    Top speed?

    Anyone ever top out the VX yet...I hit 110 today but that was all I could do before i put either me or someone else in danger on the road....

    I do not think VX will have "hard" time going 110. I never clocked myself - maybe I should find an old airstrip somewhere around here

    Car and Driver listed the top speed as "115 MPH, governor limited"

    Personally, I've never hit the top speed governor, not yet

    Late at night coming home on I-5 returning from a VX meet up in the Bay area I hit 114 (maybe 115) and the governor kicked in.

    Had to try it for myself...;eekr;

    You cant acutally feel it...your rpm just stops and your car doesnt go any faster....im pretty sure if you can get your hands on an aftermarket computer you can change it and red line teh car....but for now the rpm stops under 4000 rpm

    Are you guys running that fast on tires rated for that speed? I'd like to get it up around there one of these days, but I'm running BFG Mud Terrains. Not sure if it's okay for a short burst or if I should shelve the idea totally unless I have more speed-oriented tires.

    the rpm stops moving at 115mph or at around 4000rpm....you can redline it on 1st 2nd and whatever.....as for the tires...most the tires can hit 120 easy.....so don't really worry about it...im using yokos.

    118... heh. I can hit that without even trying with my current ride. Can't go some places the VX can, but it sure it sure can go stupid fast without much effort. Never pushed the VX anywhere near that mark. It ain't a sports car.

    Gonna get a ticket one of these days...
