Hey everyone, I was just curious why my 05 rs tops out at 125mph. I'm not complaining or looking for a way to bypass this, I am just wondering what prevents my car from going faster. Is it fuel cutoff, ignition, drag, or a combination of things? Thanks

You're not in New Orleans now are you?

 

What do you mean "Cut off on 05 and 06 is 110"? I know I buried the needle past 120. Does "cut off" not mean, stop going faster?

 

I thought the 110-112 cutoff was only for 4EATs.

 

if you chip it, you can prolly get past the limit...

 

Well about 4eat cutting off at 110-112 i dont think so. I have a stock 03 Forester and i have hit 120 MPH and would had gone faster but cops all over the place.

 

I've gotten mine up to 130 with an ECU wart. Checked by Radar at a race.

 

Yeah I think that was just the early Impreza L models.

 

I have an 05 RS Sport with a 4EAT. My car shifts from 3rd to 4th at about 100-105mph. If I'm on a flat road with a head wind, 4th gear doesn't seem to pull any faster, maybe 110 if I'm lucky. I was going down a hill and I had my GPS with me. After my 3rd to 4th shift at 105, my car pulled pretty good and I burried the speedo past 120. My tach hit 5000 rpm and the speed limiter kicked in. It was very subtle, not like the rev limiter. My GPS comfirmed 124 @5000rpm. I would assume we could go much much faster @6250rpm, but it would take a long stretch of road and a lot of time to go any faster than 125mph in an RS.
