I know that I am going to get flaimed, but I thought people would like to find out, how does tc feel on that speed. Was going 120, stability is incredible, I used to have 2002 nissan maxima, and it cannot even touch high speed stability of tc. Maxima could get to 120 much faster though :-/ I miss that...

 

yea i got it to 125 and when i went to change lanes it started to get a little wobbly.

 

thats where those sway bars help.

 

get hotchkis sway bars, trd springs ans struts, and the dc strut bar and it will feel perfect changing lanes at that speed

 

I got mines up to 130. and it is a lil wobbly w/o the bars and stuff

 

what rpm is the engine at for top speed? redline?

 

My gps shows my max speed at 135, but I don't remember going over 125. With the tower brace/sway bar/springs, it was rock solid.

 

i've only gone to 120.
which is perfectly fine. the tc isnt a GT car

 

The tC is electronically limited at 127 mph. I have had mine to 115, and it did pretty good, even moving around from lane to lane. I was pretty impressed. It was a little light feeling, but not too bad.

 

yea got mine to around 105, little lighter but not bad and i don't have a spoiler or any sort

I am not sure what rpm, was not looking. But I would think around 5.0 - 5.5 by the sound of the engine.

 

So just wondering, how does a spoiler help in this situation? Increase the downforce and... keep the car stick to the ground? What about the different types of spoiler? Is it goin to to the opposite if you dont get the factory ones?

 

had mine up to 125 ran out of room or i would have kept going.

how in the world can you take that up to 130 when your maxing out the TACH----at 6K I took mine up to 120 an it was almost at 6-- an the motor felt like it was goin to blow up-- is there anyway I can lower the RPM's--- Would a turbo do that-- I know First an second gear are low--- 3-4 are lil better for gettin up to 80 really quick--

As I mentioned above, the tC is limited to 127 electronically, so 130 is out of the question with the stock chipset. It is limited because it is at redline at the speed. You cannot lower the RPMs at that speed without tranny work. The gearing sets that for you. A turbo will increase power, but cannot change the ratio of RPM to wheel speed. Hope this helps.
