Does anyone know the actual top speed of the 2.2L sedan? The fastest i've taken it was 115, but i know it can go faster. I've checked all over the internet and the top speed just isn't listed for this car.

 

i've put it at about 115, but it cuts out because of the gov. but yes it will go faster

 

sucks ending at 4th gear and knowing you have one more gear left that is unused

 

There are multiple threads about this please search.

It's either 108 or 120 depending on trim

 

Now since there is no tuning availiable, is there any way we can elimintate the governor

he's not asking what it cuts off at, he's wonder the true top speed, i get into 4th and it hits about 115 and cuts out, so if i could get into 5th and not have it cut out, i know it could do more like 130-135 i think

 

My 2.2 does well over 120

 

You shouldn't be taking an LS/LT 2.2 that fast anyways unless you have done serious modifications to the tires, suspension, and brakes.

 

I've gone 145 in my car. I will NEVER do that again.

x1000

 

how did you get past the governor? like reign said its set to 108 on some of the LSs and 120 on the rest... how did you do it

 

Well I had Falken Ziex 512's, DC Front Strut bar, TQ Forward Rear Stabilizer, and Eibach Sportlines.

Guys with ss/sc's have gone loads faster with less mods

I got the optional sport package

 

So that would mean GM has a way of setting the governor higher, how hard do you think it would be to get them to up mine. I know my rims and tires are z rated. Is that all they would look at?

 

the sport package includes a higher governor, i thought it was 120, but it might be 130

 

I highly highly doubt a dealer would reflash yours because (a) they probably don't know how and (b) it is a huge liability to allow someone's car to go faster like that

 

I know there is a reflash they can do for the 2.4 for "competition" driving. I'm sure they could do it so long as they can find the right numbers or something.

 

that what i figure. I'll just wait and hope for tuning... lol i don't really need to go that fast anyway, so it might be a good thing that there is no tuning yet...

the 2.4 has tuning tho.... so either way they can get what they want out of the cars

 

All i know is that was was doing roughly 128 and going over slight grades was damn near getting me airborne so I pussied out and let off, lol

 

123 here. never again. never never never

 

if you cant trap it in the 1/4 theres no need to go any faster

 

for all those in this thread check the swapable parts sticky, last 5-10 posts or so...

 

I hear you

 

i've gotten 127 outta mine but thats where the gov stops it at..

mine felt stable and its an lt coupe to though..

 

Now ya see I have pegged my limiter and it is stable as ever, Havent on my new tires yet though, probably will tonight.

 

i was on z rated 18 wheels and tires when i got mine up that fast.. dont know how it is when its on the factory wheels and tires.. i had the 16 alloys from the factory.

 

i had the 112 rated tires and found my way around the limiter using the cruise control... I hit 115 on my way home going down I-95 but when I am... spiritedly driving... I cant go past 107 which is gay as hell.

 

it's so funny hearing this talk about trying to go 120mph and such. No kidding......My dad let me drive his ZO6 and I accidently went 135, no cars were around so I didn't feel like I was going that fast. If anyone has driven one, you would know what I mean.

what is it anyway with everyone wanting to have top-speed? I guess some guys have fun accelerating and other like big top-speed numbers.
