What is the fastest you have gotten your HCH II to?

 

Can't say personally, as I pick mine up tomorrow But, the speed governor is at 112mph I believe.

 

Nearly 70 mph!

 

I've done mid 80's (down a steep grade!)... 72 on level road (drafting a truck and getting 55 MPG!!!).

 

Backed off @ 83 mph, lol.

Thankfully I am getting the knack of the "Pulse & Glide" & reasoning to know just when to tapp, and/or let off the foot feed to maintain constanst revolutions per minute, and/or miles per hour decending/accending the 70 mile haul to work ( seems to be one steady freefall north to the MLPS/St. Paul metro. untill quitting time, then it is the basic uphill trama, lol ).

As it is, capped things off at 83 mph one day with-in the first couple weeks out of frusration of not understanding the difference in driving ( not knowing for that matter ) techiques considering the difference in terrain of the comings & goings to work. Taching the rubberbands out at the redline as fast as I did was enough say "Whoa"!!!! Easy to say though, that given time and a steady pace the "HCH II" could cruise without harm pushing 90-95 +.

The tech @ the dealer say 109 mph is topps.

"When the vehicle reaches the maximum speed in any shift position, you may feel the engine cut in and out. This is caused by a limiter (112 mph, 180 km/h) in the engine’s computer controls. The engine will run normally when you reduce the speed to below the maximum."

This from the online owner's manual. I don't trust too many "techs" out there

 

I got it to 110-112 mph, when the limiter kicked it. It was running surprisingly well at that speed. Very happy with it.

 

I guess he biting his tonuge about right now. lol

 

I've only gone about 76 in my HCH. Don't feel the need. I had an '01 Nissan Sentra when I lived in Germany for 3.5 years, though, and I got that to 126. Not that it is really relevent, just that it's odd for me that I've peaked at 76 in my HCH, but I used to set the cruise at 90 just 6 months ago.

 

As most speedos overestimate it is quite posible that when your speedometer maxes out at a reported "112" you are actually going 109 -- if you want to get TECHnical.
