yeah, so i hit 170mph in my car a couple weeks back
Im not condoning going this fast by any means, i figure i'd share this with yall.
What youre about to read is not BS.
this was without n2o as well.
This one is about racing a new Charger R/T on the way to work going up rt 55 in the early AM.
i was passing a guy in the right lane and the charger came up on me outta no where and decides to take it to the shoulder to go by.
he had to slow up for a couple cars that were up ahead so i casusally rolled up on him. A slow moving truck gets into the right lane, the charger then proceeded to gun it, as do I. I actually had to let off a lil so i wouldnt push him out of my way. he moves over to right lane, around 120 mph, i just stay on it in 5th gear. ( i have 373s, that = no downshift into 4th) it pulled fine. i noticed there was no traffic, so i stayed on it, figured im gonna add insult to injury, because he was so desperately trying to hang with me even after i pulled on past. 140mph.. 150mph.. pegged. Im Glancing at the tach now; the shift lite comes on around 5900-6000 rpm, i stay on it a lil longer, since my new redline is 6400, figured im gonna max her out, then it cuts out, id say roughly around 6100-6200rpm and im like huh did i break something?? then remembered i reset my speedlimiter on HP Tuners to 170mph, and i think to myself, it was still pulling, i couldve done 175 or more.
my shocks were set at 8 which was the stiffest setting, my tires are Z rated and no, i wasnt going to sustain 170+ mph for more than a few seconds, it cut out and i let off after that. the car actually felt really good at high speeds, she hunkers down. what a great way to start my day!
