Mama, I'm going fast!
Last night on the way home from work, cruising along I-70 at my normal commute speed of 80mph. For some reason I got the itch to stomp it.
You know, these 4.0s go from 80 to 120 pretty darn quick. Suprisingly stable at that speed. Plenty of pedal left as well. I let off a bit and the transmission shifted into 5th. I guess I coulda hit 140 or 150 without much effort. Maybe tonight..... Oh, no mods. All stock. JimA :woot::woot: |
Be careful with no mods at that speed (140-150) the car might sway a little on you
|
yea, i was scared as hell at 100+ on a stock suspension,
|
Heh, I maxed the car out when it was bone stock. I tell you though, it took a hell of a long time to hit 150 lol. That last 20mph takes ages on the stock inline 6. Now I can do it in about 1/4 the time it used to take :D
|
Uuhhhmmm....yeah....I ran my G3 up to 148 without mods and it was not a fun affair. With mods I'd do it again, but can't find a stretch of highway long enough. Darn the commuters!!:mad:
|
I took my stock 430 to 135ish like the first month I owned it. I want to max it out one day. hehe
|
not something i'm proud of but, i hit 130 after leaving the bar one night. the drink made me do it.
|
i'm old...I took mine up to 80 the other day after the supercharger install....then again, it only took a few seconds from 0 mph....
|
^my stock one does 80 fairly easily. Trade me cars :)..Ill put the supercharger to use.
|
stock suspension at higher speeds scared me.... It felt so unstable and even after HKS coilovers, the rear still feels unstable sometimes.

Not really very smart to drive like that in the public domain, IMHO. Don't encourage it.
|
you guys are nuts. i hardly take her past 100.
|
i took my car up to 125 two nights ago racing this stinkin s13 who thought he was the **** LOL. I have tein flex w/ tein frt and rear strut bars. I had to kinda maneuver my way through traffic and handling i must say was EXCELLENT!
|
Last trip to vegas, cruising about 115 on that lonely old highway. Didn't even realize it until I passed another car.
