well, the thing was, it was on a wide 2 lane road lined on both sides with just trees for miles in pitch black night time

Ian 03-04-2007 01:06 PM

a little over 130 in my old 87 GTA. L98 with: SLP CAI, air foil, TB bypass, SLP runners, SLP headers, SLP Y pipe, SLP two out the left cat back. 700R-4 with: shift kit. 9 bolt with: 3.27 gears, posi.

the car was still pulling, but I ran out of room.

CALL911 03-04-2007 01:10 PM

Back when I still had the 3.42's I had 5th gear up to 6500 RPM. The gear calculater says 196. I don't know if it actually was that fast, but I'm pretty confident it was well over 180.

iroc89al3 03-04-2007 01:14 PM

145 in the iroc coming home from vo-tech couple times senior year. think i had the borla on not sure.

about 115 in my pos daily driver integra.

120 in my moms new tl...can the dealer tell anything from obd2 on top speeds? cause if my parents ever found out it would be the end of me..

no. unless a code was set while you were going that fast, then the speed and engine rpm would be stored in the freeze frame data.

qwikz28 03-04-2007 01:39 PM

according to that gear ratio site my speedo is off.....

according to that speed thingy i was 170+
according to the dash i was doing ~155 racing a turbo is300 on 287. i only had a catback at that time. i don't think i have the balls to do that again though on the street

turbo Is 300 would you be speaking of mike lol! the fastest Ive gone on 4 wheels is undetermined because the Dakota's speedo stops at 85 once the truck was getting airborne over some bumps in the road I slowed down but on street bike i forget to look at the speedo!

Firebird67dude 03-04-2007 02:37 PM

in the: 67 I hag the needle all the way to the brake light in the dash, car had a 120 mph speedo with a TH350 and 3.55 grs.

93 T/A I hade buried past the 150 mph mark so what ever that would be with 3.73 grs

Friend's 05 Porsche Carrera GT I had upto 187.

nah sold it before i left scotland was considering importing it but couldnt be bothered with the hassle it had not been long in scotland either it only arrived from japan 4 months before i left for states. Single turbo conversion was a big improvement over the TT setup

A good buddy of mine back in IN has one. Together we have changed up a lot including a new fuel system and a single Turbo as well. Those things are monsters! Most hardcore F-body guys will hate me for this, but I am currently saving for one.

ar0ck 03-04-2007 05:42 PM

I've actually only had the Camaro up to 120. I took my dads Acura up to 130. And the fastest I took the S10 was up to 95 :lol:

jin1481 03-04-2007 05:59 PM

hit 140 on rt17 in NC outside of cherry point. Long, flat 4 lane highway and it was a ghostly empty. Slowed down cuz it started curving a little and i was afraid i wasn't going to be able to spot a cop in time. Also had the t-tops off and the windows down, couldn't hear anything but the wind it was crazy.

Just did the calculator thing and i was actually doing 150

TransAm619 03-04-2007 06:02 PM

about 110ish in the 86
about 125 in the vette when pops was on vacation
and 140 in the SS last christmas.. my buddies got a pic of it on his phone, i gotta get him to send it to me
