3800 How fast have you gone?

[sgtp]

you guys have some serious balls. Ive been up to 125 a few times on my shit tires rated for 110 or so. You have to break slowly or you will lose it. And you better have the room for it with no turns. I thought I was going to die when I got loose in the rear going around what is a gental bend at 70 but a death wish in triple digits. I wont be doing anything like that again any time soon. Expecially not with an 80k old stock springs/struts, shit tires, and bent to hell sway bar bushing brackets.

I am usually pretty intimate with how my vehicle can handle what speed. Right now I'd have no qualms about topping it out, but I have VR rated tires, and a fully rebuilt suspension, with all new brakes. Same goes with the bike, I wouldn't even ride it if my tires were questionable.
Pushing your luck in a car that's several years old with questionable components not only puts you at risk, but other's too. Speeds under 120-110 aren't too bad from a safety standpoint on an average car, beyond that I'd find some real desolate piece of road.

About the worst (reckless) I've done is 180 on 75th street out by Fox Valley mall with the wife on the back of the bike. But it was also about 3am, she wanted to get up to speed, and there wasn't a car in sight. Fortunately it doesn't take too long to get to that speed and slow down on the ZX9. For those familiar with the area, we were heading towards the mall, and I went from a 50mph roll at Book rd, and slowed by the light at Rt 59.

I've had the GTP up to 100 a couple times... but that's it, had the TA up to 168 once ... way too scary... shit happens too fast for public roads

 

[MIKES3]

I had it up to about 120. I think my cadillac ws more fun at those high speeds up top. I never had a problem hitting 150 in my STS. I had a couple of mods on that. I know I could have went faster.

The craziest was when 5-6 GPs were all coming home from a meeting in the old club.

They were all doing well over 130 MPH... It was out of control and dangerous!!

 

[rjaz gtp]

I hit 126 mph on I-88 going West past Rt. 47...
there was not a a single car in sight for as far as i could see...
kind of scary though, cause I was running an open cone, and 3.4 then, no other mods...
can you say scary when the car starts rattling

 

[imported_Diavolo]

I hit 105 in the GTP. 100 in the GT.

 

[john99gtp]

i passed my friends cavi at 115 felt like i was doing 55mph.

Swing by Saturday around noon, I'm changing the oil and trans fluid and filter in the Regal. I may even try to finish wraping my "Project Breath Right" pieces.

who was that mysterious stranger?????

 

[LPSPEED2]

I usually dont speed, but 136 MPH on the way back from union grove, having fun with XTC when he had the Audi TT. I would have gone faster, but on the stock pcm thats where it stopped running and cutting out.

 

[Krobar2]

I estimated abou 120 in my GT heading south on I-57 toward U of I. It was hard to say when it is off the speedometer and I don't have HUD <_<

You wont see 162 out of a stock or nearly stock car though. LIke I said, you hit 4th gear and you just arent going to pick up much more speed.


Getting to 130 is easy and quick. After that it slows down fast. I dont remeber the exact numbers, but IIRC the drag load on your car grows exponentially as you increase speed. I wish I knew the actual formula. Safe to say that the load more than doubles over a small range of speed.

i defiently say longer than that, those times arent possible in a gtp that lightly modded.
