    Does anyone know what speed a 2002 v6 camaro is goverened at?

  • #2
    118... Everything was governed at 118 because the tire speed rating...

    Without the govener we're looking into 130ish... maybe 140 if you're going downhill...

      try searching for this... this has honestly been argued over many times... some say 118-119, others say 130ish... personally, my car shuts off at 118, but i got a 95...

          shuts off at 118, with my speed limiter removed though I was able to fairly easily bury the speedo needle into the voltage gauge [img]smile.gif[/img] approx 135.

              So you're saying it is limited to 118. The car doesn't literally turn off, but it shuts off the injectors to keep you from going any faster.

                No the car doesn't completely shut off. That would suck if it did. No power steering and power brakes when going that fast. :D

                  if you have a manual there is no way youd be in 3rd gear.

                  mines cuts off at 118 in 4th gear around 4200-4500 rpm w/ 3.23s.

                        I've hit the limiter in my camaro, felt like hitting a brick wall going idle speed, you suddenly lurch forward from the sudden stop in acceleration.

                          mines not violent at all. its very smooth and it just goes up and slows down a few mph.
