Are 2004 GTP's Governed?

[Iceman83]

If so, at what speed? And can the governor be de-programmed?

[Matt Palm]

i wanna say its like 126

[Iceman83]

Huge step up from my '99 GT @ 105. lol.

[Matt Palm]

my gtp sat at 110 forever tho and i let off thinking it was the speed limiter but i dont do top end runs to save my 4th gear

[REDCRAPGP]

125-126 iirc

[Iceman83]

Supposedly my wife's aunt's 2002 GTP governor was turned off/de-programmed, or whatever, and went 160. I wasn't riding. But that's what she said. I called BS on that.

[DanPrixGTP]

Governed at 125 i wanna say.

[dsmuts]

I just don't understand why people would want to drive that fast. Seems stupid to me.

[DanPrixGTP]

Top speed means nothing.

Its all about acceleration i think.

B/S to that comp g top at at 145 so a standard GTP would be under that

And your reasoning for that is?

[Iceman83]

I don't have to go that fast. I was just curious. I was once told as a teenager. It's not how fast you go. It's how fast you get there.

[wa04compg]

Yes all gtp's are governed comp g are higher and yes you can reprogram it for 200+

[REDCRAPGP]

And your reasoning for that is?

3.29 gears..

[231FUN]

3.29 gears..

Nope you got that backwards although you would probably hardly notice a difference top end. You accelerate quicker but sacrifice top end by going with a 3.29.
You theoretically will run faster track times with 3.29 gears... .1 faster ET and 1mph slower for the gear change to 3.29

I know for a fact my car has done 131MPH with the mods it has, might go another 6MPH if I had a long enough road to test it on, accerlation is what wins races though.

[231FUN]

GTP vs. Comp G

Hence why I asked what your reasoning was...
You said because 3.29 gear.
When you should have said because comp g is governed at a higher speed than a regular 2.93 geared gtp.

[REDCRAPGP]

So you would say that they both top off at the same mph?

Actually a better questions whats the difference between a comp g and standard trans other then the gearing and tapshift? I believe nothing but correct me if I'm wrong.

[tcman49]

I have a 2001 GTP with standard engine, have hit about 110 mph plenty of times, it had a bit more so I think top speed of about 125 mph seems right.
