death wish! lol |
I need to post a few times.
1994 Mercury Grand Marquis - 108 (speed limiter. Al and I hit that a few times going to NY) 1988 Camaro Iroc-Z - Somewhere around 105 1984 Olds Cutlass - 84. Starts to shake like a son of a bitch after that 1994 Caprice - somewhere around 125 1991 Trans Am Vert - Somewhere around 140. Fastest ive ever been was around 160ish. |
1991 Mitsubishi Montero - 115mph (slightly downhill :lol:)
1983 Datsun 280zx 2+2 - 138mph 1979 Chevy Camaro Z28 - 135mph For the Datsun I had to use a gear calculator as the speedo only went up to 85mph :lol: I hit that speed during a race with my buddy's Benz 280SE where we wanted to find out who had the faster 280. He said he maxed out at 135mph and I was walkin him the whole time so I guess its fairly accurate. |
i think some of these times are exagerated unless "stock" includes a tune, because cars come with limiters.
i have had the t/a's speedo buried and stayed in it and on my bike the speedo read 178 but im not sure of accuracy |
I've had the Corvette at 186mph. Autobahn A5 Germany. Slp exhaust, Vararam intake, H/C. New cam and heads in a few months. I wouldn't even try that here in Jersey. Germany's autobahn are unbelievable. Especially around 8 at night when traffic is very thin. I know another guy in our German Corvette club that has me beat 189MPH.

1999 3.8L Birdy - Pinned the needle while going down rt 80 .... i think it stops at 125mph?
|
i hit 110 in my (first) bird and it stopped at the speed limiter. once bill removed it i never had the chance to pin the speedo :cry:
|
the z's and ss's come with the limiter removed
|
in the old Hawk when i was young and dumb on the parkway southbound late at night heading to the shore. I hit about 145-150 I got a little nervous at 130 and stopped looking down at the speedo, but i know I kept going faster til I felt it was unsafe...

Speed limiters were set according to OEM tire speed rating. |
aprox. 175mph in my first 97' SS had cc306 shorty headers 4.10 gears full bolt ons , 2002 GSXR 750 192mph ,according to stock speedo which are usually off, but ftw i was boogeyin' ( i was younger and pretty dumb)
oh yeah the caddy regularly makes it to "fuel cutoff" at 128 .....feels like 95 LOL |
In my GTP (before the mods) at the Calverton Naval Industrial Weapons Complex I totally pegged the speedo and the HUD read 123 before I saw the end of the runway coming up and started slowing down, I plan on taking my Lightning and a Vette up there this year though.
