An indicated 165 mph in my 94 ZR-1; Chevy said it would do 180+...

took my brand new 86 hyundai excel to 105 on a down grade, back it the training area of fort bragg NC . i thought the car was coming apart, it was very loose.
did 142 at richard petty in vegas a couple of years ago, hell of a lot of fun turning left at that speed. |

An indicated 150 + in fd3s. I don't even like to go much past 100 mph now a days,
unless it is on the track. My car in it's current state only powerfull enough to do maybe 120 ish at Thill. Which track on the west coast has the highest top end? Something with a long straight a way that does not dump you into 50mph turn. |

Did 170 mph in a TVR Tuscan I used to own! Completely foolish but had to be done, gave my friend a shot one day and he came back grinning saying thats the fastest he had ever been, did 165, so I had to take it out there and then and beat him - apparently it is capable of 195+ but at 170 I was s******g myself the car was all over the place. It was never the same after that
Did 150mph (reading) in my 924 turbo, while passing a UR quattro (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) It was never the same after that 2nd scariest thing was doing 130 mph in my 73 bug, drum brakes and ball joint suspension (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) and youve guessed it, it was never the same after that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
