Not to question you on your speed, but was that going down a hill or behind your vehicle?

100 on my speedo is about 90 on an F Cat speedo. So I am guessing that when mine read 120 I was going around 105mph.

I have only seen 100 once on speedo, usually 98. A little clutch work to perform on the trail.

160km/h on the dreamer. Good enough for me!

Some of these speeds seem really high to me. I've gotten to see 94 mph on the dreamoter, but nothing even close to some of those speeds that have been posted. Could it be that mine only has 1600 miles on needs more time?

I've seen 111 mph on GPS quite a few times on perfect road conditions with little snow for miles at WOT! Gearing, clutching, Flo commanders turned super rich!

Your speedometer is much more accurate than the older ones don't forget. Mine is off by 10% or more, yours is much closer to reality.

I have 05 Vector since new. Top speed is all on conditions at the time. I have seen 108 on the speedo at best pure stock. I have run on lakes one day and have trouble getting to 90 on speedo then the next day same trail and no problem hitting 102 on speedo. Conditions are everything.

My best was 117 mph, all stock motor, clutching, gearing, track. That was my best, but the trail was slightly down hill, lol. On a flat trail right now with my same sled (2008 vector ltx gt, 18,100 miles) I can pull 106-109 mph. But that is only with the best conditions. I am pretty happy with it.

Definitely. I had it pegged today for 2 miles on UP 2 and it wouldn't pass 90 speedo. It's been so cold the snow doesn't pack.
