Did you ever floor your GS ??
and what was the top speed ??
If not how fast did you ever drove it ?
my top speed is 247 Km/h..(aprox 155 M/h); that's fast, and the car starts to float....
yours??

About a month ago raced a BMW 5 series on I-95.
We were going at it around 3 o'clock in the morning.
Both of us got pulled over by TWO police cars, one for
me and one for him. They clocked us at 137 mph. That
is the fastest I've gone "documented". LOL
It's a beautiful feeling, speed I mean.

Cops were really cool about this one.
They told me that I had two options:
they can either impound my car or take it
easy on me. So I chose the second one and
got a $700 and something ticket. I don't
know what happened to the bimmer, I took
off before they let him go. God loves me, I guess.
And I definately appreciate that.

Todd,
That's weird, bro, cause I have not touched the governor.
I don't even know if I have one.
I'm sure I do since it's the US of A.
I'll see what I can come up with.
Regards.

I think they set the governor depending on your factory wheel/tire setup. They don't want you going too fast for your tires and killing yourself when one blows.
I don't know if Lexus does it that but it could explain why some people can hit their governor and some can't.
I haven't pushed my car yet but I just got new tires so maybe....
I mostly drive slow short trips but the Lex is most fun on the highway.

i've never hit a speed governor.. my car did 170mph on the dyno on the stock engine with nitrous, and just the other day on the gte engine and japanese ecu i did 178 on the dyno. on the street i've touched 160mph so far. speed is good...at the right time. ![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
*edit.. i just remembered i do have a SaRD Run Up speed limiter cut. other wise the stock aristo ecu has a limiter.
