Don't worry, the sig should explain it all.

 

whats the rearend ratio of a 'vert? Assuming they had the power, they'd technically be the fastest, wouldn't they?

 

verts are the slowest. i dont if youre talking top speed or not. i suppose its possible.

 

I have had my 88 SE to where the needle pointed to the P on MPH..and had 1000 rpms to go. when the speedo cable blew out of the trans..that was quite scary @ 160 plus..

Yikes. At 120 and climbing I wuss out and slow down in mine! It's scary doing speeds like that when not on a race track. Cops, deer, bumps in the road, people who don't see you coming at double the normal speed who pull out in front . . no thanks.

I'll use up a few of my nine lives in the twisties and spare the straights.

 

my friend videotaped a high speed run doing 140 one time. i only do it when theres no traffic and no one around. i'm a very safe driver, and no...i'm not in high school anymore. i'm prolly a better driver than most people on here. some people have a little thing called skill

 

and also, if i was using Nitrous at the top end, would it give me enough power to use my 5th gear to top out even more? if so, how much spray would i need? just to let you guys know...no i'm not a big fan of the fast and the furious...i can actually drive. i drift, and i take my car to the track...i'm a responsible driver...if u kno me...then u kno how i drive

 

Did 145 in my TII, and was still pulling. Traffic was coming up, so I slowed down. It takes a lot longer to slow down at that speed. I was about a mile back when I started to break and I was still passing people while decelerating. My car gets to that speed way too easily, I'm starting to wonder what's up with my car, it seems a little faster than it should based on the mods....

 

I got to 145 in my '87 N/A fc. Downhill though, but whatever.

fun.

 

so one of your skills isn't literacy?

and for those who think finding out your top speed is cool; i hope you die. try not to take anyone out either.

 

i hit 145 on the dyno before he cut me off. and nillahcaz hit 150 on the dyno with a s4 n/a.

yeah, i went pretty fast aswell, just remember tho you neeed gooood brakes .

 

Yeah, well on a dyno, you don't have to worry about pushing air out of the way

 

oooh, thats just asking for a challenge! Just you wait! When I finish my s5 'vert (prolly feb-mar) I'll find my top speed, just for you. And I'll make sure it'll reach 150, just for you. And then I'll smash into an overpass....

hmm, I need to think this over

 

i hit 104... but my 87 n/a now has 207,750 miles on the original engine and tranny (3rd clutch tho). Also, my tires are i think R rated (whatever the crappiest ones are) and that's only rated up to 109, then the friction and heat is too much, and tires DO burst people, and I don't really want to be going 130 and have a tire burst. But as I've seen before on this forum... straightaways are for fast cars, curves are for fast drivers...
