as for me, it turns out all my top speeds were done while on a closed course with all safety regulations and authority approved...
'01 SS, 147, catback & lid
'95 Caddy STS, 150, catback
'03 Ninja, 140, piped
going fast is fun and all, but very dangerous. This is why I am very interested in the possible land speed event idea in the works. And eventually i will get my SS to break 200, even if i need to visit the salt flats.

Agreed doing it the safe/legal way would be MUCH prefferred over the other way. Which closed coarse did you go to? Is there one around here?

interesting question -- on the street 80 MPH has the same feeling to me as going 150 in a race car -- the difference is no one on the track is pulling out in front of you -- jz

120ish in my mustang cause i dont have 5th gear. that was 5500rpm in 4th.
in the GP, i hit like 130, but im not really sure how fast it was cause the speedo stops at 115...the needle was buried in the dash

theres a site out there somewhere that you can put your gear ratios, rear diff ratio, and tire size in and itll tell you what speed youre going at whichever RPM you input...google 'top speed calculator'

112 in my 3.1 cavalier (speed limiter kicked in, would have been good to 130)
140 in my old 83 z28
havent tested the iroc, although should be about the same cause its the same engine/trans as the z.
