:giggling: What about off a cliff?
Would the limiter keep you from falling faster than 98mph?

One time trippen on the highway between a lamborgini and a LT1 Vette. I was just pulling away and the dam limiter kicked in. Those pink slips would have looked nice on my trophy rack...:D

Re: Top Speed?

I did a little over 90 mph about a month ago in Md. I too wonder what was the top speed on the Hummer H3. Drove pretty good too at 90 mph.

Re: Top Speed?

Well I did honestly do 110mph in mine a couple of weeks ago, I have a reprogrammed pcm with no speed limiter...... :fdance:

I had an Avalanche riding my bumper at 90 and so I punched it, he stayed with me until about 97 when his limiter kicked in.......:giggling:

That was with the 33" duelers and not my 35" STT's and the truck was surprisingly stable at that speed. It was still climbing when I let off the gas...

H rated tires are usually capped at around 125.

I think you did a typo on the R speed rating...shouldn't it be 106?

Let the rest of us know if you find the 5-star crash rating to be accurate.

Re: Top Speed?

Over here in Bahrain, we are limited by the "government" to 170kph... that's 110mph for everyone else, and I hit that limiter quite often ... The H3 can perform, the biggest issue is everyone thinks that 'coz its a 3.5 then it must be crap... well, believe me, it outperforms everything else.. The Range Rover with 4.4 V8, Lexus etc.. the car is GREAT.

Must admit, if they bring out a V8, it'll be adios!!!

Cheers!!!

Re: Top Speed?

Well I hit what appeared to be 99mph, and the limiter kicked in and dropped the motor speed and subsquently the truck back down to about 96mph.

Then it roared again until 99...motor speed drop... truck speed drop...96.
I tried this three times, and then laid off the gas.

Is there a way to change the Computer setting to disable the limiter?

Re: Top Speed?

I've had mine up around 97 - 98 on a few occasions. Never had a limiter kick in. How do you disable the limiter?:dancingbanana:
