stevenjoseph82 Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 Hey, how fast have you guys got your cars goin'? I'd say the fastest I've been in mine was inbetween 120 and 130mph. I'm really not sure, because my speedometers off because of my tires. I got pulled over for 86, when my speedo said I was only goin'79. It read 122, but who knows? Anyways, HOW FAST? Quote
ismellrealbad Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 105 cuz of the god damn governor.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Quote
musthavemuzk Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 within a week of purchasing my cutty i got her to cutout at 118. later i find out my speedo is off by 2 as the front tires are not what they should be. so it was 116 in reality. Monty Quote
grandprix104 Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 maxed out the seedometer at 120 so i was goin a bit faster than that. I love Nevada back-roads 8) Quote
stevenjoseph82 Posted March 28, 2003 Author Report Posted March 28, 2003 that's the beauty of the digital speedometer......she won't max out til 999.......i would guess anyways Quote
Guest Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 keep in mind that as the speedo gets higher, it becomes less accurate. I know this from having several cars calibrated and seeing the results. They give you a card with the actual vs shown. On my Z28, by the time the speedo hit 100 it was 6mph off, but only 3mph off down at 50. The amount of difference increases. At 25, it was only 2 off Quote
ismellrealbad Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 that's the beauty of the digital speedometer......she won't max out til 999.......i would guess anyways 199 for a GP cluster at least Quote
NORBI Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 I guess that there is not governor on 88 CS because on a highway that was going downhill i hit 136 for about 3 seconds, i thought that its impossible in those cars to go that fast and i survived, but later my steering pump went bad. Quote
OldsmoBeast Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 160 KM/h....i dunno how fast that is, maybe 90 or something? my alignment was bad so it was scary...it had some pull left in it for sure though Quote
OldsmoBeast Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 that's the beauty of the digital speedometer......she won't max out til 999.......i would guess anyways 199 for a GP cluster at least I think it's 199 on mine too because when it starts up it turns all the possible dashlights on and with all the lights on it reads 188...if it could go to 999 wouldn't it read 888? i don't know....meh Quote
J Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 115 or so, on my 234/45/17 Nittos, and about 110 on my 195/75/14 (THAT WAS NUTS) gotta love the trip back to college for the week on a dark freeway! Later Jay Quote
Jasonz34 Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 You guys are lucky you have the place to do this. Quote
Jasonz34 Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 I can't do this on the interstate! Too many cops and traffic. I would get busted. Quote
OldsmoBeast Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 in Ontario, everyone speeds on the 401 but there's always cop traffic. On the smaller highways like 7&8 which are right near where i live, there's usually a lot less police during the day on weekdays. plus there's a lot of stretches that just go straight for a while through the countryside and its extremely boring if you're not flying thru it Quote
stevenjoseph82 Posted March 28, 2003 Author Report Posted March 28, 2003 I always just use this stretch of state highway here in Indiana. It's not really that safe to do, but it's straight. It's a 4-lane highway, so I figure that if a cop was coming the otherway, he'd have to slow down so much to make it through the median that I'd be long gone. It's takin' your chances, but when I feel that need for speed...AIN'T NOTHIN' GONNA STOP ME!!! Quote
OldsmoBeast Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 lol what scared me outta doing that was this: last week on my way to school, i was going about 116 in a 50 or 60 zone (Km/h) and i was coming around a slow curve and i see a cop car in the oncoming lane!! i slowed down as quick as possbile but he was apparetnly too preoccupied to even notice me.....stopped my heart for a few seconds tho!

Justin Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 I've limited my W's out, 125 in 91 GP 3.4, and 117 in my 89 CS's... Lots of empty road in ND, but lots of deer too. BTW, hit 155 in my 77 Ventura, 205 75R14 used tires.... tires are overrated....... Quote
Thabulldog Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 110 on a cut off for 2 exit ramps on the LIE, i needed brakes about a week after that Quote
Bake82 Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 Had my 88 cutlass up to 165km/h..whatever that is in mph and still pulling...A LITTLE!!!!!! lol, stupid 2.8 v6...and no power... Quote
JS91Z34 Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 pretty damn fast here, I was chasing my buddys' 5.0 mustang that he thought would leave me behind with no problem. Quote
PJB Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 Probably 10 mph in the Cutlass, pinned the speedometer (85 mph) on the S10. Quote
