Cant do it anymore buds.....

Almost lost my license for too long way back when I had my first SC, these cars will easily go up to the speedlimiter around 150. Not worth it.

Finally now at 36 my insurance is cheap enough that when I added my 2000 SC300 it only went up like $50/yr for full coverage.

Please keep it safe, the cars will protect you from most wreaks, but why die to go that fast. Not to mention the brakes stink unless you do the LS or Supra uprgade so what if you kill someone cause your car couldn't stop....

Ok, my 2 cents..... But yeah, it is fun huh? Take it to the track it guys.

$50 and about 15mins of work gets rid of that (aka, installing a speed cut defenser)

Is that the cutoff on the 1JZ?

I can't imagine any SC being limited at 115....or am I missing something?

its the JDM limiter y0. Should be more then gradually picking up. The 1JZ becomes a rocket past 90mph with just intake and free flowing exhaust. You should be hitting it like a brick wall.

154 mph, with a 5 speed sc300, and the video to proove it. My 5th wouldnt spin any faster. Stuk at 154. But i rode my friends Audi S4 the other day reached 165mph in no time, but he is running around 450hp, and All Wheel Drive.

While the SC300 took forever to get to up to that speed.

Holy crap!

IRONCOBRA: How much was that ticket?

130 in my SC But was unsure about the tires rating so didnt go up any further.

All you speed demons make sure you have high speed rated tires before passing 130.

DETUNED 160? That's just nutty bro.
