Hi Neon owners!
I am having a debate with a co-worker about the top speed and red line rpm.
I would appreciate any info as I know I had done 126mph in this car when I owned it. Does anyone know where or can forward a technical sheet or spec sheet showing these figures.
Whould appreciate any confirmation.
Thanks
Jim

 

Fuel cuts out at ~120MPH.

 

rev limiter kicks in at about 6300-6500RPM
havent found the fuel cutoff yet.

at least its not a GM and cut out at like 90MPH

 

How do you figure that it cuts out at 120? I took mine out to the local small airport, speedo said 124 mph and my GPS said 122 mph with 175/70/17 tires (stock). I ran out of runway.

 

175/70/17 is a stock tire size?

 

Sorry, was thinking about my front truck tires that need replacing.- 175/70/14-

 

Ha, that sounds better. That would be a HUGE tire for a small car.

 

How do I figure that? Because that's what it is programmed to do, or so I'm told. Do you have an SRT cluster?

 

yeah i was gunna say hows the speedo say 124 when it stops at 120 lol also darth is right tops at 120 electronically. highest i got mine(bone stock) was 115. bad allignment and struts so it was a bit bumpy and quite scary lol. 115 for 10 miles down 80 is very fun tho =]

 

The higher the speed is, the more "off" a speedometer is. GPS is pretty close, but not 100% accurate either (note the GPS MPH is closer to 120 than the speedometer). The R/T is limited to 130MPH AFAIK, and the SRT-4 is 153MPH.
