Top speed limit of a stock 2000 SSEI?
#71
Silverbullet raised a question a while back on third gear being limitied to 108. Tested that and he is right. In 4th ive been up to 120 or so...old tires so i'm not quite ready to push the limit yet. Once my mods are complete i will tweak the pcm to remomve limiter and change some things like fuel tables and what not....just need to figure out how my tranny is going to handle approx 400hp without buying a bulletproof tranny...heh
The really annoying thing that happens is that if you're in 4th gear at say 115 mph and you nail the throttle wide open, it downshifts into 3rd gear (which should be good to 155 mph at 5500 rpm stock limit) and then the speed limiter kicks in and slows you down.
That'* my biggest beef with my Bonne.
Don't worry though, within the next couple of years as soon as I free up the exhaust, do the suspension and swap to Z rated tires, the PCM will get upgraded to eliminate my peeve. See my wish list items for specifics.

Police are forced to concede that the blowtorch really was for making crème brûlée after finding several of the desserts among the charred and smoking corpses.

If i'd have an SSEi, i think i'd like to open it up myself
It'* intoxicating.

Finally, someone with a 2000 that has actually tried some high speed performance driving to confirm the 3rd gear 108 mph limit.
