    another post about the governor and M5 , top speed!

    I'm got a european camaro M5
    We've got H rates tires, chevy clams 201 km/h top speed (125 mph)

    my question is:
    with my mods, on the 4th speed at 5500 rpm, I'm at 210km/h (130 mph)
    and then I shift to 5th speed (I don't remember the rpm) the speed fall to 205 km/h, is it the governor or a lack of power?

      i've never had my car that fast before, does it feel like it's cutting out at all? if it's not, then yeah, it's lack of power. the car has to make enough power in that .74 OD gear to push it thru the air it's displacing....
      probably don't make enough power at .74 od @ 4xxx rpms to go faster than 130...

        Yeah, I agree with navyblue. Probably just not enought power to push it faster in that OD gear.

        It isn't uncommon to have a 5-speed that reaches its top speed in 4th (or a 6 speed that reaches its top speed in 5th)

            if you are doing 4500 rpm in 5th then that is a speed limiter I hit it in mine. If not then you are just running out of power. Also since you have H rated tires your car should be governed @ 130 I think forget what H rated is
