Really guys. I'm actually more interested in the handling of the car over all other aspects. That's why I'm going from my powerhouse Z to this non-turbo. (eventually turbo swap) Forget about everything else that was said, but I think this is the one I decided on. Already has JIC Coilovers so I'm happy
just need some more meat, as it only has 205/40's on it.GTU FC
type in gear speed calculator in google and you'll find just how long our gears are.
Look in the stickies for gear ratios.
Last I remember, I think 5th gear could go to 234 mph? Something stupid like that.

^^^^ you do realize that the FC has an equally shitty 4 wheel steering system right?
I like Z's a lot. Clearly driving 130+ on the street is irresponsible, but I think there are a lot of hypocrites here telling this guy not to build a car for top speed when there are a numerous threads of people posting pics of their speedometer pegged.

damn,who cares? if you dont like what he has to say in his thread then leave!!!! i highway race.i just make sure no one is around,no passing non-participants at high speed. honestly the difference between 100 and 170 doesnt matter much to me.either way the odds are your dead along with if u hit someone.so if you have ever exceeded 100mph on the street your going to hell!!!! ill save everyone on the forum a seat! lol

Actually the fc is more mechanical..becuase it doesnt rely on the powersteering pump like the z does...Trust me i love the car too my best freind has one it has computer,injectors,front mount..about 500hp...but his hycas recently went out and ill be driving the car at like 50mph and all of a sudden the car will literally jump a half foot to a full foot to the left!!! thats enough to make you crash very bad in my book..
