I have an 05 MT. It was a preowned car, I felt that it was limited to 125. I tried going faster, it didnt, I then did not get to a chance to push harder again. Is that possible?

 

no limiter on the mt 8. 5th gear 140+. what gear were you in, that may be a factor.

 

ive done 148 man, i dunno what happened with urs....

if ur in 6th then it wont go, u gotta be on the limiter then shift...

 

Signs of a bad Cat?

Reset your ECU

 

I can tell you without a doubt that there is no limit at 125 mph.

 

Something is wrong unless you can't tell the difference between an AT and MT.

 

I've done 132 in fourth or fifth, can't remember

 

Fourth maxes out at 127mph so you had to be in fifth or sixth.

 

The 4 speed 05's definately feel like they have one....having owned an 05 AT before I got the MT...I took that thing up to 125 numerous times....never could get past that number....never...always stopped on 125 ...downhill....with the wind ....lightweight rims and a few breating mods....I could not get that thing past 125....that is all .....

now in the MT i've been over 150 ....so yes no speedlimit there =)

 

4 port cant go over 125 bc it doesnt have the guts. i assumed he had manual...

and uh, 4th maxes at 131 not 127, not that it matters

 

i took mine up to 149 once in 6th gear. i almost hit 150 but the road started to incline, not much, but enough to keep the wheels from going a tiny bit faster haha. it was a rush!

 

Definitly was not in 6th, so 5th it was. To bad I ran out of road. It's a two lane road with corn fields on eaither side.

 

Yeah, I know. I remember reading a lot of threads that say there is a speed limiter only on auto and not on Manual. I was wondering if at all the previous owner had it placed on request?

 

Come ride in my 4port a/t 8 and then tell me the a/t has a limiter.

 

I have got mine to 152 couldnt push the car past that im sure it could go but that was stock since i hace done some mods i have not had the chance to test it out that was just one of those night coming back from the club on a empty highway at 3am a SRT charger and a SLK ran up on me

 

the highway was slanted down a little bit hmmmmmm

 

I've gone 127 in 4th....Topped out i think towards redline so i think there more room to go esp if you are in 5th.

 

the MT definitelys does not top out at 125mph.

are you sure you dont have an automatic? paddle shifters are still considered automatic.

 

Only if a six speed gear box (in between the front seats) is considered automatic, then I have an automatic.

 

phil, can you take out the limiter with your int-x?

 

don't think it matters, the 4port a/t's run out of power at that speed anyway

 

i have a 6 port......so I wanna know whether it be a worth investment afterall (its not like i can screw up my life anymore)

 

Basically, my point is, could there be a possibility that the previous owner could have got a speed limiter set up for my 05 MT for some reason?

 

I think you should not be making references to running triple digit speeds on public roads. I am sure you all meant to say that you were on a closed circuit track. ;-)

 

I dont remember making any references ?
