Top Speed!!!

[korndawg]

I buried my speedomotor and had some more left.
How can you guys tell exactly after u hit the 150 mark?

U can't. Use a GPS or ask the trooper how fast u were goin when he pulls u over.

-GPS
-radar
-chalk the road, time and do some basic math
-buy and install a the 200 mph gauge cluster for f-bodies (gms sells them)

135 before my mods. I haven't tried since my car still needs to be tuned and the brakes need to be replaced (still have the original rotors and pads). But I did get to 110 a few weeks ago just to open it up and clear the car up from sitting this winter.

Had it around 152, 153 and will nver do it again. One of the dumbest things Ive ever done. Had plenty left but felt like i was floating. Not a good feeling

I hit a little hill. when i came down the little hill it wasnt good

[SexOnWheels]

I have been to 170mph on the longest straight away in the country.

I have a new engine (still not put in the car) so I hope to shatter that number this season:

These are awesome guys!! although the feeling of floating is not a good one, somehow i cant help but see if i can go faster than that or not...next run however will be in an airport...i don't think there is any city/country road smooth enough to do it safely..

how big is the strip?

[JwMonE99]

How big are airports runways usually?

[TempleU_WS6]

Id say about 130 or so but slowing down right away while running someone. I've never tried to hit a top speed cause as many of you know PA roads are rated the worst in the country. Even the turnpike is sketchy.

I wouldnt mind hitting a top speed if I had trust in the road surface.

If a runway would be available like you guys are talking about I'd be all over that!

[big hammer]

if anyone tries this dont touch your brakes at speeds in excess of 120 mph.
