140 in 5th still pulling while racing an eclipse, i had to stop cause the 100 shot of nos was making the tranny sound awfull

 

What year eclipse? And stock? a 100 shot sounds like some serious overkill for most of them! My n/a can keep up with almost all the Turbo 1G's, haven't had much a chance to try a turbo 2G yet.

 

It was the generation b4 the latest gen and it was an n/a. He passed me very fast when i was cruising @ 90 and i gave chase and he got embarassed

 

Buried my speedo at 240km/h but I also have 17's on with 40 series rubber. I hear that changing wheels will actually change the speedo reading. I;m not sure as to how much it can change though. Anyone know?

 

This thread belongs in the lounge. Other than NZ, its a load of crap. How about this, why dont we have one of our little rotary conventions out at the salt flats and see some of the rocket scientists put up or . . .

By the way, I know where you guys can get a JATO bottle - Makes nitrous look like water.

 

jet assisted take off, 10000lb of thrust for 15 seconds. And just where do you think we'll have a long enough stretch for that? :-D

 

i did a 4th gear pull on the dyno and hit 140mph's in 4th gear thats with 17in rims too that weighed 40lbs each that was a killer

 

Dude, dyno's don't count. Any car can redline in top gear on a dyno, becauses there's no wind resistance.

 

I redlined 4th gear in my old S5 n/a...

 

opsss sorry ..
it's much be 127 not 137
i think icemark web site have these as well.

 

there are some things beingoverlooked here, besides the math presented earlier, there is no account of aero mods or type, remember thgat all other things being equal, a vert is slower than a gtu because of its incresed wind resistance. also, weight does make a difference,if you were to fill your car with heavy stuff, like say lead, it would not be near as fast, you could not get it to go as fast anywhere but on ahill, without the torue to pull the weight at an increasing sped, the car will not accelerate, if the car wont accelerate that it cannot reac its top speeds also top speed in my FB 12a is 120

 

i owned my T2 for about 6 years and there was about 3 times i had the speedo buried at 160, and atleast one of them times it was there for alittle bit and i was still on it, atleast 10 seconds or so and still gaining, these were with all different mods, at all different times, i never tryied when it was stock, i was lucky and had a great running one

 

127 on a cold night
