how fast have you guys gone in your cars? I've gone 120

 

[p3]

alot of the cars on this site are governed at 113.

 

[blkbute]

hmm, mine is governed at 120, mabe its only 118, but whatever it is Ive had the car up there when she cuts out, sucks that mine is in kms so I have to convert over.

 

[JoeKD]

yep, my 2000ES is only good for 118 before it starts to hold you back

 

[Warlord187]

So far I've only had the balls to bring her up to about 115mph. But this spring when the weather gets better and I get my high performance tires, I think I'm going for 140mph!

I've had it past 120- the needle was stuck but it was still accelerating. I think I backed off at 125 because I got nervous going that fast.

 

[MoparHead]

125 MPH

 

[gary680]

104

The fastest i have gone in my r/t was only like 120. and the car was real smooth

 

[MoparPerformance]

My 99ES would hit 120MPH then the speed restrictor would kick in and jerk you back. 120MPH felt really smooth, not even like you are going that fast. My 02' SE 2.7L hits 110MPH before the speed restrictor kicks in. The 02' feels really smooth too.

115 mph. These daggone West Virginia hills keep gettin' in the way. My R/T needs to stretch her legs!!

 

[sURFNmADNESS]

Oh my,

The fact that sold me on the intrepid. rented out 1996 intrepid es in 96 and ran it up to Biose ID from Omaha, NE. Went across Wyoming with it floored. 120mph 38 mpg! She was idling at about 2k the entire time and clearly had lots more room to go.
In 97 I rented a brand new 1997 ES and ran out to Reno NV from Omaha. I was let down though once I hit the Wyoming border per the car topped out at 110 and gas milage dropped to around 32mpg.

I have since owned a 96 ES and now an 98 ES. Neither of which I have floored to check top ends in. Guess it has to do with I own them.

Heard that new Intrepid R/T's and SXT's though are capped at 140. May have to rent of of these and go see.

Around 150 mph racing a 5.0 Mustang wide open for over 2 miles on the HWY. The speedo was about 3 inches past the 120 mph mark coming up the other side. Rock stable at that speed.

107 somewhere in the mountains of PA on I-80.

 

[Black94ES]

140mph @ 4000rpm (Approximately) in a 94 3.5L

 

[DMAG]

650 mph at 35,000 feet in a 757.

You crashed??? plz explain

[JoeKD]

no he didn't crash, he's talking about hitting the speed limiter, the car climbs to speed very strongly then the limiter kicks in and it's as if your throttle cable snapped, it just cuts off that quickly

how exactly were you going 120mph with it only at 2000 rpms? when I have my cruise on, I am at exactly 2000rpms at 60mph, and at 86mph(where the cruise shuts off) I'm around 2800-3000(not sure exactly)...I just cant see how the rpm's would be so low at 120mph...
