I have gone 130mph (GPS) on flat ground in my 2.4 with only suspension modded. I did have a flying start and about 2 miles off flat straight road. The gauges said just a bit under 130mph but i was watching the road i couldn't tell you how fast.

i got a G5 GT and i did 130MPH at 6500rpm in 4th gear before i let off, and at the time my car just had the GMP air intake and the GMP cat-back. my friend was in the car and seen it too. im not sure if pontiac is any different but iv heard that it will top out at 137. And actualy it ist to bad accelerating until you hit about 120MPH. However there was almost no wind resistence and i was on a streight highway in pittsburgh. I think it was like the 270 or something.

Not entirely familiar with the ION3... that limit must be for tires.

So... you're claiming that you did 130 mph "going down a mountain"? I wish, for your sake, that your mom had smoked less crack.

You do have an electronic limiter in your SC - it is 158 mph. Hardly slow... more than enough to kill yourself.

wikipedia is not entirely 100% always accurate. Anyways i wonder if the G5 GT's limiter is different or something cuz i did 130 and it didt even cut off when i hit it. Also my freind has the 2.2L and his doest stop at 110. It stopped at 105. But now that its tuned hes done 120 so far.

It is in this case since I'm the one that made that template, those numbers are proven by HP Tuners. Why is it usually 2.4 and 2.2 owners who are in denial of a speed limiter?
