My word this is an old thread, but here goes nothing. I had mine up to 249 km/hr as logged on the pfc. So, that's around 150 mph until I ran outta road.

This may have been posted already here but isn't there that video...crazy dane as i recall. Where the speedometer is pegged and the tach keeps on rising....

I'll see if I can post it here or find someone to host it.

Err, I went 95mph once to pass a truck. I'm too chicken and I like my low insurance rates. Though I'll go 0 to the speed limit + 10 as fast as possible as often as possible.

i've gone 283kph stated by the power fc. I think that's 174ish.

I was pulling away from a 350Z just two months back on the Florida Turnpike and decided to push tha car as far as it would go, ended with the needle very close to 180MPH, of course you should know that at those speeds our tachs can be off as much as 10 MPH. I have eibach springs and Koni shocks, everything else on my suspension is stock and the car felt pretty stable, the only problem was my VIS (scoot imitation) hood was shaking like it was about to rip off, that was pretty scarry.

You do know that in VA, even if you don't exceed the speed limit, accelerating too quickly can get you a ticket, right? It's under the "excessive display of power" checkbox. It can also be under the "instigating racing" one too. Both carry a "reckless driving" ticket, which is FAR worse than a regular speeding ticket

Very good
So now you're a speed racer lol

Those Scoot hoods tend to do that at high speeds.

....maybe 5 years ago my brother and I were going north on 101 somewhere in northern California...uh..I think it was 101, we had recently paid a visit to a friend in Humbolt County lol. At the time my car as fresh, with just under 400rwhp. I had the gas pedal planted as we went through these big sweeping corners, up hill, down hill, left right.... We came to this long almost straight down hill, we were flying...my brother was looking at the speedo and just when he said your about to peg it, we came up from this slight dip in the road and I let off the gas as there was a tight left hand bend that was be getting closer at what seemed to be abnormally quick. The road was still on a downslope, I tried to make a controlled slow down and probably entered the bend at between 140 and 150 mph. I gave it a little gas when I felt the back end starting to break away, hoping I could get it too bite. No luck, just about at the apex, the car broke loose and spun 3 and 1/2 times. I remember looking through the windows and seeing the jagged rockface of hills and the big drop offs of an abyss.... I put the clutch in and found myself driving backwards at about 75 mph. I spun the car back around and my brother and I looked at each other and laughed...what an adrenaline rush!!...stomped on the gas and off we went....anyways...with a lil help from mother nature...I pegged and broke the speedometer.

I've taken her to 145mph, but I'm kinda scared to go any faster around here (lots of sneaky cops and speed-traps).

A3ON7

my 7 is not working but on my stingray, my highest speed limit is 160mph at 7500rpm

Stephen C

^Corvette Sting-Ray? What year?

A3ON7

A3ON7

iTrader: (10)

Weak. lol. I STILL can't believe there are ppl who own FD's who haven't seen 5th gear to date! It just leaves me But then again, that's prob a good thing, or the attrition rate would prob skyrocket LOL.

If he is hitting those speeds at the end of the back straight at VIR, he is really moving.....you only have so much real estate on a road race course

cutc0pypaste

Ive hit 230kph(144mph). Ive done it about 3 times. I got new rubber and balancing and alighnment since then and I've got to try it again cause I was a little scared off from some wobbling that seems to be gone now but finding a stretch of road out of the city that is not all windy up here in BC canada is hard to do.

hey now, for a fairly stock FD on R comp i think 140 is pretty good on the backstraight at VIR
