what do you think a ek hatch with a b18c will hit with intake and exhaust? im gonna have the privlege of finding out pretty soon

[KoRnboy]

I'll wager 130-135

[YOUNGSTER]

i hope to hit that id be happy im probably gonna get a ecu upgrade with no speed limiter so i hope i can get it up faster

[94tegRS]

well, I went from the short ram back to the CAI and hit 112 on the same stretch where I ojnly hit like 103 with the short ram. sounds a bit nicer as well. when its turboed il hit the limiter easy, BTW, whats the speed limiter on a 92 LX sedan?

127 on nice open I-55 south to Normal, IL. It was me and a 01ish Benz S500 cruisin. He showed me who was boss in the end though. Before he exited, he opened up and took his all the way to the 155 limit!!! Me and my friend (riding shotgun) could only watch as he pulled away. I shed a tear of respect and went on my merry way.


This was before I slapped those heavy ass Motegi 18's on my car though. I could probably hit 123 or so with them on. They are heavy as hell and kill my gas mileage, but DAMN do they look good on my car! (If I may say so myself)

A few years ago I took my '89 Accord up to 110 in 4th gear. Too bad 5th gear was disabled; I woulda kept going...

177mph in a friend's GSX. I don't know the extent of his modlist but it was all on the factory turbo.

I know. I just have a little fun raggin on American V6s. They just don't ever seem to be able to pull all the performance out of those engines. Even after supercharging (as GM LOVES to do) they don't use all the engine's potential. I'm not saying they are all slow cuz a 4 cylinder accord isn't exactly a speed demon itself, but there's so much unused potential in the Grand Am's Grand Prixs, Malibus, Taurus's, Intrepid's, etc.

Its about time they supercharged the Grand Am tho. Its been such a whipping boy for the past decade. I hate those new Pontiac G Prix commercials though, where the guy is using the button shifting on the steering wheel and when he shifts UP the rpms go UP too!?! Maybe people who don't pay much attention to cars (or commercials) wouldn't catch that, but I saw it and was like WTF!

I know...too much time on my hands.

WHOA! I never noticed that! Hahaha, my friend has two Grand Prix GTPs, and he's gonna get it from me the next time I see him!

I don't know much about these new generation (like 4th or 5th gen) Pontiacs. Does it have some sort of "Sport" mode that would cause it do do that, or it just reds on its own?

[YOUNGSTER]

im not sure i just would punch it getting on the freeway and it would go up into the redline its pretty quick it has a pretty good powerband. it accelerates pretty quick.
