click here to upload at the bottom of the screen and select the files,

did the rims fit alright, i thought you needed spacers for the backspacing?

mustangman02232, I just noticed that in one of your pics, you nearly pegged out your speedo, kinda funny, but just the other night I got the ole sn95 up to 124 mph, approx, and I was still slowly accellerating, but I ran out of road, so I had to hit the breaks.

i think its more of the fact that you dont wanna blow the engine, rather than die trying. or atleast thats how id look at it.

it may sound rather selfish, but id rather die trying to do it, than destroy my car and not have a car for the next couple years.

You would go through all that trouble plus the hour it would take you to get to 120+

You can run 120+ all day and not blow the engine, well as long as you maintain it really well, which I do, and I hit 124 on a flat road, so I can only imagine downhill, but man, you never really realize how slow 70mph is until you hit 120+, man that's a big difference.
