Default gone past 120?

anybody seen a gauge cluster that goes past 120 and can be calibrated so it works. i figured if you had a handheld tuner you could use gt gauges but from a post i made in the americanmuscle section i found out you cant(or atleast it was unlikely)

I don't want to be mean but why do you want a gauge that goes past 120


you might be able to get 120 but it would take a long time to get there and no one really has any buisness going that fast crotch rockets do it all the time but they are just being tools

You could use a GPS. Don't drive that fast man, bad for your health.

It's sad when my gauge only goes to 120 and then I get in a japanese or german economy car and it goes to 150.

Sad.

I know one guy was able to get a Mach 1 cluster to work. If I remember correctly you can get Ford to calibrate a Gt/Mach 1 cluster to work. Not real sure, not really worth the hassle either.

trying to max out our v6 mustangs is like a kid in a smart car drag racing....it is pointless and wreckless not to mention my two best friends were killed speeding. Hitting a tree at 100+miles per hour doesn't have any good results. Yea every once in awhile i dick around with other mustangs and such but i never go into triple digits.

If you're going to race, don't do it on the street. That's go to jail and get your car impounded stupid.

you really don't need gauges that go past 120 on 6 ers... the fastest i ever brought up my mustang to was 115 MPH. ( i have a tuner.) if you want a gauge cvluster that goes past 120, get a mustang GT.

you must be doing something wrong then. from factory my stang was limited to 115 with the tuner i removed the limiter and hit 120 easy i could probably get to 125 or more but ill probably just barrow someones gps not really looking to spend money right now got a project in mind

Whatever you call it, it's still stupidity on wheels.

If you want to drive fast, DO IT ON A CLOSED COURSE. kthxbye.

yeah. The V6 is governed by ford at 117, when it is removed by a tuner you are then limited by power/aerodynamics. I remember someone claiming to have hit around 135-136 area with full bolt ons and the automatic.

Having never seen a Camry's real speedometer, I can't confirm that this is real but maybe someone else can. Either way, it's sad for sixers...



EDIT: HAHAHA, I just notice it's KMH not MPH

Here is the speedometer off of an '08 Accord EX-L sixer, granted it does pull 265hp.

I got my Stratus R/T up to 135 the first night I had it and it was still pulling pretty damned hard.. First and the last time It will ever see those kinds of speeds.

My old '90 Geo Tracker got up to about 85mph, then it started leaning back because the wind was hitting the front so hard. Haha, I remember having friends pick the thing up and move it from it's parking spot to the middle of the school parking lot. Hahaha, good times.

Then his insurance will skyrocket and we'll lose all hope that he gets a GT. Race it at the track.

i only got up to 115, because the road i was on is monitered by cops. and i wanted to see if it would get that high, before i let off and slowed down. my car could get to about 125 - 130 if i really tried.
