i thought about that but in third i redline at 80 now, and i am relcutant to downshift cause i dont like when the tach jumps up to 5 or 6 like that.

 

Damn, I didnt know the gears in a 2v were that short.

 

haha yeah. after i got off the exit, i was like, i need to get a supercharger for this car. these stupid bolt ons arent doing S*** with cars these daysthe 99-04 gt's were probably pretty fast when they first came out but now days v6's are making more power.

 

i may not be exact with those numbers but since the 4.10's were put in i do know that about 80 is the max i can get in third now. i forget what it was before the install. same with 4th, being 100mph wich is why i had to go into 5th which, haha, was useless at that point as he was already right behind me with no problem.

thank god it wasnt an actual race. i would have lost badly.

fastest i ever went in that car to date though, and i didtn really like it. very unsafe, i know.

 

Yea, I remember back in the day when a 5.0 fox would smoke most cars on the street. Now days you would get smoked by an n/a 4cyl in that same car. Its getting to where 400 horse is damn near the norm.

If your curious of your speed and revs in certain gears, this might come in handy. http://www.race-cars.net/calculators...alculator.html Ya just have to know some basic info for it to work.

As far as being unsafe, I hit 181 in the stang not too long ago. Had to use that calculator to find out my speed. Took it to rev limiter in 5th. No reason to ever do it again though, lol, unless I change my gearing. Thats as fast as she goes. I did it as safe as I could though. I mean ya gotta have some fun.

 

much better choice sometimes...... i miss my suby haha

 

Wow. I don't know if there's enough road around me to even consider buying a car fast enough to do that haha

 

This.

 

Jesus! Thats moving out for a car with aerodynamics like ours. How did it act in relation to the suspension at that speed? What about the hood, did it act like it wanted to hit the eject button?

 

Well, first off, I did it as responsible as I could. Was about 2 am on a Wednesday. Interstate was completely deserted, and we were way far outside the city. We also had a buddy in a Camaro a about mile ahead on the phone with my passenger acting as a spotter car. We also patroled the stretch for a bit to make sure all was clear. I had hit 174 ( 6k rpm ) before, but I had to top her out, lol. So anyway...

0-150 went by pretty quick. I eally didnt notice any floaty feel until probably after about 150. Even after that, it still felt "safe", lol. As safe as you can feel at that speed. Wasnt lifting or shaking, and I felt I had pretty good downforce and track with the road. Didnt notice the hood shaking at all. I dont have any scoop though. I watched the tach creep up on redline at 6k, then stayed in it till 6250. It actually was pulling rather well from 150 to around 170, but seemed like every mph after crept by. 6k to 6250 seemed like it took at least half a mile. At that speed, It did get slightly floaty, but still felt ok, not 100% secure needless to say, but not insanely dangerous.

What was trippy, was after we slowed, it felt like we were doing like 25 mph, and I looked and we were still doing 120. That was rather freakish.
