Holdens don't have speed goveners. the only thing that will stop ya goin any faster is wind resistance. Give ya car more power and she'll go faster....until the gearing runs out

VY2 SS 5.7L A4
My Series II SS has reached my physical limit of 247 acording to my VDP. Yes it was done in the NT on a very straight stretch of unlimited highway. The auto box didn't exhibit what cmelb was saying at all, but didn't feel like it had much more past this point. It may change after the LS1 Edit but I don't know.

Are you sure these figures are right? The speedo on the SV8 and SS goes to 260Km/h. I'm thinking you mistyped the 412Km/h though.

I have the VY NA 3.8lt, its 4 speed Auto and it gets to 200km/hr and changes from 3rd to 4th when in 3rd at over 5000rpm then back to 4th and then back to 3rd at over 5000rpm in little as a second, so it sits in 3rd at 200km/hr and wont go into 4th which sucks.

Why is this and what can I do to get it change into 4th gear when at 200km/hr instead of it sitting in 3rd at over 5000rpm.

Actually I was just thinking along the lines of this and I've had another car do this to me once before, what I did was back of the accelerator a little (maybe 10-15K's) then stab it back into the floor this gave the ECM a shove in the ass and made it remember to change gears. Who knows it might work for you.
