Wow, for those of you who have been over 130, what kind of setup (spoiler/rake/massive amount to weights in the front of your trunk) did you have? I've been 135mph in a 3.2 equiped gt flared replica and the front end felt soooo lite I didn't want to push it any further.

Top off, 460+ HP SBC leaving a GSXR750 behind @ an indicated 170...

It was in the Renegade Hybids "Peal" (bosses car @ the time) and as fast as the car ever went as far as I know...

Was over 150 coming into turn 1 @ LVMS lap after lap after lap.... 6000 RPM through a 930 and 225/40/17's

111 mph in a 1973 2.0 and it had something left in it still, maybe another five or six mph. Front end got a little light but it still felt pretty solid, could have used a spoiler on the nose.

2.0L will do 115 down the Straights at NPR and I held it to 120 on the way home one day. lots left in it just no place good to do that speed.

What front spoiler did you use?

If you have a true GT clone, they didn't have a very good front spoiler, and no air dam.

We had a 916 front shell on (which did provide some front end stability at speed) and now just use a custom air dam. It will drag the ground and clearance itself with the 15" wheels/tires. We normally run 9x16 wheels with 245x45R16 Kumhos on the track car.

In the rear we have a custom spoiler kind of like an extended GT spoiler. It is only extended at the two sides and is low in the middle (so you can see back). At first the wings were too tall, so we kept trimming them down until we got to where we are at. It does keep the back end down. We first created it for Grattan (Near Grand Rapids, Michigan) where there is a hump/jump just before a downhill braking zone for a tight right hand turn. It worked to keep the back end on the ground there so you could stay on power until just after cresting the hill. (I think we could take about another 1/4" or so off myself.)

only about 90 in the 914 but I did hit 138 in a shelby CSX back in 88 cross country from Kansas into Colorado at 6 am in the morning. Overcast so no choppers up and you can see about 5 miles ahead..

914:
Probably ?5mph + going forward on Highway 51 South headed to Florida back in 1970. RR crossings on old highway 51 S. at that speed let you fly about 100 feet or more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
I also estimate ?5 mph backwards when spinning in circles backwards on an ice covered road going to work one morning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
Other:
Can't say.
Speeding is a crime in the places I went faster than set limit.
Kawasaki Mach II, 58 Bonneville, Mazda RX7 Turbo, etc X10
and about 460 mph private jet 40,000 feet Houston bound, 4X 2005
