is there a limiter on the aveo or does it top out

[computerkiller]

i had my aveo up in the 100-110mph and i was wonder if that toping out or is it rev limited or engine cut off because i only had it up for a little bit but i couldnt stay at the speed due to i had to get off the highway

and if it is limited does anyone know how to remove the limiter

I believe some people have been up to 119... i think brian has for sure, among many others.

There is no speed limiter, only a rev limiter

ya thats for sure i hit 200km/h a couple of weeks ago and it still wanted to go.

The way i found out there was no speed limiter is that i tried it on an outside skating rink last winter lol! 5th gear at redline on ice and the speedo needle was nicely sitting on that little button to reset the tripmeter... yeah no speed limiter but i did hit the rev limiter in 5th gear

Based on gearing and redline at 6500, I think the max speed calculates to be around 150 mph. Getting there is a whole other story!

but how would i overcome the rev limiter with a automatic tranmission

i've got up to 115mph on the highway, but i also had my fiance in the car and lots of bags for our trip

probably could overcome the limiter by getting an EMS... but you'd probably kill your transmission

you dont unless you use a piggyback or some type of management system that allows you to do that....the auto for the aveo sucks compared to a 5 spd...ive felt the difference first hand

[computerkiller]

i dont know it ill just leave it a auto for now ill buy another car before i decide to convert iam looking towards the Surbru WRX STI
