i know most of you dont approve of driving fast on public streets. but hey it is what it is.


i was just curious what it the top speed youve got your camry too. ive got to about 95. maybe a little more or less.

[dem2757]

85, in its newer days my dad said he got it up to 100 ish

dont wanna give my labored headgasket any more reason to pop for good.

gotta love my v6 though, once that torque converter locks you are moving along pretty well. its no ferrari butttt

Bounced it off the governer at 110mph. Twice. This was in my mom's '91 base model. My '88 is geared way wrong to go that fast safely... At least not with 240k miles on the engine.

[WhippinCamry]

hahaahaha. damn 110. somethings not right with my car then.
mine will just not go past about 90ish usually. even when pushed all the way basically.

['88 All-Trac]

Yeah, something is up if it won't do over 90. I have issues keeping it under 85... I do all this and, still coax between 30 and 40 mpg out of it. The all-trac only does 25 mpg... I'm thinking of going more performance with it. Not so much to lose with mileage.

Edit: I apologize for any typos. I'm doing this all on my Galaxy S (Android) device.

Most of the gen2 Camrys have a limiter at 180kph (112mph). Some don't though, and I also have a first gen Rev/Speed meter that gets rid to it....

I was able to easily hit the speed limiter in my original 4-cyl 5-speed, my turbo 3s-fe / 3s-gte Camry didn't have a limiter that I found. Once the Alltrac has the new motor, it won't have a limiter because of the Rev/Speed Meter...

This is on a closed circuit racecourse, of course.

PS. I'm scared to find the top speed of my WRX - it should be well north of the original 135mph top speed limiter (removed with an ECU flash).

Where's the speed limiter on a gen2? Is it programmed in the ECU?

My grandfather took his non-turbo, base-model impreza up to 140, just to see if it would max out the speedo...

Yup. In the ECU. You can eliminate it with the standard methods by using the wire that comes from the gauge cluster and goes to the ECU. The ECU doesn't care about the actual car speed other than for the speed limiter (and I think later gen2's might throw a code if the wire is cut and left that way for long enough).

I had my 1991 camry about 120 in fourth still had another gear to go. Its a 1991 toyota camry v6 5 speed I was scared to go any faster.

[91 Camry]

125 in my 4cyl automatic. 5 away from maxing out the speedo.

[Sturdavj]

According to the state trooper 73mph

[WhippinCamry]

91 camry. what do u have in yours? there is no possible way its stock.

[JayLove]

i hit 105mph easily in my SV11.
sometimes i do it on accident.
i've never taken higher
but that's just becuz i dont need anymore tickets.

[Kingdom934]

Didn't do too much. It takes wayy too long to get up to speed.

Also I think my speedo is off a bit. I'm running all stock still, so is there a way to get it re-calibrated?
