i saw the video and the rpm's dont seem right to me. i think the rpm's are too low for that kind of speed. i'd say those readings are consistent with that car being on a lift since the wheels are not subjected to any resistance and the wheels could spin faster at a lower rpm.

it km\h not mph and the max in speedo is 220.

Regarding slow movement its because of the car slowly reaches that speed , if it was modified the response will be faster not mentioned the aggressive sound that you gonna hear when you hit gas pedal !!!

heh, you should try your conversion again, 220 Km/h is 136.708 MPH. not 163. THAT i could believe.

I dont usually liek to bring up dead posts,but i jsut wanted to see any uipdates,now that there are two cars with full out turbos out there. Anyone get anywhere? any picstures\videos? all links in the topic are already broken

The fastest i went was on a sidestreet 121,by then i was at the peak of a really small hill and it felt as if my car touched off the ground and landed ,within like a a second.(obviously dont know if it did,doubt it, but jsut felt like it(b\c of no tension in wheel and the feeling change in the car)) scariest thing ive ever done,not advisable
My friend took a picture on his camera but his phone broke the next day,what luck! reason i wanted the picture was because i wanted to see the rpm's. From what i remember the car was still moving so more can be pushed out of it,but it was accelarting SOOOOO slow past 110.

Cool

Take the 18's off. They're killing you.
If the engine's in good shape, all the 3.0L+'s should pull to 125 OK. Then fall off from there.
