Pegged the speedo a couple times. Stable- but the cf hood likes to move around too much, definately need hood pins. That was on stock twins. I wish I had gps in the car. I severely doubt the 180mph reading on the speedo is accurate. My guess is the car was really doing 170 or so. Had it to 160 a few times racing as well, mostly against my supra buddy..Not many people are mentally instable enough to take their cars up to that speed regularly. Doubt Ill go that fast again though.

142 on I-280 South by San Jose. With my friend sleeping :-)

A little over 150 on a straight, empty, and surprisingly smooth backroad. It was the main road into some little town, so there were light poles really close together all the way down. Seeing those poles almost turning into a brown blur as I flew right by them kinda tripped me out, so I slowed down to 90. Actually, now that I look back on it, that was kinda stupid...

I took mine up to 265kmph (~165mph) on a looooong stretch of road in the country. Things seem kinda surreal at that speed. Scared my pants off.

I once did 50 in a 30, scared the daylights out of the turkey on the side of the road.

^^ lol.

I did 170MPH with my father (crazy nut himself with his bullet bikes) in the car but I got some crazy vibes coming off the steering wheel so I let off. Plenty of pull left in her, so someday I'm going to hit 200...hopefully in a half-way decent environment.

I hit 161mph on the parkway one night about 5 montsh ago, car was a little shaky and i was afraid of how well i would be able to slow down, i still had about 2k left of RPM's, maybe next time i can see what it can really do on a straighter road.

My friend got a ticket doing 127 in a 30!! he just put nitrous on his eclipse and was trying it out for the first time on a back street straight away around midnight and just his luck there was a cop radaring and i have no idea why he stopped and pulled over?!?! He got 27 days in jail because the stupid law here is you do a day in jail for every mile an hour over 100, he also had to pay a crazy fine and ended up selling his car to pay it off. Also lost his license for a year. if he would of just kept going he would of been home free! Just thought i'd share the story, i thought it was a crazy story.

On my previous FD did 6500RPM in 5th, and the car still had more. I worked out that that should be 167mph.

My speedo only went to 180kmh thats why I had to work it out.

That was an R2 on stock twins, dp, mp, catback and intake. It was rock solid stable.

155 MPH on Route 80 toward Auburn on the way to Lake Tahoe. Decided to race a jacked up 70's Nova. Somked his *** bad!

The bad thing is that I Shredded 4" on Radiator hose and dumped all my coolant. I was really lucky and shut down before it totally over heated.

i hope all you people doing 150+ have Z rated tyres on your car. if not, your asking for a blowout. ive seen a tyre with large chunks of tread missing from a high speed run. those rating are there for a reason, dont push them.

my highest speed in my FD is 140. it had plenty more, but the front end seemed light and it was windy. and the idea of going to jail was not on my list of things to do that day.

160. very stable. Some wind noise.

My speedo is broken so I'm not sure what the actual MPH was, but I was redline in 5th and I was putting down around 230 rwhp on a mustang dyno.

dohc-vtec_eg

i did like 145 n/p but the guy in my car got kind of scared on 280 north. it was like 2 in the morning. 145 aint **** for a FD. all i got it tien springs for suspension wise and dam a FD can hold it down

rynberg

Anyone NOT running Z or Y-rated tires on their FD should have it taken away from them in the first place.... There are many other areas of vehicle condition to worry about besides the speed rating of the tires....

You were going 200 mph, huh (redline in 5th)? Put down the crack pipe, son.


A lot of us speed demons in the Bay Area apparently.....I've hit 150+ 3 or 4 times on either 580 or 680, once racing a Ferrari Testarossa, all after midnight with no other traffic around.

SuperSonic7

93 R1 FD 162 mph absolutly fine clutch and apexi intake
2003 clk 430 amg package 185 mph (moms car here driving)
1983 911 sc my dad claimed 180 mph (in his racing days)
1995 saab 900 se complete aero swap 162 down hill on rev limiter
1989 MK3 160 driver got scared
1991 mk3 single conv. 180 had lots left driver got scared
every other car that ive driven or been in over 130 in wasnt nice enough to mention

rynberg

Lots more BS in this thread....

ALL Mercedes have a 155mph speed limiter, and the 430AMG don't have enough beans to hit 185 mph anyway.

162 in a Saab 900? Right.

How was the 180 indicated in the Mk3 since the speedo only went up to 150-160?

manny34711

i was cruising at like 135 for about 20 minutes down the turnpike with a friend in the car. its kinda scary when you think (if i spin out or a tire blows out... im dead) so i duno if those speeds will ever happen again unless im on a track or something

You can not redline an FD in 5th, with stock gearing speed would be over 200 mph

A friend of myne had a 3rotor FD from Japan with a HKS sequential trany with a 3.91 rear end ( I think ) he got it up too around 190+ on I85 once he wrencked the car about a month ago on I85 coming from Atlanta doing 160 .

Tell that to my passenger who was staring at my tach

Rynberg howd you come up with the 200mph? I though the stock FD tops out at 160. With the mods I have would I really be able to top out that high? All I know is the white lines between lanes became one solid one and I had to hold the brake pedal down for a considerable amount of time, and we passed the S4 going 120 like it was standing still.

In retrospect, I'm a dumbass I was curious to see how fast the 7 could go.. Driving this car is super addicting

rynberg

Redlining 5th = 200 mph. Next time you are going to make something up, at least get the facts straight first....

manny34711

dont mess with rynberg. hes dah man. just like johnny damon and re amimeya
