Top speed?

[ricklovin93]

whats the wbodys top speed for example a 3100 mated with 4t60e with the speed limiter? and whats the highest possible top speed with the speed limiter removed?

[94 olds vert]

The limiter is like 115 maybe 120 mph.

[ricklovin93]

You sure? I though it was lower than that like 107 or some odd number like that

[94 olds vert]

3100 cars have different limiters than the 3.4 DOHC.

[AL]

Im pretty sure its still 107

[rich17]

107 in my 99 3100 Lumina

 

Done 121 in my current car. Damn traffic came up or else I wouldve gone further. Of course this was by a professional on a closed highway.....

[urbex]

Yeah, it's 107. It's that in my Lumina, and I know my mom's '06 Impala was also that.

[rich17]

my 2004 GPGT was 108

a 93-95 W-body w/3100 is limited to 108MPH. it can reach it without too much struggle, or at least i did in the MC a few times.

 

with the limiter removed... 120-130 range, i would think.

[Ramblin Garage]

my 3400 gets to 120 no problem, would like to see how it would do on a long open road.

[Night Fury]

Wonder what it is in the 91

[RobertISaar]

91-93 LQ1 5 speed or auto is 120.

[ricklovin93]

Too bad we don't have an autobahn because 120 sounds like fun too me

[RobertISaar]

the average W-body doing 120 sounds like siginficant increase in speed related deaths to me.

[ChibiBlackSheep]

My speedo stops at 140

[chadz34]

My Z34 with Ben Chip easily wrapped the speedo and then some. Could probably do 140mph if enough road was there.

[Galaxie500XL]

The speedometer in my old LeBaron convertible went to 140, too. I thought it was a sad joke.

Some cars speedometers are overly optimistic I think...

 

I was on a long, steep downgrade and opened it up on my old 3.4 Alero. 108. I was pissed (before I knew shit about cars)

 

Two of my GPs, 108.

 

I got my Olds 98 up to 115 one night on a road I didn't know well...came over a crest, and realized there was a curve. I piled into the brakes about as hard as I could, and wallowed through the curve. That was dumb.

 

I've had the Euro to 115 (she got floaty and spooked me) and the Saab to about 100.

 

I got the Jeep to the 111mph speed limiter one night.

 

No professional driver, closed course bullshit. What I did was illegal, albeit on back roads with nobody else around.

[Night Fury]

My dumbest moment was ~136 in the 04 Nick has now. Fun shit!

[Addicted To Boost]

My old TGP was 128 MPH IIRC. The 88 and 89 2.8 5-speeds... I'm not sure. Ran out of road at ~115 on both.

[superdan333]

I had an 88 buick that shut down at 115, a 92 euro3.4 that shut down at 110, my 93 dont know what shut down means:biggrin: (but it was 115 when I bought it;))

[superdan333]

you must have jumbo sized coconut balls to go 111 in a jeep:biggrin:

Not my brightest hour, but she seemed to take it in stride.

[Andrew]

i took my old auto Z34 to 120 and it felt surprisingly stable. My old Ninja 500 at 130, not so much.

 

I dont think my GTP has seen triple digits, which is sad.

Would be fun but our cars are not built for it. An extended amount of time at those speeds would cause the trans to overheat. Plus I can only imagine how horrible the gas mileage would be heh
