Anyone wanna "get in" on when Sam blows the motor

And all kidding aside folks, Sam really does talk like that. F-bombs replace adverbs.

Did you just call me fat? For some odd reason my clutch is kinda holding now. Since I got the new clutch I've started to beat on this one by clutch kicking it and stuff and it held up when I raced a G35 after Chicago Indoor Racing on the highway. I passed it like it was standing still. Haha.

I think the 5 speeds didn't have any of that stuff because I have no traction control either.

SHHHHHH, its stock! I got up there pretty quick and could have gone more but I came up to traffic REALLY fast.

After replacing it today I was tempted to try that lol.

After realizing my stock clutch was holding against that G35, I decided to try it on the way home.

You think 150 is fun, you should try 190! You got lucky on that one, could have been a lot worse! Stay safe.

First off every car is governed no matter what trans. The autos are governed at 135 or 140 and the 5 speeds are limited to 155 I think. It might look like it can pull more but the governer will hit even if it is at lower rpms! Second props to u on going 150 in a 92! But please have your car serviced and everything replaced to handel high speeds before you go that fast again.

I've been 190 but not in the SC. Maybe when a 6 speed goes in

Yeah, I wish I had a 6 speed and rear end. Everything should be up to date now. I guess I over looked the drive belt.

I had my car to like 149, it refused to touch the 150 line. :P

This was in my '92 5-speed with 223K miles, at the time it was stock aside from an Injen intake.

Well, what can anybody do to stop him. Everyone does stupid things when they're young....I did 150 on a bike, past a cop once...and after the courts and major fines...I learned....to look for cops first.
