[Snowface]

just curious why does the sky have a limiter for 195. is it for car saftey or for goverment regulations just curious.

What is the top speed of a prius? How about a Nissan leaf? Are you in a shoot out with a TDI down the street? The speed limit is 100, anything above that is gravy :chuckle

I'm not sure it's actually a limiter, as much as it is a theoretical top speed. And it is higher than the MZR cars and the GT due to the taller 6th gear ratio.

Wait my car can't hit 195 stock D:

Maybe if you were being pushed by a Lambo....

i got the chance to test my car out on an air strip and it hit 195 in 5th at 5500 rpm.... this is why im asking.. i still have a 6th

Lots of vehicles have electronic limits on speed. Mostly for safety I imagine. In Japan, the GTR is limited to 118 mph and in the USA its limited to 155 mph (Mind you it automatically disables those limits when the navigation finds you at to a race track). I'd bet the Sky can pull faster than 195 km/h but how ofter do you really need that?

112MPH :)

112MPH :)

My mistake :chuckle

I'm not saying you're a liar, I just find that very hard to believe. I'm doing 3,000rpm at 120km/h in 6th gear....I feel like you'd be screaming much closer to redline doing 195 in 5th.....your engine / transmission must not have been happy at all.

you know our cars have completely different transmissions and engines right......

Ill gladly say 3k rpm is nothing, my gfs 04 mazda 3 can hit 180 at redline

I know the engine / transmission is different...but I've also driven a sky and it felt / handled very similar (albeit slightly slower) to my 2.5 gen2. I was still in the 2.5-3k range doing 120km/h in 6th.....drop down to 5th and you're around 3.5-4k at 120km/h. I just dont see it climbing only 1.5k for an additional 65km/h. I'd be surprised to see my car doing only 5500rpm @ 185 in 6th....I really, really dont see it happening in 5th without some damage, or at least bouncing off the rev limiter.

Like I said before, I'm not saying its impossible or that I dont believe you....I'm just skeptical of your numbers based on my own experience driving these cars at high(ish) speeds.

next time you get a chance just floor it until you hit 180. youll hit it before the limiter.
