I'm curious to find out how many peeps out there have pushed their rides to the limit? I'll start:
1. 65 - 150, racing an 03 Cobra on the 5S in Santa Ana @ midnight.
2. 70 - 148 racing an M3 on 5N in Anaheim @ 1'ish.
3. 80 - 145 racing an LT1 Z28 on 5S @ 11'ish.
I've taken her to the 130, 140 range dozens of time though, in countless situations, but I've yet to BURRY the needle. I never have the oppurtunity, or the runway most of the time, although I know I can get there.

91 Camaro's hypathetical top speed was 125. Speedo read 110. Had it just a tad past that.
1995 Maxima did 118 in-between 2 18 wheelers, one tried to cut me off so I had to split.
1995 Civic Dx (105hp) did I think 102 with the body kit and being lowered.
1991 & 89 Civic hatchback, project cars.. never got past 65 i think
1985 s10... speedo read like 85 or so.. i had it topped out.. lol![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
2002 Ford Escape.. governor kicked in at 108

I've done it twice in my old LS1 Z-28. Took it out in the desert where the roads are long, straight, unused and have a full view in all directions. The first time i topped it out i had the t-tops off, BIG no-no. It creates a big suction in the car. But both times i had the needle past the end of the dial.
Have yet to do it in the SS. I've only taking the SS up to 135-140.

LoL, actually the 11 and the 1'ish were during the day. They were all as safe as random runs could be though. Plus fwy's happened to be empty at the time. I always scan 30 to 40 cars ahead and behind, and watch my entrance ramps and shoulders.
