Burried speedomiter...
Burried speedomiter...
I burried my speedomiter needle past 140 mph on saturday. That was fun but the bumps scared the crap out of me...GLE bouncing off bumps at 140+...that was a blast. Has anyone else ever burried your speedo? I know GXE's are limited at 120, but are GLE's limited at all? Mine didnt feel like it was.

Ya, but you felt how fast it accelerated. I don't have much use to go that fast, but getting up to speed is a different story.

I got my GXE up to 128mph between Wyoming and Fort Collins. It was not very scary, but I flew by a highway patrol when I was slowing down at about 115mph. He was just sitting on the exit and dint even chase me. He must have been napping.

well i remember when i had my VeeDub that i was on my way to talli in fl. and i was goin about 115 just chillin on my way to see my grl in fsu when going the other way a state trooper turns on his lights turns around and starts heading after me.... luckily i had just passed these like 3 trucks and while one was passing another the damm cop was caught behind themm... so i step on it and get off on the next exit which was like almost 8 miles ahead
next thing i know im on some interstate road, which really wasent a road it was more like a dirt track... i went looking at the sun making sure i was going the same was as the highway and like 45 min later i found a major crossing and i got back on the freeway... oh baby what a rush... it was great

above 140
I more than burried my speedomiter, I was about 5mph beyond 140. I figured the car was going about 145mph, that was with only POP charger. Since than I got a y-pipe, cat, and a cat-back. I am hopping to get my friends car in front of me because his speedomiter goes up to 150. Than I will see how fast my max will go.

I know the GLE's are the slowest because they have the most sound deadening in them. I also know that no one is envious of them, I didnt mean to imply that. I know Canuck personaly and was just busting his *****. I was not going down hill the whole time. There were straightaways where I also more than burried the speedo, Im guessing around 143-145 mph. So far, only 2 of us have burried it?

I know it seems like a stupid question, but with the combination of options I have its truely troublesome. No leather, bose system, moonroof, hubcaps, VIN # INDICATES ITS A GLE, no limiter on speed(obviously) and its auto. You try ti figure it out, cuz I cant.

has body coloured door handles, spoiler, spottys, alloy wheels etc.
Speed limiter is at about 200 I guess and when you get there, It cuts fuel till it gets back to 170.

Do you have:
fake wood trim?
fuzzy A-pillar trim?
pop-out drawer?
climate control?
leather trim steering wheel and shifter?
If you have these, you should have a GLE...but your car still seems really confusing.
I've heard of some cars being that way... We call them ghetto...
He he he... I'm sorry Kirk I won't bust on you anymore. But really I have heard of special factory ordered cars that way. A person wants certain options but not others... I would call it a GLE when you go to sell it though...
