153 at 6400 rpm in 5th. It could do a little bit more but the end of the road was in sight...

Only two closed AFB's in Upper Penninsula of MI that I can think of. The one that you most likely visited was Kinross/Kincheloe AFB which was closed in the 1970's.

Here is an interesting link to it: http://www.kincheloe.net/reunion/letters.html

The other AFB is KI Sawyer in Marquette, MI. It now has a very active Lake Superior Region SCCA following of events!

Say what happens if you were to get busted out there doing that? Are you in more trouble than you would have been on the highway? Might be time for a road trip

145~7mph I would say. It was kinda hard to tell. I will try for faster when I get better tires and a longer road or more HP which ever comes first.

P.S. that is in a FD

Speedo said 130mph (more like 120 actual) just last weekend racing a friends Blackbird (#14). Can you say thirty car-length lead? I lost of course.

Holy sh*t my car shakes alot at high speeds with

This is the drive every day to work on I-20 to Loop 12 to Davis St. Sometimes, I'll take it out to 110 MPH if the traffic is light like Saturdays. The cops can't position in the middle because there is no useable middle for most of this route due to construction or poor planning. They spend their time on I-30 and all the tollways when they're not kicking down doors...

My 88 SE and I hit about 100-110 mph everyday on the last straight by my college. Did a top speed run once (at night, lights full up), hit about 125 or 130 and chickened out. Scary as hell doing it on a two lane road in the middle of the woods.

My 84 GSL has never (since I've had it) had it's wheels spin faster than I can turn them. Ask me again in a month or two.

Spencer

I've got my '85 GS with GSL-SE limited slip rear end up to 110mph at 4500rpm in 5th on **** tires and a bumpy road. Not sure how off the speedometer is after the rear end swap though. I got my '86 B2000 pickup up to 115 at 5500 rpm in 5th and thought I was going to lose my bedliner.

BadAssRX-7

i did 110 mph on the dyno in 4th

rx7dawg

Whats up with some of the Rx-7s only goin between 85 and 115 mph? That is very weak, I have a 79 Rx7 stock, with the point ignition, standard exhaust and a K&N. I have had the car most recently at 127 with pedal left when I ran out of room! Come on guys, some of those Turbo IIs are suppose to be bad ***!

peejay

rx7dawg, keep in mind the speedometer is rather inaccurate... on my '80 it was about 10-15% too high! So I doubt you were going 127, unless the K&N magically gave you an additional 30hp...

D'oh!!

rx7dawg

As far as I know, my speedometer is just fine. If you want to go 127, I ll be happy to take you for a ride. No the K&N is magic but it did help a little, mainly on gas milage. And as far as the post I wasnt refering to exactly to you, just those who brag about goin 85' lol.

last spring after post prom on the way to a party, my date and i were cruising down the big street of town. after coming over a hill and seeing no head or tail lights in any direction, i looked at her, dropped into 3rd and floor it. this was in my dad's stock 95 vette, rather quickly we hit 120 and 130. then slowly we made it up to 150mph (digital speedo) before i had to hit the brakes because were were coming up on some traffic. not bad for a 17 year old, eh? haven't had a chance to make a run in the 84 gsl-se yet, it's been in the garage getting suspension upgrades all winter and spring. maybe this prom when i get the vette i can hit the 161mph listed top speed.
