimes squeaks a little), and probly some other things lol. oh and my window was down so thats why you couldnt really hear the engine much..

[ShockTherapy]

you out of gas, foo.

[BIGBULS]

3.05 gears..........bleech

 

Gas saver gears just aren't too great for performance. Hell, by the time you pound your governor (108ish mph), you'll only be at ~4700rpm going off of the video..............not even at peak power in 3rd gear, with another (comletely unusable) gear to go.

 

I LOVE GM

[BCM]

Governor = 110mph =

I have the Autobahn Package including H rated tires(130mph) but yet I get the stupid governor like all the others without it.

 

Yeah I filled up on gas right after that little joy ride

[BIGBULS]

Ok............110........maybe your speedo is 2 mph off

 

Sucks that you still get the governor though...........LX5 cars had theirs moved to 126mph with the Autobahn package.............and they do it EASILY.

 

I bet with 3.05 gears in your Intrigue, if you got a DHP Powertunr, I'd suspect you'd have a 125-130mph car given a few miles of pavement (and I bet it pull would reasonably hard through 120mph......~5200rpm.........where the power starts to ramp off). Going past 130mph though will require a few mods at least though (and probably an oil cooler to deal with being at high rpm for so long). Good luck pulling 4th gear though

 

Not to mention a good venue for all of it..............say, Nebraska??

[Cam'ron]

i did the same thing with my monte... 3400 power

i cant wait for my PCM, do the exact same thing and she goes to 2 instead of 3

[stevegasm]

That's a quiet ass car... lol

I dont have a before-the-DHP-PCM-vid but here's an after, with low coolant goodness!

 

 

And yes, that's MPH //end egotistical remark

[IRONDOG442]

BCM You don't have the autobahn package if your car curs out at 108 mph my black Intrigue has it and I think, it's been a while that the car cuts out a 132 mph my white Intigue doesnt have it and fuel shut off is at 113mph. I can do a video for you guys tonight if you want.

[BIGBULS]

i did the same thing with my monte... 3400 power

 

I think your 3400 Monte would be a decnt match for the 3800 Intrigue.............both cars take roughly 20 seconds to go from 50-100mph.

 

I bet the Intrigue would win by a little if you were side by side though

 

Oh............and your Monte DID kick to 2nd gear.............

I do have it as it says on the window sticker, and it cuts at 110, but aren't your Intrigue's both 3.5s? That might explain why yours cuts out at different speeds..

[Nick1234]

you all just wait untill i get myself one of dem digital video cameras. Its going down

[IRONDOG442]

All 3 of my intrigues are 3.5s right now, I have only owned one 1998 3.8

2nd gear... yeah that time

my car is by no mean a speed deomon but aside from my old regal it is the fastest car i have owned.

and yeah with the mods i have it could very well keep up with a stock AUTO 3800, lord knows i cannot touch my buddies camaro with the 3800 SII and a 5speed and it is bone stock with 217,000 KM

 

still want a PCM for the added "it will" 2nd gear drop, and the removed speed limiter... nothing worse that a car with the FWI pulling like it does to the limiter and all of a sudden you literally feel like something just broke.
