speedo is innaccurate at those speeds and i pegged past what it went to

 

i hit the cut off when i was stock... 110 i've gone modded, up 65.

 

I've got up around 125+ in 5th gear on I-275 here in Michigan out by Metro Airport.. Its about a 5 mile stretch of straight highway. I still had about 800rpms left. Mods: Eibach Springs, Magnaflow catback, injen intake, 17'' motegi's, evo wing.. blah.. look at the rest on my personal garage. =] The car held up and was very stable. It just takes quite a while to reach the high speeds. Oh yes.. bring a radar detector =D!

 

damn i have a piece of crap governor. it is a little plastic stopper in back of the gas pedal. in a stock auto es i topped out at 105

 

that's not a govenor, that's just a pedal stop to keep you from snapping the throttle cable or mashing the pedal ino the floor

 

ive hit about 122 but let off gas.....definlty wanted to keep goin....fast.

 

115 mph......interstate 80... like wingnut,didnt move the eyesite from road,lol
and all i have is bomz intake,cheap crappy,i know and icw racing rims,nothing too major..

 

i hit 120mph on interstate 15 south. it was like 11pm and i had one passenger. pretty flat, maybe slight downhill. stock auto.

 

I've been over 125 na with intake, strut bars, and coilovers. But as said before, Boe says the car will get too much drag around 130. I believe it, because I got 9 mpg driving that fast for so long!

WTF?!

 

all i have is catback exhaust, everything else stock went on a roadtrip full trunk, brother, and full backseat and me, 115 to 120mph, lost alotta gas, south carolina to kansas city doing 100+ the whole way...didnt get caught

 

I did 130mph on christmas eve,2003,highway 85,long stretch with a sweeping left curve.No other traffic was present.
I did this before I was told that cars have governers to limit the speed of a vehicle so that it doesn't go over a tire's speed rating.This was because of the Ford Explorer tire-shredding issues. I wanted to check for myself.
My oem Yokohamas are T rated at 118 mph yet I pushed my OZ over 120mph yesterday morning on highway 87. Again,no other cars were on the expressway.
To be honest,I won't do it again until I change my tires to ones that have a higher speed rating like an H,just to have that extra safety margin. The #2 crash rating of the Lancer is a good reason to ease up too.
As for stability,my OZ was stable at 111,120 and 130mph. I also hit 91mph on the 85/87 ramp,commuter lane,far left next to the barrier wall.No drift,no wander,very stable. Oh,my 95lb wife was on-board too.
I do baby my car most of the time,driving the speed limit. My OZ isn't anything special.However,I like the accelleration when I get a green and the auto shifts faster than the cars with manuals that are next to me. I can tell they're manuals because the drivers always seem to mis-shift. The OZ does take a while to get up to the speeds above 95mph.
My only issue with this car is the bad paint and Mitsubishi warranty/quality issue complaints from other owners.But that's for another forum.
It's a daily driver and I just hit 40,000 miles this evening. Overall,I'm happy with my OZ.

 

I hit around that 130 mark on a 2 mile strait run down by the bech bnut once you get over 1120 the car shakes a little this was about a month after I got it from the dealership with basic bolt ons

 

120. sri ttest pipe

 

i drive an es 03 and went a little over 120 with 4 ppl in the car (total). was still going up but i had to let go for an exit

 

sorry, whoever told you that doesn't have their facts straight. there's no govenor on our cars, the closest thing is the fuel cut-out that happens when you hit 67xx rpm's, and that is only to protect the engine
