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?

You are one crazy

@ 120MPH I don't even fart

I've done 13X on dry land, 14X on dry land (my father driving it), and 120 on a wet pavement

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

when i had my black FC, 14.4 1/4, i had maxed out the speedo @ 150mph, only once, every weekend i went 140mph for at least 15 miles on the way to my buddies house, lots of straights

and he was with me a few times when i did 140+ including the day i raced his friends 2000 mustang GT, hit 145 that day and beat it

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...
