Are the 2K2 6spds governed/speed limited?
I was doing some 'exploratory abandoned highway' driving last night and I decided to probe the limits of my car. It pulled good until about 5200rpms in 5th gear at around an indicated 142mph and then it just seemed to stop pulling. This would indicate that it is governed, is this true? I thought I heard someone say that the 2K2's top out at over 155mph.

Of course some people are going to jump all over this thread and point out how the 2K2 sucks cause it's no faster (or even slower) than the other gens, but I don't think that's the case. 2K2THEMAX had his automatic 02 up to 155 (speedo indicated) and a 147 GPS meaured.
You did not hit a limiter. The engine cuts out when you hit a limiter. It's very similar to hitting the fuel cut when over revving the engine. You ran into nature's limiter. You did not have any more power to overcome the air resistance of your vehicle.

I am guessing you were somewhere near the top end of the max.

Yeah, I guess it was just wind resistance. I didn't have it floored in 5th all day so I guess it just took a little while. It was pretty windy last night that I think about it. I'll save another run for a perfectly sunny day with no wind. Thanks.
