What's the fastest you've got your Deville up to? - 10/25/2007 9:56:42 PM    420Deville   Posts: 33 Score: 0 Joined: 9/28/2007 Status: offline I topped mine out at 110 MPH and then the computer cut the gas off to the engine. If it didn't have that cut off switch I could have easily got up to 130-140 MPH. In the owners manual it says that they cut off the engine there because the tires aren't rated for speeds over 110, I wonder if I'd be able to have that cut off switch disabled if I got better rated tires? So what's the fastest you've toped your Deville out at? Post #: 1

Backed off because the speedo doesn't go any higher than that and i didn't want to damage the thing or the car. Yeah faster rated tires, now were talking. (in reply to 420Deville) Post #: 2

That's fast enough. The fastest I drove any car was 240, my BIL's 5.0 LX back in the day. V rated Gatorbacks on that Mustang. Look back on that now and think how stupid it was. < Message edited by Katzmans Caddy -- 10/26/2007 1:52:11 PM > (in reply to Stealth) Post #: 4

Indy Allante could run 155mph before speed limiter kicked in, I knew someone who did it on the D.C. beltway, he said it was a trip,  never lifting as engine started misfiring. I, myself, 125 mph in a 95 SLS could of gone faster I think ,but I was on a narrow 2 lane highway  in deer country at 1 am. I am courious what a euro seville would top out at.  (in reply to brougham1) Post #: 6
