downhill, perhaps. Otherwise, the computer should shut it off around 140ish.

the 92's are suppost to do around 165 from what i've heard... the later years are limited to 143.

Lwin,

isnt it correct that there is no governor on the 92?

Ive gone 130.. On I-35 in South Dakota.

I heard the 92's wernt governed.. but would max out around 155 due to resistance from air, tires, etc.

There was no govenor from the factory, but I think the update ROM puts in a governor..

I did 153 mph at 3 a.m. on a highway.
I had to brake then cause there were some trucks in front of me, but there has been still reserve. I don't even know how fast it can go, but believe me - I don't want to try it again that fast!

i didn't think a 1980 928 could even do 165. mine was an '87 S4. the factory top speed was quoted for the S4 as 165, although i have the video with Al Holbert setting a few land speed records (production) when the '87 S4's first came out at 172mph.

Was on 287 yesterday did 130-135 (somewhere between the 2) after being road-raged at by a guy. Used the metalmaster pads and raceconcepts rotors with SS Lines to bring it down from 130->60 quite quickly, no shaking etc. Very good feel.

130. I have no idea how fast it'll actually go, and I won't know unless I get access to a very long straight on a track. Road America would be nice...

The '92s and '93s are not governed, but how fast mine will go past the 143mph 'estimated' top speed, I don't know. As comfortable as the car felt at 130, that's way too fast on a 70mph freeway anyway.

145 on i-90,night time about 2:30 am, clear road and conditions. no cops. Got caught doing 111mph on i-90 back on 4-july,99. Currently,my lisence is suspended 'till aprill 23. damn! It sux!

And i thought that being supspended for 2yrs and 7 months was bad. I finally get to get my license back in DEC.

umm i had my svx up there a few time si dont drive it on trips too often but i made it from orlando to tampa in 20 mins before, averaging 130 mphs i think the fastest i had it.. the svx brakes scares me, so i keep the speeds down

#27 09-23-2002, 10:22 AM

I accelerated to 105 getting on a highway, and while I know my '92 could go much, much faster, I can't imagine what would happen if the cops clocked me at 100mph+ Jail? $$$$Fines? I'm just too scared to really open it up.

Aredubjay · #28 09-23-2002, 10:24 AM

~135

#29 09-23-2002, 12:50 PM

DavieGravy · #30 09-25-2002, 01:32 AM
