So what do you have done and how fast have you been? My sixth pulls great, you just start hitting a brick wall around 170 lol

Never mind, mikenice?

Lets see a 170mph pull! I'll have a video up too before long.

I was happy with 170 and shut it down. Just curious if there were any others as crazy as I am. I'm going to get some tape for my sony digital 8. Anybody know how to upload from a digital 8 tape? I may have to borrow my brother-in-laws DVD camera. I'll have some evidence before long. I recorded the run with my blackberry storm but the piece of crap locked up and dumped the video.

Just one time!, And someone else driving, "I didn't want to go to jail"
Run it up to almost 185 & never before saw anything that went from 150 to 180+ almost as fast as from 70 to 100

impressed another took the ride on that pony and had to spur it on?
maybe it's just me but if i build a car and happen to sell it...
i'll be able to sleep knowing I drove that car harder than the next guy who
bought it. otherwise, really...what's the point?
i cruise around, one handed wheel style cocked down low like master p pimp style
leaning g mack momey grip mean muggin vegas style at 120 just to grab a coffee.
i'll concur that the hood distorts something fierce at 150+ and worries me too!

125 so far in my V. Very stable and pulling hard!
I was able to drive a V2 up to 100 and it did it quick and easily. Very smooth.

After all my goodies, my V pulls to 100 very easily. Granted its not as smooth as the new V with its quite exhaust and all, but you dont even have to push the car hard at all to get there. In 6th gear just a slight push of the go pedal and the car is climbing past 100.

its probably way worse if you're boosted

If it breaks it means it could have been built better! I'm not worried about my engine, why would you be?

I have been 174 one time, I tried to get it on cam. No luck when i get my car back i'll try it again. The sunroof at those speeds is louder than the radio.

You cant just leave it at that. If you are crossing the 170 mark you have a lot of mods. So whats done to your ride?

+1. Thats why you rarely see cobra's at that speed. Pistons are known to melt during 5th and 6th pulls. With that said, the day I got my 03 I took it to 155+ boosting until 5th and luckily I didnt blow anything.

Actually at the time I had a custom intake pulling through the front bumper, and I running open x pipe. The car had a tune on it and was lowered. I was coming around 285 with some funny looking blue lights behind me. I had no choice but to see what it would do. I was holding it down in 5th for a good 7 to 8 minutes, slammed 6th and the rpms dropped to about 4,000 and it kept pulling in 6th it was the first time it ever did that. A small little decline stretch of road was definitely helping out. It shut it down right around 174, I tried for 175 but no luck that day.
