top speed runs.

i think its just the wind pushing the seals open, lol

143

Anybody notice at those higher speeds the windows sorta peeling open a little? Any fixes for that? Sounds like they are cracked open just a tick when you do anything way up there....

What the hell you doing looking at the windows for doing triple digits

Did 140mph chasing a z06 on a temporary course.

My old camaro did that over around 120

You could hear the air coming in

173 ran out of highway. stock speedo was laying near the column. used gps to do the rest. lol.

ls6 cam, stock intake manifold, 3:42's, ported stock heads, all free mods, stock manifolds, lid, and tune of course.

stock tune will stop you at 163

So here is what I have done:
On I-80, from Auburn, ca to Rocklin, Ca; the interstate is a nice down hill road with decent surfaces. I picked a time when trafic was very little and with very little gas in the car and no other objects in it (not even the spare tire was in it), with tyrick racing 101 gas. I started my speed run. I used my Escort Passport 9500i radar detector (it has a GPS speed measurement feature) I had this on and its accurate I hope. Anyway the run went great. All be it it took some time and a good length of road to get er dun.
At 130 to 150 I almost pissed my panties-since the car started a rolling up and down motion (due to under side aerodynamics and road shape) not being the best. I was able to finally get it to 160 and thats were I stopped. The car may have been able to go higher-but I simply did not have enough road way and time to get er higher.

The sounds of air noise were terrrble. I wont do it again ever.

So I went out and bought a Kawasaki ZX1400 street bike and with a speed healer installed on it (speed correction factor of -58.8 percent) I went and took her to a road outside of Ely Nevada with some other speed freaks and tok the bike to 202.5 Mph.

So what did I learn. I love speeding. I love it. But most cars should nto be bought for high speed runs-there simply is not enough road that is safe.

So buy a crotch rocket-alter the gears if need be and bypass the speed restrictor device and go for it.

I love taking my ZX14 to 150 plsu speeds each day I am on it, takes a a safe road and a few seconds-but damn 150 plus on a bike feel so great and is so easy.

PS,,,,tickets suck...

[TerribleTed]

I mean tickets really Really REALLY suck,,,,

I wasn't aware they give tickets for doing 150 in Ca, let alone 100mph.

[reaper ws6]

i ran 140 last time on loop 325 and i still had one more gear left and the speedo was still going..at does kind off speeds you fell like any little mistake will kill you!! lmao it was awesome!!

2002 z28 m6 (slp catback) (ls6 intake) (slp airbox)

wreckless driving, impounded vehicle, plus a sleep over or two? sounds about right for a typical saturday. for the ricers in town.

[TransAmFanatic]

before my mods i buried the needle while i was racing a 03 cobra with spray......

[JAKERED08Z06]

166 stock. GPS with a tail wind. 01 SS

[67CamaroRSSS]

Ok I'll fess up. I took the 02 up to 145-150 when it was stock with 2.73 gears. Tach was at 4500rpm so I knew it would go faster but being on a public hiway and discretion being the better part of valor I backed out...

I once had the 67 up to ~156. I figured it out knowing the engine rpm, tire diameter and final gear ratio. Suprisingly, the factory rear spoiler starts to push the car down (you can feel it squatting) at ~100 mph...

[Clichese]

130 all stock..

[98maro]

130 on my z...
and 140 on another car...

i touch the breaks at that speed and its the last time i will ever do that again...

[Drockw]

I hit 150 on the nose in my 94 formula M6 going up a hill. It had 3.73's, a bbk tb, and a cold air intake and that was practically it... I cant imagine what the 01SS I'm getting will do once I get long tubes and a tune

Oh, and I've been 156 on a 09Zx6r. It was like doing 80 in a normal car... I even had a backpack on and it was still smooth(other than the backpack straps beating the hell out of my sides lol).

and yes, never "hit" the brakes at that kind of speed.... I warped a brand new set at 140 once years back... It was drilled and slotted from there.

[99_SSinful]

the day I bought my camaro i was heading home on the interstate.. well needless to say a rustang tried playing with me.. when I was well ahead of him and looked down it was buried at 155.. still had plenty to go and that was completly stock

[JoshuaGrooms83]

dont remember my speed on the 1/4 (did it in 14.1 prior to headers and ORY and all the add on that go with it)

ON the autobahn here i did 150mph before i got a little nervous. THe car felt like it was kinda floating. I need new shocks and im at stock heighth. (4x4 lol) Soon il be fixing this with new lowing springs i got and eventully shocks. WIth the autobahn, im getting pasted by audis and BMW atationwagons doing 130+ lol I got passed by a Audi R8 once.

[parnelligq]

I hit 162 in a 99Z. Three days later it went in for total engine replace ( still under waranty...thank god )
