the death grip doesnt do **** when you have a good 2 inches of play in the wheel. I look like an idiot in there sawing the wheel back and forth just to keep it straight. Might be time for a front end rebuild i think. or tires. or both

 

WHAT!!!! 2" of play is extremely dangerous man. Better fix that before you regret it. Becareful man. Don't play too dangerous.

 

My 87 Sport Coupe LG4 has an 85 speedo. but i had it pegged on the interstate. got up to and estimated 120. the front end started to lift, and the steering got very light. I backed off.

 

I know ive been trying to track down the main cause without replacing stuff cause that costs money. has to be the tie rod ends or the box not sure. It stays parked in the driveway most of the time cause its hard to drive straight. Too much power to not to be able to steer it.

 

ahem, one Mr. Hunter S Thompson "Faster, Faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death."

 

I have play in the steering wheel too, it's all in the box on my car. Got a new lee 670 box for it but not installed yet.

As for top speed the few times I've taken it to near a dollar fifty it's always been rock steady. The fear was stopping if I needed too. 10.5" rotors and street pads don't like those types of antics. My suspension is all tight, no play. Aside from the box issue steering is tight as well. Needs an alignment though. All that weight loss up front has given the car some positive camber. It's skyjacked in front right now, at least I'm not driving it currently. I'd destroy my new nt05s.

 

my play causes it to wonder bad under braking not that it would stop anyway with those little brakes. when i get my steering fixed im gonna really wind it out, hoping for a buck fifty at least. Although there is that whole fear of dying thing

 

might be somthing wrong if its getting squirrely, mine was very stable at 140+ till i hit rough road.

 

Went down I16 at about 11PM one night with a hefty girl in the passenger seat of my 92' L98 Z28. Speedo said 145 but her phone and my gps said 153-155. Maro was stock. Pedal had more to her but I backed off after she felt like she was ready to lift off. lol

 

Im pretty sure there is with that play in the wheel. i have to figure out how to adjust the steering box.

 

135 in my first 86 iroc down i-80 at 2 or 3am coming back from picking it up in omaha,ne

 

134 I had to look at the GPS to see my speed

 

145mph in a 2001 SS LS1 Camaro...have a video too haha

 

I gotta see that!!!! Pm me the link!!!

 

Here ya go sir! ...and sorry it was ONLY 140mph, I forgot.

My car and the Camaro

And the video:

I use my 91 for NASA Time Trials and hit 6,000 rpm in 4th gear which is 137 mph then take 5th (.83 overdrive) and continue to accelerate for about another half of the straight away at Willow Springs and Cal Speedway. I'm going over 140 lap after lap before hitting the brakes for 20 minutes at a time. I have a carbon fiber drive shaft and the car is stable and smooth as can be.

 

151. Speedo only goes to 120. Was playin around on the highway with a vette that I knew I stood no chance against. Ran side by side for a good while after he showed me whos boss. Signalled me to follow him. We stopped at a gas station. He said "Do you have a clue how fast you were goin?" Nope speedometee stops at a buck 20. Vette guy says," A hair over 150, blows my mind"..... fastest I've gone to thos day.

 

Man that is awesome how did the movie turn out?

 

89 stock v6 got it up to 157 on gps pulling away from a charger great time. That wasnt untill the motor was pulled and Lt1 dropped in with a few more accys lol.

I actually had a 97' cbr 900rr got it up to 209 on gps looking back it wasnt really smart got rid of it for my first 89'

 

Got my '92 RS up to 110 before with it still pulling ok.

Went around 140 in my '03 Eclipse with the top down when a speck of something flew in and hit me in the eye. Very scary!

 

1987 iroc-z 305 tpi stock trans 135

 

Im sorry I have to call BS on the V6 going 157 unless you had some major sized turbo and or n20 on that thing....

 

I was doing 195mph in the Iron Duke then looked over to see my 'stop talking sh*t' idiot light was flashing

 

85 mph on the nj turnpike ;] but in all honesty 130 in my integra and 146 in my vr6 jetta mind you the camaro is the only one of those three that has not been hit or totaled yet

 

110 down a bumpy back road in the middle of nowhere...not doing that again since I hit my head on the ceiling...

 

95 on my big wheel. There was a fat kid on back and he had a gps on his cell phone !!

 

agreed , i did have my stock v6 upto 120 something but it toook forever and a day with my foot planted firmly threw the floor while going slightly down hill

 

Well rolled one in the early 80s, skid marks 135 ft ,spedo ws buried 120 ,didnt get hurt lucky get get out alive. Any more im getting to old for that chit got grand kids (lol) Ill mess with the young guys especially the mustang boys . I got a 07 sport trac that gets alot of em to about 80 then il let off and let them fly down the road like an idiot. I dont worry about my driving it all the other morons out there

 

he never said what v6 he had, tta was a v6, it'd do that speed

 

Top speed of the 900rr in 1997 was about 170 with the 130hp motor.

You must be talking kmh because your numbers don't work otherwise.

 

if thats the case why in the world would u pull the 3.8 gn motor for a lt1

 

I think he was being smart, meaning the v6 was stock except for an lt1 swap which is plenty reasonable.

 

112 mph about a year ago. That felt really fast!

 

135 mph in a bone stock L98 1988 GTA, pretty sure thats all she had

 

133mph in my stock 305 TPI 5SP WS6 T/A with a 342 rear gear. Smooth as glass

 

 

70 Formy with a 455 HO turbo 400, Wrapped the needle past the 160 mark so don't really know how fast. That was before GPS's......

 

In the Camaro , 105 bringing it home from Fl. Seemed like a lot left.

In my 1st HHR SS 4 banger turbo 145 , Lot left , Ran out of road.

On a 1986 Yamaha FZ 750 158 mph , Scary fun !

 

I've done 80mph once. IT was the damn scariest moment in my life.

 

haha wtf

 

agreed... lmfao literly right now.

 

What can I say? Had all 3bbls of my carb open and with the suspension needing a little work it was just a tad bit scary.

 

u want scary when i was younger i had a chance to get my tad license , now mind u the fastest ive ever been down the 1/4 mile at this point was a mid 10 second car

the dragster will 60' in 1.0 or faster , i never completed my license testing i got to scared on my half track pass , that was the most violent launch i have ever experienced


it takes a special person to drive a tad or top fuel car, one day soon id like to give it another shot

 

I think that might be fun to do that. I doubt it was more scary then some of the cars I've driven.
remember it's not how fast you go that's the scary part its the hell the hell am I going to stop when this thin falls apart that's scary.

 

hehe fastest I've done myself was doing high speed tuning runs, due to not being able to load long enough at a given RPM until I'm in third gear for the 6000rpm and over mark (I wish there was a dyno closer to me). Decided to try on a nice long runway that I have access to and chickened out at 275km/h in overdrive. I still had about 1500rpm to go before the rev limiter and was still pulling hard. it looked as if my hood was going to fly off and top was down quite the rush. However I did not want to run out of pavement to stop and cook my brakes.

must have burned a 1/4 tank with that run alone hehe!

 

120 on my way back from up-north road trip wide open freeway.. Dash started to shake and I swear I could hear the car saying STOP!

 

about 130 mph.

-465 south bound from 116st ramp to the 82 st over pass at 3am.

 

135 on the speedo. took forever, speedo was probably off a lil at those speeds but still 125+

bone stock 88 l98, 2.77 gears
