I have no idea what my car's top speed is but the fastest I've taken it to is 120ish.

I backed off at 134. The car wasn't even in fifth gear yet, I just ran out of *****

On second thought, I think my speedo is a bit optimistic...

My 88SE only did 124 with an HKS air filter. I am pretty sure that the cats were clogged too.

Shouldn't you be driving with both hands @ 140mph?

with in a week of buying my car, I had changed everything to synthetic. changed the plugs and wires, and put new tires on it. I ran 144 top with the rest of the car bone stock! I have been modding it eer since to get it faster. I haven't runnn top in a while so I don't know what my top is now with my mods. I am working on doing a big port job on my intack and TB. then I am going to redo the exhaust. some where in there I will finish with the MAF mod I have been working on. I plan on being able to beat a modded TII

Umm.. you guys either have some fast NA's or I have a slow one. With all my mods, one a cool night on flat land, I top out at 138mph. You guys must be going downhill or somthing...

145mph in 4th gear, 5th gear doesn't get me any more speed. At 145mph, I was just about redlined in 4th.
