hey i got my third gen to about 105-115. i played it safe on the roads. lets hear some other ones.

 

i dunno.. my speedo doesnt work but when i raced my friends 280z he said we were doin 110 b4 we slowed down

 

mine is really really super duper ultra omega fast.

 

we need mph man unless urs doesnt work too

 

When I used to take the toll roads around here, I wold just kick back and cruise at 108-109MPH for 10-15min (my ecm cuts spark at 110mph)

 

Went up to 130-145 racing TexasLT1 and had plenty of steam left .

 

my speedo only goes to 85 but I know my car goes much faster than that .One time I smoked a 99 grand prix on the freeway and I know he was at top speed however fast those cars max out at.I wish I new my top speed...........Why is ther two of these threads,there also one in tech/engine and it makes things more confusing............

 

is that your 305 or the 301 ???

 

120, by accident

 

Pretty much every 3rd gen (except the iron duke maybe) could hit 110. This doesn't really prove anything. We are talking about the track though and not reckless behavior right?

 

well to the guy who asked about the other board like this. it should have been removed. i put in the wrong spot by accident and then removed it. must not have woprked and to shifty. i wouldnt mind seein both but please clarify which is which

 

had it to 155 on a deserted *runway*


run 109-110 in the 1/4

 

I dunno, my speedo only goes up to 85mph... but I got the MPH needle onto the KMH side of the guage

 

both, but mainly the 301

 

I just don't want people to post any storied related to their high speed endevors. TGO cannot promote that. We will pretend everyone was on a deserted runway and no one will mention the reasoning behind why they went that fast.

 

anyways my 3rd gen is slow... LOW 14s = HONDA CIVIC SLOWNESS

 

alright thanks shifty. ya i was on the track at four n the mornin

 

yea thats tru about the street racing shifty.. im done doing that because it really is stupid. i got pulled over( not street racing ) @ 2am going home, i guess i was more tired than i thought, slippin in and out so i am glad i got the pull over, i aws driving with my brights on and i guess i was swerving because the officer asked if i had anyhting to drink( although he didnt say anyhting about me swerving) and he said i was doin 56 in a 45... i was lucky enuff to get a wawrning so my crazy driving is gone for granny style

 

Although young, and for some reason not following the stereotype, I drive it slow. Fastest I've gone with my 350 at 16 years old is 70 on the freeway.

 

90 in the 1/4 on a dieing 350 and a high speed of an 145+ according to the speedo

hoping for 160+ after stroker/t56 swap

 

You are smart. Speed belongs at the track.

 

so how fast have u gone on the "track" shifty. i can vouch for atleast one close to 100 run and for me prob. 115-125 i dont really watch the speedo much things are movin to fast to be worried about the speedo.

 

140 mph at the end of the 1/4 mile track.Dont think it would stay at 140 on the street for very long the oil pan only holds so much oil.

 

I had mine up to 125 yesterday.

 

Had mine to 115 before. But that was before the trans swap. Now the speedo says 0 all the time. Also I have had the hammer down in 5th and it was still pulling but I was getting close to 5 grand so I decied to back out of it before I broke something else.

 

129.77 at firebird raceway

mike

 

119.68 mph at the drag strip Shooting for 125 mph next time out.

 

I have been faster on the street in my moms Subaru than the Mustang (Id say 120 for the Subaru, 110 tops for the Mustang, and I was actually following a cop at 100 in the Mustang. He was the only car to pass me, so I dropped in behind him). Needless to say I go with traffic, and never feel a need to go all out!

 

been 130 but not going to do that again.

trapping 96 at the track. kinda slow but i will get it someday. LOL

 

I had my 89 RS in excess of 150, speedo didn't go that high, but my reprogrammed chip cut off at 155.








Oh, did I forget to mention that I had changed the gears in the rear end, and hadn't changed the speedo gear? I guess it was more like 105 at that point, for every actual mile registered as 3. Sorry, had to be a smartass.

 

Well these are Canadian numbers...

My speedo is dialed back 80 km/h as well. Meaning when I'm doing 90 km/h, it only reads 10 km/h...

My speedo reads to 140 km/h...

I have had it pinned, so there is a minimum 220 km/h (140 + 80 for the dial back) and had lots to give after that.

Quick conversion... 1 Mile = 1.6 kilometers
1 Kilometer = 0.625 Miles

220 km/h = 138 Miles Per Hour

That is approximately by the way. Don't kill me for the math, I did it quickly in my head...

Like I said, I had lots to give. When I bought the car, the guy told me that it was close to a 200 mph car...
where that could ever be confirmed I have no idea. No, I don't believe it is either, but the way it was pulling at 140 mph, I wouldn't doubt if it could break into the 180's...

 

6500rpm in 5th, 3.73 rears, what ever that works out to. I had to let off the engine still wanted to rev

 

that car with your mods in your sig? no where near 180mph unless there is more to what you got listed

 

What do you think then?
I was only a little past half throttle at 140...
If you know, I guess you know, but what do you think?
If my dads stock '74 Vette can do 135 mph with more to give, why can't I?

 

i dont really know, with that L98 corvette motor, it should be pushing more power than the regular Fbody L98

you should be able to hit 160 i think. depends on your gears. you got a 5 speed? thats nice and may help your top end speed.

my L98 i feel should hit 145-150 with 2.77 gears. i did 130 and was cruising and had another 2000rpms left before i max my hp with TPI. just a thought.

 

My 91 6spd l98 vette with 3.43 rear ran 245km/h that was it, about 150mph. It pulled fine up to that speed and seemed like there was more to go then it stopped. Drag overcame power.

BBK Twin 58mm Throttle Body, CenterForce Clutch, Crane Cam,
4th Gen SS Mandrel Magna Flow Exhaust w/ 3” Stainless Steel Pipes

These seem to be the only performance oriented mods, and to me that looks like...

an L98 with TB, cam and exhaust... Doesnt sound like a 180-200 mph capable motor, as the only cars I have seen approach 200 mph have had upwards of if not a bit more than 400 hp! I can see the 140 you claimed, but then add 80 to it? Thats where I think the issue is...

 

140 + 80 is in km/h...for an actual speed of 220 km/h
Then convert it to miles gets the 140...
It was hypothetical stuff as I had never been past 140mph and was guessing based on feel...

Well then this is what throws me off...

Your not going to see 180 mph!

 

i trap 100+ mph at the track in the 1/4. been to a calculated 135mph. speedo is WAY off. the tranny is from a 3.23 car, i have 4.10's and 28" tires so, yeah. it's an 85mph speedo, and i had it wrapped around reading 55 mph!

 

97 at the track this year. looking for 120 next year. did 120 on the interstate once, never going to do that again

 

i took the camaro to 7500 rpm. with the 25.5 inch tall tire and the 3.27 gears in the rear, it is calculated to 174mph. it was an "open road race" in texas. i think ive gone the fastest of all you so far, but not so much because i wanted to go that fast, i just didnt want to lose.

 

Well depending on my over drive ratio which im not sure of i either have you tied or beat by 10mph. Mathematically speaking of course.

 

i did 174mph with a th350. i dont think the motor made enough power to pull really hard in an overdrive! good going man, go to http://www.speedworldmotorplex.com/calc.htm
there is a hp calculator and tire hight rpm mph calculator.

 

I have a 260 km/h speedo. I once had my old (original) 305 tpi LB9 buried past that mark (and not on any public road). I can't say I've done anything that stupid since.

 

GPS 153, screaming redline in overdrive with a tailwind on a cool afternoon.

 

143mph with 2.77 gears. Still had a lot left, but I won't be doing it again....at least anytime soon

 

i took my camaro up to about 130mph still had lots of pull and was only at 2900rpm in 3rd

 

138 with 4.11's and that was overspinning s/c
