Governor on our cars?
 

Does the lancer have a governor that anyone knows of...i know it's not easy to get to, but i'd be curious to know if we have one. Does anyone know the top speed of the car with stock gearing?

about 135.6 is what I've seen posted on here, no govenor, just the fuel cut-out at 6xxx RPM's

wonder if anyone has gotten to that n/a?

I've seen some posts of people being close to that, would probly take a long straight chunk of road (maybe a little downhill too ? :lol: )

well then here is a better question. how fast has anyone gone in there lancer n/a top speed wise? list mods

ive hit 114 w/ magnaflow catback and bridgestone potenza 17" s03 tires

115 (4th gear, hit fuel cut-out) on cheapo Les Schwab tires mounted on my Enkei 15's

I have gone 120+ 1 or 2 mph in a completely stock OZ and had a little room left on the tach. It is not a downhill or straight piece or road either, it is actually a very slight incline with banked sweeping turns. The top speed is all in the gearing not so much the HP. These car are by no means a top speed racer, but they handle well (OZ anyway) in high speeds.

122 (in my auto oz) on toyo proxies mounted on my konig rythems, and nothing else but rrm SRI, loooooooong stretch of I - 75

Ive heard of it toping out (because of govener) at 215km/h (aprox 135mph) I have only been in a Lancer doing 210km/h (aprox 130mph)

I went 200mph at 13k rpm.

125mph on i-95 coming back from miami and racing 2 civics lol

I have traveled (completely stock except lowering springs) at 132 on a slight downhill on I-79 from Pittsburgh to Erie. Car handled beautifully. I don't know how much room was on my tachometer because I was afraid to take my eyes off the road because there were many other cars in the right lane I was passing.

id imagine the lower springs help the air resistance ALOT on our cars.........

ive gone 130 plus on the way to vegas....with 4 people in the car, and room on the tach...mods are aem CAI and greddy catback....and lowered...im guessing my oem eevo8 spoiler might have helped in keeping the car down...along witht he 4 people in the car :lol:

I have hit just above the 120mph mark on my speedo when travling on interstate 69 between Lafayette and Merrilville Indiana. Too bad my best friend in his 2001 Galant ES could not keep up.... He told me it had a V6, but later I find out it has a 2.4lt inline 4. My car is a 2004 Lancer O-Z 5 speed, totally stock engine/ transmission wise. Stock 15" O-Z rims with Yokahama All-Season Tires.
