I decided to be stupid tonight and do a high speed run on the highway. I got to 6k rpms in 5th gear before the shaking made me regain my sanity and slow down. Someone do the math and tell me how fast I was going. The speedo was pegged, so I'm not sure...

 

Assuming you have the 90 TII listed in your profile, with stock-diameter tires and a stock diff, and the engine was doing exactly 6000rpm, you were doing 143mph.

 

Which means you should be shot and hanged.

 

Ok, so i didn't really do that. But my newer FC isn't stock. I was just curious. I haven't done something that insane with it. But I thought the tranny could go to 190 something, so what would 6k rpms be? It's definately not 143 mph. What is it?

 

that sounds about right... I've been up to 130 and I was at like 4 or 5k.

also.. the speedo goes alot higher than 143....

 

my old fb with the 12a and a non-working speedo, i went to 6,200 rpms in 5th gear which i estimate as about 130 mph because when the police pulled me over and gave me a ticket for 115 i was at 5300 rpms and the rate of speed/rpms seemed like that. BTW i lost my license for a year
i HATE the lack of a license, and my 75 hours of community service....virginia's traffic system sucks monkey *****.

did i mention this was my first ticket of any kind ever? f**kin as*holes

 

Only ******* in that story would be you. They're doing their job, they're paid to do what they do. You don't call the guy at taco bell an ******* for handing you your food, do you?

 

Ive done 148 in my 87 n/a. my speedo must be off because i was only at about 6k

 

haha, thats pretty funny now i shouldn't go to taco bell. well it was pretty f*ckin fun. and i still think they are ******** i mean by these legal people's attitudes. yea i can see how i was an *******, and i sincerely apologize to everyone i gave danger to. btw how fast does one of those cop impalas go? maybe i should have run to the upcoming exit, but then i'd be in more trouble if i did get caught.

 

Impala Cop Car as tested by Sport Compact Car:
0-60: 9.25
1/4 mi: 17.02@83.20
Top Speed: 126mph

 

^ how in the hell do they catch anything in those things...maybe like a H2 but thats about it.

 

I am personally glad they took your license away. It protects everyone else that obeys the laws and doesn't go 130-140mph on public freeways (or wherever you did this).

 

yea i understand, but i think i would have gotten the point with a little lesser punishment...i dont plan on doing this crap again, even though it was a lot of fun. dang i wish i would have known thats as fast as they could go, i shoulda ran, but i didn't expect to lose my license, when i saw him in my rear view mirror he was like a 1/2 mile back (long ways) and even after i slammed my brakes it took him a minute to get up to me. i still don't know what i was thinking.

 

I think you know that's completely untrue. My bet is that the punishishment you received is a big part of why you claim you won't do it again.

Yeah, that would've made your situation much better...

 

5th in a n/a at 6500rpms is 145mph i had some cop buddys shut an old hwy down and i tested it out, but dude it was everything but fun, 145mph is to damn fast in that light of a car also ive see what happens to a 2gen at 120mph after a blowout **** that i hit 152mph and quickly slowed damn and you could hear in the video the toyof4s howlin

 

you were goin at 150 or more... done it in the same car....lol
