1badtgp Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 That would be cool, but dont they shut off at 107 in the Regals? Just curious because my 89 GP would only hit 107 and would kill out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolt_Crank Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 a digital speedometer, shouldn't have a limit to the speeds it displays, dammit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomFE3 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 that kinda sounds like the speedo's on the turbo jet skis, when you accelerated you accelrated so fast it would jump up speeds like 12 or 13 mph per jump untill you were at full speed and it flashed a new speed about once every half a second, and with the waves and everything flying out of the water and on plane and everything it would go from like 60 to 24 to 57 to 17 to 63 and just jump around like that because it is constantly climing out of the water and everything with each wave and it only reads an accurate reeding once every 4 or 5 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORBI Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 My 88 CS went all the way up to 136mph one time on a highway going little downhill i did it about 5 second and then i slowed down because back then the car had 150k miles and didnt want to get stuck on a highway at 5am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbars Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Is your Cutlass a 5 spd Norbi? My automatic will only do 117mph but I've heard the 5 spd can do about 135mph. I dont trust my 5 spd enough to try it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
