130MPH and counting...

lol, that will come soon...maybe on my way back from Denver this Friday when I get my tune?
I hit 150 the other weekend when Gregrob and I were playing around a little bit but I didnt have my camera out. I will take video this next time though for sure lmao!
I wanna find a way to clock above 155 so I can see a little closer to what my top speed is lol

lol, I was talking about my speedometer. Mine goes to 155. I have no clue what I will be doing after that but I was pulling hard when I got to 150 still...I think I could break 170 if I wanted to...but no way to tell unless I can measure speed somehow other than my speedometer lmao!
I will go for gold when the time is right, I just dont wanna go for an orange jumpsuit and get my car crushed haha. My luck I would pass a trooper and end up in jail with my car next in line for the crusher at a salvage yard...

What gear do you have in the back? I think that an auto with 3.73 gears can only do about 155 until it hits the red line/rev limiter.

I have had my Trans Am for well over a year now and I have never had it over 125....lol
Now my old Drag GSXR 1000 I hit 175 a few times.....
Be careful though anything bad happen at that speed all that will be left is a parts car....

If any parts are salvagable...I buried the needle in my car one time and at that speed I am pretty sure nothing would survive depending on what got in the way of course

Your speedo is way off cory. We were barely doing 125 the other night, not 150... lol
You need to have Trent check that when you get tuned. I set mine via gps and tweaked it to perfection with the tuning software so I know it's accurate.

btw, most any GPS unit can tell ya your fastest speed...used to have a pic on my phone from my buddy's car, 164mph on the GPS...
and if yur goin 130mph you might as well go 150mph if all yur owrryin about is cops, cuz the cop isn't going to care when he pulls you over when he clocks you at 130, even if you do say "I could have gone 155"
seriously though everyone, do this **** at yur own risk, cuz that **** will kill you if you, yur car, or the roadway isn't capable!

I used to take my GTO up to 110+ every day. i haven't had my camaro over 140 though. way too dangerous with a solid axle car. I just took the TBSS to 120 the other day, doubt i will do it again
#15
verdy nice. back when i had my cobalt ss/sc, i had it up to 157(gps verified) on my way to tirerack in indiana. I do have to say it does get a little scary at that speed. In my Z i had it to 110 so far before i had to shut down.
#16
I guess you better call up nascar, pro stock, funny cars, top fuel, and every other major form of competitive racing and tell them to switch to IRS because their **** is dangerous.
Some people ******* amaze me.

sounds good! are you sure u were in 5th and not 4th tho? 6k in 4th is around 135, 6k in 5th is 180+(w/ 3.42's)
183 @ stock redline according to the calculator. I could of brought mine up to 6000 no problem but I was afraid I'd pop the engine sustaining those kind of rpms and in the worst way possible, running from the cops.

my speedo only goes to 155 as well...but the needle goes past that and damn near touches the amp meter...lol
