Nope, 85 is as fast as that car will go. Sorry. You bought a sloooooooooww car!!
Speed limits 55-65 anyway so slow down!!!















































J/K, I believe you can convert it to a 140mph speedo. I'm sure there are ppl here that have done it so wait and see if others chime in. Or you can ggole it and see what comes up.

LOL!!! Do some research if you can't find it here. I know ppl have done it. Shouldn't be much more than getting the speedo head and changing a gear in the tranny. Although I could be wrong.

yes, you can go faster than 85. i dont know what the top speed is....because my speedo only goes to 85 as well. but ive had it well over that, with my ex wife in her car beside me. at about 105 tho, my car started sounding and feeling like it was going to come apart, so i backed down. that was a long time ago, before i did extensive chassis and drivetrain work, however. if you are still unsure that your car will go any faster, take it out on the freeway, hope there are no cops out and about, then drive it up to 85 mph. press the gas pedal a little farther down. if you accelerate, woohoo! now you are a true speed demon. if not, you suck and you should give me your car.

you might not be going any faster because the carb/intake is restricting you
