Speed Govenor on 2.5?
Im in the process of getting stuff for my car, and was thinking about the top speed, does the 2.5RS have a govenor at 120mph? And if that is so any of you guys know any good speedometers out there to buy? Thanks

Some of the autos do have a speed limiter at 112 mph, but those are the only ones.

I have a manual 98 2.5RS, mine wont go past 112mph. I think the ProECM is suppose to get rid of that governor though, but i'm not 100% sure about that.

Yeah, MY98's had limiters, but the rest don't.
Doesn't take much to get the car up to speed... I had a nice clear, cool evening with my car (lowered 1.5", ACT clutch, JUN flywheel) and it pulled all the way to 137mph (calculated off the tach readout). I've also pulled up to about 141mph when boosted. All on closed circuits, of course. |

Hehe although it's already been covered, no limiter on my '99 either Redline in 5th gear and It still could have gone farther

Not in MY98 either
In my MY98 RS-t I hit the rev limiter in 5th gear I believe it was calucluted to be about 155 or so, don't forget MY98 rev higher.

They first time I hit my 112 speed limiter in the GT I though I broke the thing, it was violent. Too my understanding it cuts fuel right, no mechanical device?

So anyone know any good type of gauges that run to about 150 or more mph that would look good in a 2.5?
