What closed track are you all at hitting those speeds? I'd hate to see any young impressionable 17 year olds reading this forum get into a top speed pissing contest on the street and hitting and killing some other car full of innocent bystanders.

Fastest i've ever gone was at the end of the front straight at autoclub speedway (a 0.6 mile or so straight, and entering it at like 80mph or so) and it wasn't as fast as any of those.

Same here!! ONLY thing i don't like about my car is the sickenly low 130 mph it goes....

Where the hell do you live that you can drive 130mph enough that it bothers you that its as fast as you can go? I want to know because I want to come visit!

Backyard

I only hit high speeds my first few times until i realized that i would be in serious trouble if i don't slow down fast enough for the next turn (and also realized at that point why i could never hit the proper line those first few times.)

Btw, reviewing some vids now, it looks like it was mid-130s at best. I never got that fast in succeeding runs, in an effort to set up properly for the next curve.

p.s. Another mistake, it's not GPS, but a GTech. Yeah, it's been a while. Sorry for the misinfo. earlier.

OP, if you want to make your car go faster, drive downhill.

I've looked into cold air intakes, new exhausts, plenum spacers and a new computer chip but none of these things seem like things I can do myself with little knowledge in car modification. Just looking for a little advice on what I can do.
Thanks, Bill
