how fast have you been - Page 3

136 mph on my stock 99 SE on I-5 when I was really really really late to work for about a 15 mile stretch. Photo did not turn out to prove it---damn batteries. I am heading out with a cop friend of mine to see if we can recreate the test and have him radar. There is a spot in the eastern part of the state with a highway that is as straight as an arrow for nearly 50 miles and very few vehicles--that is where we will test it.

It would really funny if he gave you a ticket.

No, far from funny. It would be a $1809 fine if he did! But he won't, we do this kind of thing all the time. Last time, I was up to 131.

Well that just goes to show you that you shouldent be going 136MPH. I hope he gives you a ticket next time.

Got my 04 to 110 easy, just barely in 4th. 100 feels like 70 in other cars.
Buddy got his 04 auto up to 150, stock at the track.

ROFLMAO...you are so full of it.

I have a friend who pegged 140 on a slight downhill in a '96 SE. It pulled to the mid 130's before the road dipped.

I got my geo to 110

ummm...right. What track, the off a cliff track? ROFLMAO!

I've been in a 5th gen at 155mph; it can happen.

It's going to take a lot more than 260 HP to push one to 155 given the weight and aerodynamics of the car. Stock, 155? I'll call BS on that.

THT · 09-28-2004, 09:12 PM

Nowhere in my post did I mention it was stock. It was pushing over 260hp at the wheels though.

Do you even know where the govenor is set at on the 04? I assumed he was at the track, since that's what we were talking about, but he also street races, so maybe the highway. He does have a CAI Injen, but doubt that was really needed to hit the very possible 150. I just love how the 6th is so underestimated.

I sure hope you don't mean track as in 1/4 mile.
