Top speed
#2
I got my base 86 up to 130mph. I think the s5 cars weigh more which offsets the hp increase. Your motor might be tired as well. But your 122mph sounds about right.
Maybe with a drop-in k&n filter with new cats & exhaust you could get to 130mph+

I don't think RX's had a governor
Oh and damn i thought my gayomatic was slowing down my fc, all stock I was able to hit 119 with automatic.... car reaches 90 much quicker now after the few upgrades I wonder if I could hit 130 hmm
Automatic hits 119 and stops which is a few 100 rpm below when the 2ndaries kick in

if i recal correctly the GTU has 4:20 gears in the back while the GXL has 4:10 gears so the GTU would have a slightly lower top speed. i dont think those ratios are correct but i know the GTU has shorter gearing

I was going down highway 5, probably went WOT for well over 15-20 mins the temp started rising and the rpms wouldn't go higher, due to the 3rd gear of the automatics.

I did a GPS read 120MPH in an 91 S5 vert with an S4 engine with non functional aux ports and a slipping automatic transmission.... If you can't top that I think something is wrong.

I got my S4 GXL up to 133mph with nothing but K&N intake and Pace Setter headers. I almost died but it was probably capable of more if we had a longer road. It was ***** quick up to 80 and then kinda stalled out and took a w hile to get past the dead zone but then took off again.
With my TII I have only been around one hundred mph cause i'm still tuning it. I need to get to my local drag strip so I can actually open up my car and get it dialed in.

Top speed on an USA spec stock non turbo vert is about 125 MPH. On an USA spec stock non turbo coupe it is about 133-135, top speed on an USA spec stock Turbo is about 140.
And remember that 99% of the FC speedos out there are off (+ or -) about 5 to 10% at speeds above 100 MPH. So if you are basing your top speed by the speedo and not a GPS unit, then chances are you are not see the correct speed.

i dunno know about you guys but even though my GXL could get up to 133mph it was a useless fact. I mean simply that it took so long to get there that it didn't matter in most cases. Most of the roads are limited to 45 where I live and aren't any good for racing around, the highway is even too crowded for anything above 80mph most of the time. The best part of the rx7 power band was always from 10 to 100mph for me, after that it got too slow if you know what I mean.
My turbo fc is probably pretty fast all out but it stays under 60mph for the most part, it just gets to 60 really quick.
