I've had my '84 up to about 115... but the speedometer started making strange and not so good noises. There definitely seemed to be a bit more left from the engine though. Completely stock.

Thats why I dont street race anymore. Ill dick around from a light to light but last time I street raced, I was doing about 110 and the guy I was racing bumped me from behind and kicked the *** end out.. Spun around about 2 times, and thankfully slowed down enough before I hit the wall. The guy I raced ran, and left me with a totaled 91. Fractured 2 ribs, sprained both wrists,a ton of cuts andabrasions,and seriously ****ed up my knee from hitting the steering column (With seat belt on). Granted I was a young punk at the timeand was on a closed road, but I learned my lesson once and once only.If Im gonna go at those speeds, Ill head to the track.

I found out a few weeks after I crashed that the guy that bumped me was arrested for street racing cause he rear ended a mini van on the freeway doing about 130ish. Kids in the car and all. I apologize for the rant but just figured I would get it out there.

I didn't know these cars even went that fast. I've had mine to about 103 mph and was scared to go faster. The faster I went the louder the noise is in my 93 vert. I'm afraid of crashing the car at that speeds due to the fact that I do have a convertible.
