fastest ive gone in my tC was between 125-130 also. i did it on the highway at 1:30 in the morning comin home from providence. not a singe car on the highway (which was odd might i add) so i let it rip.
(also i wanted to post to add to the amount of FM owners responding lol)

I remember in drivers ed they would show us videos of car accident scenes were the driver split his skull open and all around his head are pieces of his brain lol...I was like damn!!!

OK..am i a retard or does the tc even do 130?
I am thinking not...since tc does only 127...and some of these comments are jokes..???

i am guessing?

I hit 129/130? Have you ever pushed your car to its limit...?

KINGxOFxSKA

i have... governor kicks in at 127.

Poison

I could have sworn I saw the speedometer hit 130...

lbmdt

governor is by determined by the states.

And its generally 125-127.



Try to go 182.


Now thats fast.

I wouldn't recommend you really trying out your car unless you goto a track. If you live on the coast around D.C. I recommend MIR (Maryland International Raceway). They also have a Nos refill tank.

I remember being smarter when I was younger too! Somehow this seems like a bad idea now. Damn this downward spiral of my intelligence!

remember, the speedometer is not absolute... error increases with speed.
...it might read 130 gage, but you'll actually be doing a few MPH less.

you need to find a cop who's cool & will clock you for fun. i live in south louisiana so it's not a problem... this might be more difficult in other areas!

i've read about someone going over the governor before
it was somewhere in the forums.

I dont think a cop will ever do that in California haha

wickwickitywak

Im from south Louisiana too, one of my friends dad is a Baton Rouge sheriff. He clocked me in my moms G35, 153 mph. I want to get him to do my tC.

tC = limited at 127. The whole excited driving really fast the first time and not really staring at the speedo will make ya think it's higher...the first time I did it I coulda sworn I hit 135. I've done it a few times and can verify that the engine stops going the faster at 127

VVTIGUY

^^^^^ agreed
It is the whole adrenaline rush that gets you thinking you see something you really aren't

STAT

it's a fun bouncing effect at 127, I would agree that it looks close to 130, but since death and I are really good friends I was able to look close . sadly didn't hit it. but you can take out the limiter if you know enough. so I need to find someone who can take it out, I want to red line in 5th just before I burst into flames and destroy a small part of the countryside.

emiller

The speedo might say 130 but the car is limited to 127. Speedos always read high and the difference goes up as speed goes up.
