Fast enough that I felt like the car was lifting quite a bit (steering was getting light), and backed off.
Now on a quest to find the best solution to deal with the lift. Last edited by SJ; 09-02-2012 at 08:09 AM. |

I typically don't try and speed excessively but yesterday coming back from a group meet I got a little lost and took the LONG way home which was through farm land highway strips that are empty.

This all one reason it's such a joy living in Nevada. We have one road somewhat upstate from where I live, that goes through a valley between mountain ranges. That road is arrow straight for about 75 miles and has absolutely zero traffic. You can see other cars for miles and many minutes before you get near them, coming or going. Two lanes, newly repaved and 70 mph limit. Four lane divided roads get a 75 mph limit here. No potholes, no cracks. The only thing I hate about living in the Vegas area is speed bumps. This place is the speed bump capital of the world!

First and last warning all of you.
It's bad enough you're doing it on public roads (whether they're empty or not is irrelevant) but posting specific locations will get this thread deleted and offending members reprimanded.

Here's the theoretical top speed, given the limiter has been disabled. I asked the question once before of how fast people have actually gone in their GC, but no one seems to have topped the 156mph mark. I believe most of the people that chimed in regarding how fast they've gone were doing it on a closed track (or so they say).
top speed COPIED FROM FORUM Specs on gear ratios and engine limits from HMAService.com OE tire diameter: 26.67" RPM Cutoff: 6450rpm 2010-12: 2.0T M/T: 165mph/264kph 2.0T A/T (4.1 rear end): 150mph/239kph 2.0T A/T (3.9 rear end): 157mph/251kph 3.8 M/T: 182mph/291kph 3.8 A/T: 199mph/318kph 2013: 2.0T M/T: 182mph/291kph 2.0T A/T: 217mph/347kph 3.8 M/T: 182mph/291kph 3.8 A/T: 217mph/347kph

I provided the correct link to the thread and a title stating that I was copying it from the forum. My apologies if I did not state it clearly enough.

I've only had my Coupe ( 2011 2.0T premium, black on black ) for a month, a week after we bought it we headed over the " Connector " ( Kelowna to Merritt ).
Great highway and very few cars, it was early morning and having the heavy foot that I've had since my teenage days I put the boot to the Coupe. I can't ever remember being that impressed with the performance of any car like that. It was hard to believe this was a four cylinder car, it cruised up grades like it had all the power in the world.

Closing this thread while I clean it up.
Lets go over this one more time since these are the rules that everyone agrees to when joining the site. Gencoupe.com Rules 13. No street racing threads allowed. We do not condone or support any form of street racing. Take it to the track and keep it there. Bans will be on a case by case basis determined by the Staff.
