what's the top speed for a factory 3000GT SL(without any modification)?

I've had my car (SOHC) up to 153... plenty of room left... and it just seemed to top out... the sad thing is the car was still up on jack stands...but on the interstate I had it at about 147... it was freakin awesome...

I have a 95 Sl with ATX..and the manual says that 143 mph is the max then the rev. limiter kicks in..
I have been up to 130 before for a few seconds on the highway....when I got the car it had less than 28k miles on it...I hadda see how it handled at high speed.

Mofo...was rock solid..the faster I went the tighter it felt..then I hadda slow down..things were flying by like I was in the twilight zone..and didnt wanna get too comf. hehe...It was a blast..
This little stint made me very proud of my car!!

THats what I was thinking. ATX's actually have higher top speed than MTX's right.
yeah but lack HP limits it to going that fast, w/ the amount of HP they make, thats about as fast as it will go :bandit:

i have honestly done 155 and then ran out of road, and ran out of balls lol. once i get my brakes upgraded then maybe one day i will hook up the GPS in my car and see what happens :eek:

hey 3kgtdude what wheels are those in your sig, i really like em

hahahaha thats fucking hilarious. I think you should subtract ~30mph on each of those...youll be a little closer.

Here is the complete honest truth. 5th gear, I had my 95 SL @ 147....and she really didnt want to go much more. Mightve been able to squeeze a couple more out...but it definitely wasnt loving life. Mods....K&N cai, underdrive pulley, ground wires....just basic shit.

Why do people lie so much? :p
