How fast have you had ur FC

Hey,

Just wondering how fast some of you guys have taken your FC's. I've hit 260km/h and things started to get interesting. And also what kind of things could I do make it feel nicer at quick speeds.

Cheers
Chris

I've only had mine up too 180km/hr but only because thats when the buzzer kicks in, hopefully going to disconnect that this weekend, looks fairly easy from the wiring diagram. Still very stable at 180 though

One of my friends hit 111mph in MY 7 a couple years back. Seemed to handle it well.

I only topped out at 105, on my own...

There aren't many roads around Boston where you can safely bring her up to speed.

(as for how fast I've taken my motorcycle...well, we'll leave that alone...)

~145 indicated by the speedo on correct sized tires.

Haven't tried it since all my mods, clutch can't hold more than 1/3 throttle in 4+5.

85 on a blown motor coming down hill.
120 is where i shut it down at because we all have to remember that we are doing this with 10+ year old suspensions. So when I upgrade my stuff I might see what she can do.

hehe 10+ years old? hmm... I remember last year, hitting 127+ in a bone stock '62 Impala with a wee little 327 SB. Beetles, 30+ years old doing 95++mph. Trust me, you have Nothing to worry about...

In my car I've done about 123mph. Too much traffic and hills in this area...

Around 125 ish, i wasn't really paying that much attention to the speedo at that speed. Also heard that speedos aren't very accurate at that speed so who know how fast/slow i was going.
