Dr. RX Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Gee, the highest posted speed limit that I've seen is 70mph. Of course, I never go that slow either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattocs Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 My 96 OBW (2.2L, 5 sp) tops out at 110MPH @ 5,000RPM. I have had my moms Legacy to 115 before...it also is a 2.2l, 5 sp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarubrat Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 My 04 STI came right up to 170 but just a touch more would have had it hitting the rev limiter so that was the stopping point. It was also clearly the upper edge of any sort of reasonable aerodynamic performance. It is a sedan and not a wedge and it takes allot of power to shove that big thing through the air. If you want to perform well above 160 or so you pretty much need a wedge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadsubaruguy Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 if i remember correctly, subaru puts in a speed govenor at 110mph.. all of the newer subarus that i have driven ( from the begining of the legacy and on) have stopped at 110..... im not sure about the imprezas though......

powderhound Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 My 98 hits a rev limiter at 112mph. We had a 92 fwd sedan that could do 135 down a hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyKeith Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 My 96 OBW (2.2L, 5 sp) tops out at 110MPH @ 5,000RPM. I have had my moms Legacy to 115 before...it also is a 2.2l, 5 sp. Oooh, I think that means 96 is where the 110 speed cut was introduced. I'm pretty sure I've had my 95 Legacy brighton Wagon with a 2.2 and 5spd up to 120, and with up coming traffic I couldn't push it any faster. My 04 STI came right up to 170 So I take it then when you had the ECU reflashed, by Vishnu I assume, that gets rid of the factory speed cut?

bjwirth Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 My 04 STI came right up to 170 170???!!! really?? I hope you were on a track. "back in the day," I did 140 on a motorcycle for about 2 seconds. even then I thought I was crazy. I can't even imagine 170. Let's just say I feel like I cheated death once and I'll probably never drive anything into triple digits again. I'm not criticizing you, I guess I'm just surprised that a sube can go 170.

subie94 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 My 96 OBW (2.2L, 5 sp) tops out at 110MPH @ 5,000RPM. I have had my moms Legacy to 115 before...it also is a 2.2l, 5 sp. my gearing must be diff then yours,cause i was doing 105 the other day an my engine was only at about 4500rpms :-\ do the outbacks have diff gearing then legacys? mines a 2.2 94 with 4.111 for gears(atleast that's what the tag in the back says) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Not that you will really care but a Forester 2.5 na will hit top speed in 4th gear at 6000 rpm. It was a blistering (yawn) 105. It didn't have enough power to pull it past 97 in 5th gear. Maybe at sea level it would go faster. d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" So I take it then when you had the ECU reflashed, by Vishnu I assume, that gets rid of the factory speed cut?" Yep, speed limit, fuel cut, codes for whatever, just about anything can be suppressed or deleted. And YES any such driving was in an appropriate area and setting. The Lambaroo will be a 200Mph + car. The best I can say is that schools work, they are worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I had my 98 legacy 2.2 up to 110mph. What really sucked was the cruise wouldnt engage past 90 mph . Downhill i had it up to 120, but it started getting too "busy" in the front end to hold it there. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 98 Legacy GT 2.5 4EAT ... Ran out of room for the pic.. but I've had it up to ~135 down a 5% downgrade..

I got my 96 GT up to 115 once, and it was an auto. And none of this was done downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnuman Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 92 Legacy Wagon, NA, 2.2L 120 held in rolling hills (gentle grades up and down) at midnight on a straight road in Nebraska on the way home from Boston this week. And my struts are shot at that. All in all, I'm impressed that it handled as well as it did. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 My 96 Impreza with the 96 JDM WRX engine in it has a fuel cut out at about 118mph with is roughly 185kph. Did you even wonder why JDM speedo only go up to 180kph? HAHHAHAHA.... then I wonder why my outback has a 140 mph speedo when the fuel cut is set to 110~112....it still pulls well until that point.
