    Last night I got my 2000 GTP up to 125 mph before it started cutting out. I had two other guys with me and a full tank of gas. do you think it could go faster with less weight? i know there is more there but the governor definitely cut it out. what are some of your top speeds?

    More weight won't affect the top speed limiter. I've had my car up to just under 130. Like 128 or so. That was after the tune. Stock limiter was 108.

    so when you tuned your car you took off the governor.

    I believe your false on the GT/SE Josh.

    I used to have a 2001 GT and i went 107 on the highway going to hudsonville. at 107ish is when it cut out, thats what my HUD was showing.

    Let me know when your transmission dies from going that fast.

    WOT shifts into 4th are just the best thing for it.

    i hate these threads with a passion.

    you should all lower your limiters to 80 instead.

    I had my GTP at 126 according to HUD last week. Didn't cut out. The limiter must be higher, because I'm using a stock PCM.

    My GT gov is at 108
    My old GTP was at 126.
    Did this one time each. Most of the time its stupid to go that fast on a regular road. You could end up killing yourself or more importantly someone else.
