It was awhile ago so it might have been in the lower 140's, plus at that speed I'm always skeered to look at the speedo and take my eyes off the road. With the diablo and 4.10's I've hit the 140+. I would like to get some pics just to be sure of it. Without the chip the car shut down at 132.5. Damn limiter.
118 in the quarter mile when I had just nos on the car and spraying about a 75 shot. Havent topped it out, don't know if I ever will
118 and it felt goooooooooood!!! :w00t:
100 I know i'm slow :D
i was racing an import on the freeway at 2am in the morning. i had a 86 mercury capri i put a 140mph speedo in the car. the cop told me he could keep up with us. the cop said we were going about 140 -145mph. i won the racing i was 3 car ahead of him. it was scary as fuck.
and you still have your license?Quote:

thats why street racing is not very cool!

:nya: Ill admit i only brought up my car to about 90 thats about it becuase of the cops all over the place.
I hit redline in my Cobra on 3rd, which is about 140 MPH. I wasn't really staring at the speedo to be honest, but after I shifted to 4th I let off the gas.
I took the GT vert up to 135, and the fastest I've ever taken a car was a calculated speed of 157 MPH in my '94 GSX with a 16G turbo @ 17 psi. I took it all the way up to redline in 5th. The speedo only shows 145 MPH, but by calculating gear ratios I came up with 157.something at its redline in 5th.
That was, believe it or not, racing a black 360 Modena... He was gaining on me all the way up, and literally walked me once I passed 5000 RPM in 5th (I think that was about 145 MPH).
Damn Ferraris, haha... And just before people here think I'm a fool that thought a GSX could beat a 360, I did not know what kind of car it was until he was just behind me... At 2 am, at freeway speeds, and about 10 car lengths behind me, I thought I was playing with a 350Z, no joke... This was almost 2 years ago.
fastest ive been is 120
...142
I went 120 in the stang, but I wasn't trying to see how fast it would go, was just making my point to some chick in a BMW.
I had the Fairlane running @ 4800 in 4th gear, the speedo is broke, so I can only guess. The rear end is 2.73 gear ratio.
I've pegged the needle at 155 plenty of times, but I can only prove that I've gone 125mph.

150 something i think
3.73's almost redlineing 5th my tach only say's 140 and it was well pased that...
i was racing a friend of mine in his vett and he said he was aroud 150 and i was moving away from him so im not really sure how fast i was but it felt great and i want
MORE!!!!!
That's about 155, that's where I was in my 95 when I had the felony style traffic stop. Stupid ass car has flames shooting out the pipes because my Speedbrain didn't cut fuel properly on decel...One more thing for the police to bitch about.Quote:

:nya: my spedos messed up because of the 275 55 R17 but i gess over 150 in my car whell over 200 mph in others when i worked at luxury automative in downers bentley's Porsche and lambo's oh my he he
how about 7.90 @ 185 in the quarter? is that fast enough?
:nya: not 2 bad i gess he he
glad to see some real racers and shops coming out to play welcom next time im in the area ill have to stop buy
I had my GT with 4.10's hitting the rev limiter in OD. Speedo needle was wrapped back around and pegged at the little peg at 0 mph. The intersate lines had blended into 1 solid line. I have no idea how fast it was but according to the online speed calculators, with 4.10 gears, 18" wheels and 6K rpm's, it was right at 162. So if the calculators are right then that's what it was. I double checked with a couple other calculators and they all pretty much said low 160's.
The RSX is geared to reach ~174 MPH in 6th gear, but is impossible due to aerodynamic drag. I've had it to 135 ish in 5th and it was still pulling.
Not to mention, HP... To reach the vicinity of 175 MPH in a car with a coefficient of drag between .29 ~ .32 (most small compacts fall in that range), you would need about 320 ~ 350 HP... You could always go downhill, though... heheQuote:
