Re: top speed

142mph in 5th gear. It was so fun, the scenery never changed [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] I saw the same wall right in front of me the whole time. the wheels just kept spinning and spinning.

Re: top speed

155 is the limited speed, Persoanlly 120 is the highest I have dared get to. And it was EASY getting there.

Re: top speed

132 here - damn that was fast. Lost my nerve and let off the gas. Forgot how hard you have to brake to get from 132 back to 55! It was sweeeet, tho.

Re: top speed

I hit 152 in 5th gear, at 5500 rpms, there is a governor in 5th gear the rpms wont go over 5500. If you take that out you would be able to go faster.....great feeling....

Re: top speed

I was going to see how far I could take 6th, but I was paranoid enough being on a dyno for the first time. first I thought I was going to fly off and run into the wall. then I was paranoid that I was doing harm running her in 5th to fuel cut off.

Re: top speed

Must have been strange and unsettling to top out inside a building, and pointing at a wall. I don't blame ya bro. I haven't got to a dyno yet, but I can't say I'm looking forward to it.....[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: top speed

I got to 120mph easy and it still want to go up. I had only 500mi on my G at that time so I had to let off the gas. I know, stupid move because i was still in the break in period.

Re: top speed

Was cruising 135mph with my buds to my left and right at the same speed next to me at 3am coming back from LA on the 101. To my left was my buds silver 2002 WRX (modefied) and to my right was other bud in a black 2002 WRX (slightly modefied). We were at 135mph for about 10 minutes. Fun stuff...
