[EVOL 8]

Here's mine.

[Don Juan]

I dont have a picture, but I did 140 on the prelude

[Don Juan]

what car did you do 160? your evo?

[turboXR]

Top speed is around 150 for Ellie. I've only had her up to around 130 tho...I do know the top speed in 4th gear: 120+mph ;)

[Mays]

my buddy with a ZX10R topped his out the other day...187 MPH.

[Forest]

Topped out my buddies BMW 850i at 200kph, which is about 158mph. My 240 hit 115 and feels like a mack truck lassoed my rear bumper.

Edit: Thats a completely stock 850i by the way.

[TripleZero]

My cars top speed is 255mph. Thank you PWRTUNER!!!!!!!!
I dunno how fast I've had her.. Needle burries at 115

[Tibby]

:laugh: :yes:

[Jet-Lee]

I ran the scort up to 115 (governor) racing a couple times. Since I've disabled that, I don't wanna go faster than I have to on my tires (showing wire). Although I've been in a ZX2 that ran up close to 130 and climbin, but ran out of road (412).

[Mr. Merk]

i'm gonna need someone to pace me when the truck gets back to running

[s2ksam]

redlined 6th at 155mph

[John]

Been in the 150s many times. In my car in an STi, Integra Type R, and an Eclipse.

[5point_Slow]

i dont want to look down when im topping out my bike but it has been done while racing a c5. the ta went 153 and the cobra isnt known cause the gears change the calibration of the speedo but it goes way past 160 which isnt correct

Crazy. :o

[Mr. Merk]

caleb took his RX7 to 165mph with 2 passengers before he came to his senses and let off, i know the feeling

['Cuda66]

Barracuda- I've been 135+, it will do more but I'm not sure how much.
Accord- Just a little over 120.
Blazer- A little over 115, but it gets there really fast.

A two-seater car with 2 passengers? Who got shafted into that little ass trunk?

Oh Yeah! Merk, I'll pace ya whenever ya want so you know how fast ya go.

[Mr. Merk]

2 girls in pass seat! lol

Ha, why is that? Underestimate the LS1. I can pull on STis at 70mph and put a car length on decently quick...

Are EVOs that much faster than STis? I didn't know they were.

[Mr. Merk]

with my previous mods i was even with an LS1 from 40-120ish (dont really know, thats why i need a pace car), but we're tacking on at least another 75whp....conservatively

[1meanTA]

i had the ol' TA up to 165 on the cherokee turnpike with the t-tops off...that was nutz...i might have been able to go faster, but it ripped my headliner up and it looks shitty....and i was scared.

my honda....(green 98 accord 5spd 4cyl vtec) i have had up to 135

[9524tee]

Not sure , like 135 ish ... weak .

[witeRida]

had a 1975 olds omega with stock everything 'cept carb filter up to around 130mph, i think. it only showed 100mph, but the guy i raced' gov kicked in at 120 and i past him pretty easily. also had my bronco to 100! it was nutz cuz the wind almost picked me up and threw me. :no: :clap:

[blackztsfocus]

my gov. kicks in at 109 for some messed up reason but i took the lincion ls out and toped it out at about 135 before i saw two cops coming the other way.


kyle

[SmokeyTheBear]

lincoln ls v8 or v6?? the v8s are the shizzle and the v6s are pretty fun to drive too. also, its a focus, its probably not built for high speed bone stock.

not my car :???: i asked terry about that a while back b/c i didn't remember this, he said he never ran you, just played w/you and never got up that high. probably only like 80 or so, maybe a little bit higher. but maybe you were talking about another ls1...

twice actually, once on north thompson street, during a cruise, up the hill by county line liquor, i top 3rd out at 80mph, we were deep in to 4th gear

second on college heading north, started at 40mph near the stoplight by gator golf (just came out of carwash) once again in to 4th, we let off a little south or right by shake's

first time you were at my fender/door

2nd time you were in the blindspot by my tail light

[IneedWelfare]

threads like this are completely retarded, and anybody who knows anything about cars knows why

1. 1/2 the people strait out lie

2. 99% of the cars out there, DO NOT have speedometers that can provide any type of accurate readings past 100mph... so if it says ur doing 150.. you might be doing 170... but more than likely you are doing 130... so all these threads are pointless. The top speed thread on arimport got completely out of hand, we had people driving honda's claiming 180... i'm like WTf, i don't think so buddy

[Benji]

I am not stupid enough to go crazy fast anymore, but ...

I did 183mph in the Lightning and I still had 700 rpm to go before redline ...

and before anyone calls Bullshit, it was on the dyno!

HAHA!

I agree 100%. My speed was recorded by the dyno and no way would my truck do anywhere near 183mph on the street.

yeah we played. i remember both those times.. but terry said he never raced, he was just toying w/you. but anyway, we'll have a go when you get your truck fixed and settle it :thumbup:

oh and where is this razorback restoration place? we were in rogers last week and were gonna stop by but didn't know where it was and terry's dad had never heard of it

[Mr. Merk]

phone book?? i cant find it in my old one

yah he claims that, but like i've said, why go triple speed limit down college and not at least get up beside me

that time down college was when we were first having trouble w/2nd gear, we stayed beside you easily, then he went to shift to 2nd and it wouldn't go in so of course we lost our momentum, then if you'll remember, we pulled off in the razorback cinema, then decided we better take her home ;)

[standgeblase]

racing on the street is smart! then posting about it on an open forum is even smarter! yay! ewe arr teh sarmt!!!

Don't make excuses for the fact you got beat by a 4 cylinder truck. The whole 2nd gear thing is your fault. I have the skip shift and it never has bothered me. I'm thinking your second gear got messed up because Terry thought it would be cool to power shift and just rip it through gears. SKAGS skipshift only engages if you are going less than 21% throttle. Don't make excuses.

Mr. Merk, I thought you ran a 14 or so at Mokan. If that's not true, what did you run?

Don't let her talk you out of your victory. They were trying and had to make excuses that their expensive automobile was beaten by a 4 cylinder in a two door truck.

Be proud Merk.

ok here goes! i've taken my ambien and its working quite well... so bare w/me..

he didn't beat us eitherway, that time on college we did lose momentum which is why we fell slightly behind, but as soon as we got everything worked out we caught right up.. no problem..

thats lovely it hasn't bothered you. it has me, and it's caused trouble for me. but you know what, it's just fine ;)

haha.. no, that's dumb. we know exactly what happened, there was no "ripping" through the gears :laugh:

i've always told him that i'm impressed w/his truck, i am only correcting him that he hasn't beaten us..

[Mr. Merk]

whoa whoa whoa, i never said i beat her....i just said neither of us pulled on each other, dont get the wrong idea


btw: razorback was the other direction from where we were going...and you were already in 2nd when we took off, you guys got sideways out of the carwash (i was up the road a little) and then we paced until the bottom of the hill before we both hit it

disclaimer: not trying to start anything here, just stating what happened, and i'm not claiming any victories, for me it was a victory just giving a vette run for its money, but i never said i was faster or won

i have to admit tho, the feeling was great, it was like treading water and waiting for that whistle to blow and being relieved that you didnt drown, its a personal feeling of victory.....lol.....except my whistle was a handful of cars pulling out of sonic a little ways ahead of me...that thing road walks under braking like a mother...

[John]

I'm going to reply for VetteChick so she doesn't waste anymore time.

PS:This is not how I feel Patrick.

"Yeah right Pat, you never had us. You never had your car. Doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winnings winning. You think you could take us in your little 4 cylinder? Haha yeah right that thing sounds like it should sprout wings and fly away. Your 4 cylinder is half of what my 8 cylinder is (Her not realizing the irony of her statement). I wish you all would see that my Corvette is a God/Goddess and 4 cylinders can eat shit because they sound like bumblebees.

Oh BTW GTO_John pwns me!"

I saved some time and effort for you VetteChick...Don't waste your time responding.

[specvmike]

Hey Patrick how long till you get the truck up and running again? Don't forget i want a ride in it when its done :))

[Mr. Merk]

the guy who has my engine hasnt called or answered the phone in a long while so i'm gonna stop buy his favorite bar at 5pm tomorrow

i'm remotivated now, thanks guys

then i'm not sure what time you're talking about... i only remember, well i guess 3 times b/c there was that one time we pulled out of blockbuster in springdale.. but other than that, there was that time down thompson where you took off and terry didn't downshift and we stayed right beside you, and the other time down college where we pulled into razorback. both were during a cruise.. those are all that i can think of...

and it wouldn't go in so of course we lost our momentum

That's what happens when you lose, you lost more momentum than the other person.

those are all that i can think of

Just because that's all you can think of, doesn't mean that's all there was.

I can only think of a few times I threw fits when I was younger, and not one time that I was in the hospital for colic, but I do know from other people (parents) telling me that I was ruthless and had quite a few ER visits as a baby.

Your just pissy because Patrick's truck is as fast as your muy expensive Corvette.

[Mr. Merk]

correction john *was as fast, then i started modding it, lol and it got slower cuz i didnt know what i was doing, such as the time coming out of block buster on 412, lol, 5 out of 10 times i'd get on my truck it would just stutter because of the larger buick high impedence injectors i put in, anyone who knows what i'm talking about knows that without the chip (that i was going to make the evening my truck died) it wont run right

and the 2nd time i was referring to we were going UP the hill past gator golf after we both pulled out of Sud's carwash

[Mr. Merk]

i'm gonna get the mother hugger done....

don't try to act smart.. that was really dumb. considering everything happened in the last year, and we haven't cruised w/patrick much, chances are i'd remember. and if you'll note, i said that's all that i remembered, leaving it open for patrick to correct me if i forgot something :P

nah... i'm really not pissy. and if he gets his truck to be faster than my car, then that's awesome (no sarcasm there). i like patrick and i like his truck.. but as of the last times we were out together, he wasn't faster than me. we're gonna have a go when everything is back in working order ;)
