Top speed.`

[2003Chevy]

How fast have you gone with your trucks? If your speed limiter is higher than stock or is disabled, I really want to know your top speed.

only hit the speed limiter in my truck, but I know she had much more than that in her.

[k1500chevy97]

The fastest I have gone in my truck has been 75 mph

But I remember someone saying that the speed limiter was set for 98 or 99 something like that dont plan on taking it up to the limiter anytime

Ive hit the limiter more times than I can count... Good thing its there....

I hit 90 last spring during a calving emergency.  Had to run home from the west place to get a tool due to a problem and just put my foot to the floor.  Passed a cop doing about 85 while coming over the interstate that trip, he just waved at me.  Around home, if you see a farmtruck going fast as #### there is a pretty good reason why and they know they better not pull it over.

I hit the speed limiter at least once everytime I drive it.

 

And I KNOW it's got well more than 100mph in it.

I hit the speed limiter at least once everytime I drive it.

 

Sounds like the way I drove my '94 S10

Never hit the limiter on the '98 but, wrapped the '89 back around to 35 one morning on the interstate. (thats about 120 mph or so). She had a little more left but I didn't.

Hit the limiter several times in my '99.  :thumb:

 

Haven't tried yet on the '03, but rest assured I will try when I feel like I got enough miles on it!!  Wanna see if that 120 mph speedo is just for show!  (I'm betting they didn't change the limiter, just the speedo    )

The limiter doesn't exactly make things very exciting.  But delaminating a tire trying to see how much faster than 97mph I could go might prove to be too exciting.

 

How 'bout we take this a step further?  What's the fastest you've all gone in a car period?  I have gone 183mph in an open road race in Nevada.  Have it on tape too.  All legal.  I've been somewhere in the high 160s area on a bike.  That wasn't.

About 150 mph or so in a car.

[Shadowfax]

187 in a car. 120 in a truck....... 800mph in an airplane lol.

[SnakeEyeSS]

I'm not sure, the speedo tops at 85.....

[Kansas Kid]

I'm not sure, the speedo tops at 85.....

Yeah, but it comes back up on the other side if you go fast enough.  At least if the speedo on the 1990 pickups is like the ones on my 1989.  Don't ask how I know....

I have hit that pesky speed limiter many times, really need to get rid of it. :thumb: It has scared the crap out of me a few times when I didn't realize how bloodly fast I was going...
