173 and still pulling fairly hard, based on rpm and gear ratio, on 45 south at 2:30am, t-tops off with a buddy in the car, VERY stupid, but fun, never need to do it again though

85. I didn't realize I was at that speed... I hit the brakes quick. That is a "loose your license" ticket for me. Not only from the law but from my parents....

That happened with my 87 Grand National. Around 135-140ish, it got real scary. Running a 'Vette down the highway and the car was just floating. There was a very good reason those cars had a 124mph limiter...

welcome to aerodynamics. Ground effects = downforce = less floating = better handling and control at speed

Re: whats the fastest you have gone in your thirdgen?

OK I'll show my age here! When I was a teenager I had a 70 Challenger 340/ 4spd. The car would do the same thing above 120mph, I had it up to 140, real scary wandering all over the place. What can I say I was a stupid kid.
That's why I like my 91Z, it's stable at speeds, yes those ground fx really do work....

My first car was a '71 Mustang vert with a big block... that thing scared the $#!+ out of me at anything 100+. My next car was my '85 T/A, and you're not kidding... those ground effects really do work... what a difference!

Re: whats the fastest you have gone in your thirdgen?

well i know groundfx do work on race cars. but in some case's oem stuff will fall a little short of the objective. case in point; i think my 82z lower air dam is buckeling under and dumping air under the car instead of going over or around it creating the lifting problem. cracked paint on the end is a dead give away. oh,and i have not hit anything with it either. oh and the 71 chevelle had a moog stock car (ARCA) suspension & goodyear blue streaks! CRAZY FAST!

Re: whats the fastest you have gone in your thirdgen?

well, i raced it on 27 from a 50ish roll, we know how that works on TPI cars (although i didnt at the time and was horrified...) so i gave up, thinking somethign was wrong with the car. We turn onto 98, and they are way infront of me, so in a fit of teenage stupidity (probably because my g/f and best friend where in the car with me and making fun of my camaro) i floored the pedal and got up to about 100 to catch up with them, and yes, it was a v6 :'(... but it was fun...

Re: whats the fastest you have gone in your thirdgen?

I was racing a Lexus SC430 and the guy didn't know how to drive, I weaved through some traffic, got into the wide open left lane and floored it, hit 120, the governor limit, and held it right around there, I didn't want it to kick in. I came over a hill and saw a couple sitting under the overpass, smashed the brakes and changed lanes, got radar'd at 103 in a 55. Luckily I was going into the Navy, and my recruiters went with me to court, and it got lowered to 80 in a 55 with a $1 fine.

Btw, it was a 92 RS with a stock 305TBI.

Re: whats the fastest you have gone in your thirdgen?

fast ive gone is 85mph with my 3.1l auto. i havent had time or really wanted to open it up. plan to break a 100mph this spring before i sell it.

wondering if having the windows down and t-tops off. would hurt me doing 100mph?

Re: whats the fastest you have gone in your thirdgen?

i hope nothing is wrong with my car, lol, it was a 4th generation mustang, and I'm assuming it was a v6, i didnt see any GT badges... But there was a 03 GT reving his engine at me last month, i didnt race him, but from watching him gun it, i could swear i would have taken him from a dig...

Re: whats the fastest you have gone in your thirdgen?

well back when i first got mine i decided to go out on the highway and its only a 85mph but it will keep going around.....with half a carb, 3.73 gears and a 5 speed(stock with just 78,000 miles) i hit 135 and then casually slowed down..i think thats not bad for a 305.....but that was a while ago and could have kept going but with half a carb it wasn't going to max out anytime soon.
got a couple more mods now so i should easily beat that.

Re: whats the fastest you have gone in your thirdgen?

How many of you are running the 700r4 with 3-4 WOT enabled? I'm curious how much the 700r4 could actually handle in overdrive at WOT. Not that I'll be going that fast all the time, but its one of the deciding factors between me sticking with my 700r4 or switching to the T-56.

Lol. I know a girl in Riverside, CA, and sometime in the future I'm taking my 92 RS down there to meet up with her. Long trip and something tells me that I'm going to try to make GREAT time (wink, wink), this girl is FINE!!! Lol. Worth driving 130+ for!

I haven't been past 85 in my car, I don't want to crash it! Lol, next year I'll do a top speed run.

Maybe if I get bored in Riverside we could do some cruising.

Re: whats the fastest you have gone in your thirdgen?

lol get to kill some riverside r**ers when you come down. Its raining over here, got to love that. some kid in his h***a pulls up next to you at a light, revs his blender. light turns green, he takes off, you drive normal. he "wins" next time you see him on dry pavement, light up your tires from a dig wave goodbye, , let off once you are speed limit and let the fly by proceed

Yeah for sure. I got some modding going on this year, headers, lt1 cam, tune, open element intake, and TBI mods. Should be around 220hp when I'm done, when I come down we'll have to set up a race and then we'll go crush some ricers!


I hear the cops down there are really hard on street racing though.

I dont know what kind of numbers im pushing, but my car with the given mods has beat my friends stock 88 gt by a car length. back before my custom cold air and new injectors, he walked me from both roll and dig. now on a launch i eat him by a few cars till the tpi runs out of breath. after that we stay even (him behind me by a car length)

as for the cops, i havent been pulled over surprisingly.

Wow, not bad man. I hope I don't get pulled over either! How many miles on your car? Mine has 125k. Looks like it has way less though. I also replied to the post in the 305 vs. Celica and Silverado.
