I took the car on a top-speed run today, i don't know of it's just me, but has anyone ever found a point where the car stops accelerating? (GS430) DAMN this thing just doesn't stop climbing!! i had to stop at 140 because the thing was hitting construction the next few miles down and i could see cars in the distance

 

147 or so was top for me.

 

Top speed on the GS is in the 150's I think. You were pretty close to V max, although at that speed the time needed to get from 140 to lets say 155 would take a lot longer than 75-90 mph.

 

jesus christ though guys, it was sure as hell pretty fun to get there!

 

MY top speed was more than 260km/h on my 460..

 

260km/h? u sure? that's over 160mph... i dont think our gs's go over 160

 

Not till you hit something

 

I had mine up too 145 trying to keep up with my boys 2009 m3 it did suprisingly well considering! i was a little nervous running that fast with a 245/30/22 on the car the beemer got up to 165 and i wasn t that far behind

 

Been there done that!!!

Mine fuel gets cutoff at 141, so my GS tops out at 140 MPH...

That really sucks, b/c I know some CL members GS can go upto 150+ MPH!!!

I wish I did not have to get raid off my SupraTT (550WHP, chicken out at 186MPH) or ZX7RR (178MPH) when I got married,but again I might not be here today bytching about it!!!

 

yep, 260. Guess gulf spec cars are different :P ima vid it sometime :P

 

i went 248km/h in my old S13 Silvia lol speedo maxed out at 180 but i had speed cut removed when i had a chip installed, so i had to work out the RPM @ 100 in 5th and then do the maths...

damn spewing cause if id known i was that close to 250 i woulda kept it going..!

 

GS430 and GS460 only go 155 mph, as they are electronically governor limited. The speedo always gives a bit higher reading that what is the real speed, maybe around 5-7 mph too much at that speed. For a pretty accurate speed pls check the speed from the navigator. Comparing the speed at navigator display and at the speedo, I recon that at speeds around 125 mph, the speedo exaggerates the real speed by some 5 mph. Speeds over 140 mph are no problem for GS, it is still handling truly well and is very stable at breaking.....

 

**** that, i think the fastest i got in the GS was like 110. i dont think i could ever push my car to 140

 

haven't pushed my baby over 85

 

Yeah there isn't too many places near here where we can reach those speeds. I once did 147mph in Jersey with my Maxima, but the most i've hit with the GS is 115 or so. Too much traffic in Philly.
