Re: Top Speed

What do you guys think the top speed for a '97 lsi would be? Im not going to try to find out myself unless i get a runway or something I read somewhere that it was 136 but that seems a little low based on what i see here

Re: Top Speed

I can put a cordless drill on the speedo senor, and realize 160 on the speedo, standing still.

You can't in a european SVX. It has a different type of sensor.

Re: Top Speed

Top speed for USA OBD II SVXes is 143 mph.


I had my '97 up to 137 mph (indicated on speedo) when it was new. I feel it was still accelerating.
