is this on the 12a...?that would be very impressive. i personally dont like going over a 100mph...but i have gotten my car to 130 and the wind was knocking it all over the road so i let off.

 

I've gotten to around 135 in my old 85 gsl-se, but I have only gotten up to around 95 in my 85 gs so far...to scared of tickets here in cali. And I really need an airdam.

shm21284 I hope you are using a rather large wing, front and rear. I saw a video of a 7 flipping over backwards going something like 200 mph. Be carefull doing that ****. AND BRING US LOTS OF VIDS!!!!!!!

 

Have really gone for a true topend run yet,but the speedo has gone to 100mph.

This was done to do a fuel flow test,and it was in 3rd gear.

I`am all for acceleration,and not so much topend.

i hit 130 and climbing in my gsl-se, the road started getting bumpy and wavy so i let off, that was ******* scary

 

I think most of you dudes over A buck30 are full of ****! I wouldnt want to do much mor than that in one of these little cars I have video of a FD @215 that flips out of control in Utah Too big to upload sorry

 

137mph, radar clocked, England AFB, closed runway, 85RX7,13B 80cubic inch, Rotary Performance Camden roots-type supercharger, Haltech fuel injecton system, Nology hotwires,NGK plugs, Secret Weapon cols air intake. 132lbs/FT @2000rpm,over 182lbs/ft@6500,never goes below170lb/ft between 4000-8000rpm. 0-60in 5.2secs Out ran my 88 Conquest TSI with 20G turbo an all kind of mods

 

110 stock 12a except mindtrain exhaust in evening on I-95

I could have gone faster but an ******* driver almost killed me when he cut in front of me....

so not again for a while...

 

well, for the redline in 4th and us that are full of crap.



got more out of it a couple times, guessin 135 or so. switched into 5th once, but it seemed to drag.

 

I'm sure my 7 & would have gone another 20 mph faster but I was unsure if my license covered airspace. It got scary light at 120mph. I hear side moldings help.

BTW: I think the Ferrari would be solid at 160 or so. Sweet!.

i hit 135 in my 79 going up cty B on a back road in wisconsin, the bumps were scary and i felt like i was going to crash. and i hit 115 in my stock 83 gsl

 

When my SE was stock I got it up to 120. Haven't opened it up since, although she does do that now in 4th with plenty left.

 

~150mph

 

I just know, that I have hit 75mph at least a couple of times.

 

for you alex that was probly in the 1/8 or 0 - 4 sec.

 

145~before it shifted lane by itself. ***** shrunk to pennies

Still looking into spoiler kits to keep it down

 

~50 on my dirt road top that! ... sorry its not legal and can't really afford to get speeding without license/insurance.. =)

 

ahh i only did 120 in my stock 83gsl...

but i have done 157 in the turbo probe and 150 on the bike... both of their top speeds sadly... maybe when i get another 12a and an *** load of work it'll be fast fast... i hope... but isn't that all of our dreams, when we are broke college students...

ok i'm done

 

180kph in my old 85 GS, wheel alignment was out a bit which made it damn scary above 160k

 

i saw that video of the rx7 flipping over on its top speed run. I will do a helluva lot of research before doing the 200 mph thing. If i add a big wing, or even a wing at all, i will need a lot more power.

And yes, its on the 12a that i plan on doing it. there will be tons of videos. dont count on it for a year, though.

 

Hey, 140 ain't that fast. In a solid high performance car, it's in a trip to the 7-11. But for the 7 w/ stock hp at 95, it's everything.

Snapshot your making us all look bad with your very expensive sports cars =( course a car worth 100 000 with go faster than a 2000 dollar car with 95 hp... Just what different people can afford and what kinda cars they like... I would never be able to afford insurance or a ferrari in the first place so most of us can only dream and in the mean time modify are 7's =)

 

Well the insurance cost is actually not much different, but for less than the cost of a tune-up on the Ferrari you could double the 95 hp of the RX-7. As to which car is "faster," refer to the IMSA results for 1979-1985 you will find the RX-7s typically beat the Ferraris in every race.

The RX-7 is a solid high performance sports car and quite capable of travel at those speeds as many can attest. Aerodynamic devices help and as with any car it needs to be well-maintained with good tyres, suspension, etc. With worn suspensions and steering the nose will get very light and drift resulting in permanent damage to the car (i.e. crash).

 

Its just a 328, dan. You can pick those up for fairly cheap. My dad almost got one for 18K. And that thing will do 140? I thought those were kinda slow, but Ive never driven or rode in one, so I dont really know.
