What is it ive hit 110 and had planety more to go, but what is it really,

 

[KB G6]

Depends where the governor is set. Unless you have a tune your car will stop at some spot short of 140. I'm thinking 115 but I just pulled that out of my ass.

 

[Gee6Up]

if you got the gxp?

If you got the gxp or gtp you should be able to top out at 140 or more! Hellz I spanked a white acura rsx and I got to a buck 30 and still pulln in my 2006 g6 gt coupe!

Also I was stock then! But since that night I only dropped in a box k&n filter and notice a few good things! Better gas milage when criusing and better acceleration when on the go! Try it! Its recomended!

 

[geewhiz]

Cool!

I know the GTP (which is now the GXP) had the governor set at 115, can't remember what year. But they might've raised it for the GXP. I know it can top out at 140 or more with the GXP, it's just that Pontiac sets the governor somewhere south of 140 so that you can't go faster than that, unless you have a tune with cancels out the governor.

I also put in a K&N filter and the difference is night and day especially when accelerating from a stop. Never personally got it up to 130 (05 GT governor set at 135), cause not enough room on the road for me to get that much speed.

Another reason they are governed at a speed is what tires came stock with the car.
If they are rated at 120 they wont let it go over 115 or 110.

there good year eagle ls2 tires stock from the factory

They are "T" tire rating which means that the tire is only good up to about 118. Most likely your governor is about 115. It's sad that Pontiac would skimp by putting $99 tires on a $28,000 vehicle.

It also got shitty reviews. Stupid link won't work. Go to Tirerack and you should find your tire and its "glowing" review.

my 05 gt cuts of at 125 the end of 3rd gear... if i shift into 4th it will just stay there...

 

[KB G6]

Some say the 05 GT's get up to 135 before cutting off, weird. And no I don't plan on figuring it out for myself.

 

[newtog6s05model]

i wish mine went up to 135... idk why but i do lol

 

[ScaryFatKidGT]

ha have you guys actually gone that fast on the street? ur crazy lol

iv gone 130 in my 98 legacy but when I started to slow down I wished I had alot better brake pads

 

[KB G6]

Me personally no. I only got it to 115 before pulling up when some dick was tailgating me on I-81...mostly because my fiancee didn't want any part of it.

 

[Candy_Red_G6]

Ok.. so i wish my car topped out at 135 or anything other than 110. .

my 07' G6 Base (3.5L V6) tops out at 110. and same thing like someone else said. I hit 3rd, at around 104 and then when it shifts to 4th, i get 6mph more.. then thats it.. thats stupid..


(and yes. i found out on US 24 , runs right through the center of my town.)

stock 06 GTP cuts out at 115 - 120 kinda hard to tell when the needle shoots up that fast.

 

[Earl Flynn]

Somewhere between 115 and 120 for me. I hit this all of the time normally in 5th gear. Wish I could go faster because it sounds like the engine wants more.

MY NEW VICTIM WITH ME HITTING 135 MPH WAS A BMW 323i! Gave that boy a good spanking!

You know you could get a tune that would take out that pesky governor right? Contact Chris at whiteautoandmedia.com or something to that effect. He has the only proven way to get rid of the governor and improve shifting along with other goodies.
