Top Speed in an 88 vert?
I have an 88 vert with a cone filter and exhaust and a passenger. i was in 4th at 6k, and it seemed like it stopped pulling and wouldnt go any faster at 120mph. Is this right?

I have a 88 vert with the same thing you do, including a passenger. I got my car up to 120 in 5th gear, but my clutch slips through the whole powerband so I didn't even try to go faster, I'm sure it would of went alot faster if I had a new clutch. There was a thread about 1month back that people posted their top speed, and I remember seeing a couple people who had their somewhat stock vert up to 140. Stock ports I know that for sure.

Top up, 88 verts should hit 124 MPH, and 89-92 verts should hit 125.
I have seen 126 on my vert and still had room to run, (I probably could hit 135-140 tops) but I do have a slightly built up motor.

I hit 130 (according to the speedo) once when i had pulled the AC and power steering off for a test...might have been slightly down hill to.
120 is about average.

I was at 138-140 at the end of 4th gear around 7000rpm. My car still pulls strongly after 100mph, but i noticed it pulled harder on top end when I installed an e-fan.

Ice, rat are correct. 125ish +mods
FYI, those that live or drive in the showme state - caught over 100mph its attempted homicide and a minimum two nights in jail. Have a friend I just bailed out at the tune of 2,000.00 cash after his second wonderful night in the local jail. HE was just running out his car on an empty highway . . .
