What's the fastest you've gone?

~190kph 1981 RA60 Celica - Toyota
(did it on the 1st day I bought it, never able to reach over 160kph after that:( )
~205kph 2000 VX Commodore - GM Holden
(State Government Vehicle:D I luv company cars:D)
~185kph 1997 ST205R Celica - Toyota
(during an interstate trip while my girlfriend was asleep;) , had to slow down when she started to wake:D )

In my car only about 135mph, had heaps of revs to go but I hit a weird cut out..?

I have been about 170mph in a 92 3000GT, with a few mods. Properly timed.

In a 94 R32 GTR close to 180mph, we were only going by revs though. So can't tell the actual speed.

In a 99 WRX Sti, around 150mph.

that would guzzle gas like crazy! LOL
you'd have to stop for gas so much... 8L V10... it would be gpm instead of mpg, goin that fast! :D

gallons per mile, lol

My speedo only goes to 140, but Ive been a good bit past that... :D

One thing to start off with I wanna know the mods SPY did too pull 220mph.. and in Canada witch road did he use to pull this off at!!!!!!
(Canadains 99% real 1% fake) You do the math........


In ref to Matri- What mods have you done to ur Maxima??? and yr?



Gangstarr-why did you halfta go and piss off
the Canadian? -jk-

P.S. Gangstarr let me know when you in Colorado this winter
Im down for some boarding!!! you???


Me top speed only 120 car cuts off
Need chip (BAD)
But in a Qt 15.00 flat and prety proud
since its my family car!!!!:licker: :bloated:

155 mph in a 1991 Toyota Supra turbo, 125mph in a 1991 Honda Prelude Si, and 130 in a 1998 Audi A4. All trips were performed on a desolate section of road and were double backed before running to make sure no cops were around. The Supra and Audi had a rev limiter (although both were running out of steam by that point anyway) and the prelude was redline limited. Al three felt rock-solid the entire time.

i probably won't be goin to colarado this year... we usually just go to whistler each year, since we have another house there

Stupid GANG$TARR with all his money:D J/K

And at 220mph, it is very possible to wipe out on a Canadian road. I wouldn't ever do it. I would go to a racetrack:)

yeah well first things first, i don't think it's possible for the guy to go that fast
then second yeah that would be REALLY stupid to do on a public road :)

Go to your ECU, on the Right side of the screw there is a pink/blue wire, cut it and put a switch on it. Turn the switch off, no more speed limiter, car runs fine. You may get a check engine light if you leave it off too long, just reset it. :D

MODs, what mods?

METRAI it looks like you got cold air intake? And I was just wondering if you have made any other mods or if im right about the cold air?


P.S. thanxs for the tip on
limiter:D :D :D :)

Let's see... The air comes in via a K&N filter through the Place Racing Cold air intake. Exhaust is fed through the Warspeed Racing Y-pipe and Stillen Exhaust. Shifts are sped up by the Transgo Shift kit, and 225/50/16 Kuhmo Ecsta Tires mounted on 16" 300zx rims help put the power to the ground, dampend by H&R springs, and controled with a Matrix Front strut tower bar and an Addco Rear sway bar. When you really REALLY need to get there in a hurry, an 80 shot of NOS is just two switches and a gas pedal away, with the extra fuel supplied by a 255lph Walbarro fuel pump, and watched by autometer fuel pressure and A/F ratio guages. I think that's it, but theres more coming later... :D

Your welcome on the limiter ;)

Probably around 155 MPH in my 1989 LeBaronGTC Turbo.

Fastest would be 240 km/h in a stock protege. If i'm not mistaken thats about 150 mph.

Passed 150 this weekend on US 27N at about 6am. Nice long stretch with nothing on the road but me.

i don't think a protege can go 150mph... cause a camry is limited to like 130 or something like that, and it's a better more powerful car than a protege

okay i just checked it out on the mazda.com website... it's impossible that you did 240km/h in a protege

The SE models (103hp) top speed is: 178km/h (manual) and 165 (automatic)
The LX/ES models (130hp) top speed is: 195km/h (manual) and 176km/h (automatic)

That's the 2002 models specs
how'd you see 240km/h?!?!? :confused:

hmmmm 37mph in a 1971 Super BUG or Beettle!!!
118 1998 Dodge Dakota-boy i miss that truck
120 so far in my 1997 Nissan Maxima:sun: :eek: :alien2:

That is a good question.

The fastest I have hit in any of my cars was my LeBaron. How fast? Well the is the problem. I had the speedometer needle wrap back around to 35MPH. The speedometer on that car stops at 125MPH, and when I het 35 on the other side I was at about 5200 RPMs. My guess would be 155 maybe a little more. I would need a radar gun to find out.

POLY WHAT DID U DO TO UR CAR??? I KNOW THAT STOCK THE DONT GO THAT FAST!!!:confused: :confused: :confused:

It is mostly stock, the thing is it has a nice large and very healthy intercooled turbo in it that stock puts out about 13 pounds. Then I chipped it and now I had it pushing 20-21 pounds. The intake has been replaced as well as the exaust. Sometimes I run 120 octane in it as well. But that night I wasn't. I wouldn't want to push it that fast with 120 in it.

How'd i do 150 in a stock protege? simple, it's a 1991 Protege GT. It's the street version of the protege used in the WRC, or at least the american version, the japanese one had a turbo. So this protege, with the backseats and everything else that wasn't bolted down taken out and two people in the car weighs about 2000lbs. It has about 170 HP. When my cousin got it it was stock(still is actually) and it already has about an 11:1 Weight to power ratio.(a porche has one of like 9.4:1).

So thats how you do 150 in a stock protege. :sun:

Nice protege! Hwo much would one of those cost??

How much for that protege? well my cousin bought it about 4 months ago. When he got it it had a bit of body rust and the such.(it's to be exspected on a car tahts 10 years old and is in Newfoundland, quite possibly the worst place to have a car in North America.) He figuires about $1500 and it will be showroom quality(new paint job, rust removal and new seals for the windows, doors, sunroof etc...).

As for how much did it cost him to buy? $2,450 Canadian :)

It's a 1.8L DOHC NON-Turbo engine and it produces about 170HP and weighs about 2000lbs. Once it's done with a turbo, engine bore, and the engine redun with all full GT class titanium parts it should be quite a bit faster :)

You can actually get a GT version of the new 2002's but they don't have the same kind of power. It's jsut the standard 130-HP LE engine, but with nice rims and a different trim package.

Only $1500 canadian? I would guess closer to $4000 for a quality paint job, rust removal, and weatherstrips, unless he does all of that himself, then it might be closer to $2000

:smoker2:

hmmm... my carz got... 2" tweeder, 6" on the sides & wooferz of (all Focal speakers)... More Wattage dont mean ur sound will be any better... Got the McIntosh amp of only 400W... sound is crystal! Nakamichi deck...

i think you got the wrong thread man... this is for "what's the fastest you've gone"
not sound.. for sound go to cars in general, than there should be some audio forums in there

Well, i don't know, maybe it's cheaper here because people have to do it so much, or maybe they just don't do as good a job or something, but the rust removal he's doing himself. Actually we're doing it. Just as soon as their knew house is finished being built we're just gonna stick the car in his dads knew 50'X75' garage for a month or so and sand off every bit of rust we can find, inside and out. Then if my uncle will be kind enough to help us, we're dismantling the engine and doing a full overhaul.

The cars actually in pretty damn good condition for it's age and where we live.

Are there any owners clubs?? I will have to look into this, as that much fun for that little money is AWESOME!!:D

To tell you the truth, the cars a complete mystery to us. He bought it from a private seller and he didn't really tell him anything about the car. We snuck into a truck way station to find the weight ourselves. We took it out to the local Mazda dealer and we asked them if they had any catalouges or service manuels for a 91 protege GT and the guy laughed at us and said that they don't exist. Then we pulled open the drapes and showed it too him and his jaw almost hit the floor :)

One of their mechanics is into imports andthings and he said taht it must be the american version of the GT-X which was the japanese, turbo version, but they weren't brought state-side.

If the new 2002 proteges and anything to go by, then the GT is just and upgrade package and didn't really cost that much more.

hello i am the owner of the 91 protege that my cousin formerly talked about. There seem to be a few people who dont have the facts here no offence intended. my car is one of the last of the japanese factory racing trend that plagued the WRC in the late 80's and early 90's where there were only a hand full of exact street versions of the WRC cars produced to allow the company to race their car in international rally competition. For the record my father (a former street racer) who has recently changed his views on japanese cars (for the better) has been tutoring me on the intricacies of engines. we found that my car also came stock (and i use the term loosely) with super high compression pistons , bronzed rings, forged pistons and a high performance header.
its exact compressin ratio is a mistery but we can tell that it is roughly 13-1 (the new 2001 celica GTS is exactly 11.5-1) now this in and of itself generates a fair bit of kick. My cousin was mistaken now dont laugh but the only place i can find decent information on my car is from gt2 yes in know inaccurate but it contains a car that is for all intents an purposes a car that is exactly the same as mine (at least exteriorly) in the mazda protege GTX a four wheel drive japanese version with a turbo engine and 176hp now from that and the fact that mine has higher compression i checked out the mazda turbo used on that model and its relative horsepower gain and determined that my car had roughly 160HP (My cousin over guestimated at 170,sorry) it has a full rally suspension that holds firm at 140mph yes that is correct it has done that speed cheked for accuracy by my friend at college that has a gps speedo in his 96 talon tsi awd that CAN'T overtake me in the flatout (but it can kill me off the line). I used the weight scale at my local recycling depot, as we all do in St. Johns, says that it weights in at +or - 10 1979 pounds with a full tank of gas and us in it this equates out to 11.5 to 1 power ratio with us in it or a 10 to 1 with it empty (not much use without a driver) I have nothing against american cars (in fact im a true vette lover) but i have been able to bag everything up to a camaro Z28 or a 4.3 GT Mustang (my friends and not off the line , he kills me there) any way i just figured i mention the specifics of my car so as not to affend anyone or confuse. if anyone has any info that i haven't listed on my caar please help me out thanks for the site to post this on.:bloated:

That is really light, I have gotta look hard for one of those!

got 130mph out of my British spec Escort RS Turbo and about 120mph out of the mk1 fester you see below.

that japanese spec protege's turbo must not be very good.... that's not a big gain at all. If yours with no turbo is only 16hp less, the higher compression can't give you tooooo much more horsepower...
I guess that turbo must be very small :)

Did 155 mph on that same CBR600 F3 Sunday. My GOD i was aobut to shit my pants!! You cannot imagine what its like! The engine was pretty much redlined in sixth, but i couldnt hear it scream cause the freaking wind was so loud, even through the helmet! and it was sooo....fucking....COLD! But my god, That was sooo crazy, i can't believe i did 155 miles an hour on a motorcycle!!

I am not gonna forget this soon.

I want a crotch rocket.... they look like soo much fun :)

me too....maybe a Ducatti :)

Lets just say that Mazda really neutured the turbo'd cars. With 1500 bucks, 200hp is yours:)

I took my '94 Porsche 911 Turbo to 181 mph racing a '98 Corvette, I hit a small bump and the front end felt really light!. :) I haven't been over 150mph in any car since though.

I guess you probably beat the vette, right?

welcome to AF:)

I probably should of told the whole story originally, well here it is:

I has entering I75 at 4:00am heading North from Square Lake road and going about 75-80mph when I see the corvette coming up behind me fast, probably about 110mph. I drop the car into fourth and get on it hard, I am not sure if he accelarated harder at the time but he never got by me. He did get next to me before my car started pulling on him, In about 1 min I couldn't see him behind me anymore. About another minute later I hit a cement strip on the expressway, which normally wouldn't be a big deal but I felt the suspension go up, but didn't feel it come down! I looked down and saw I was going a little above 180mph on the speedometer, I imediately let off the gas and slowed down to about 75mph and got over into the right lane. In about 30 seconds the corvette flys by me probably about 150mph. I am not even sure he saw me as he went by.

I fly planes quite a bit and the only way I can explain the feeling I felt was when you first start to rotate on take off you pull back on the yoke and the air under the wings takes the weight off of the suspension and then after gaining a few more knots you pull back a little more and takeoff. I feel pretty sure I was real close to taking off and since then I haven't been over 150mph in any of my cars.

I want a Hayabusa!! those are crazy, they perform better than a mclaren. 0-60mph in high 2 seconds and 1/4 mile just under 10 seconds... STOCK :eek: :eek: :eek:

themarsman: got any pictures of your porsche, sounds like an amazing machine :D :D

Those bikes are bad ass. I don't think they cost very much either. What is their top speed? I bet it is something crazy like 200 mph.

Holy shit, man, that's a killer story. I hope to acquire some stories like that in the future. 'Course the fastest my car could go, given enough horsepower, would be 160 mph, as that's where it would redline in 5th gear.

yeah they're so sick
top speed is 201mph

i think they're under 20k american, that's a hell of a lot less than a mclaren, lol :D
must be the scariest shit ever on bike!

I did 128 in fourth gear at 7100 RPM in South Carolina. About two minutes later I got a $50 ticket for doing 68 in a 60, talk about luck?

I think I have probably have the slowest speed for the fastest I've gone out of all the people that posted on this topic. The fastest I've done is 70 mph, but my car's speedometer only goes up to 110.

The fastest I have done is 90 in my Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. The speedo goes to 115.

driven: 150 (+/- 1 or 2 give or take) mph (speedo indicated) in '93 NSX on IH635 near DFW airport

I am really jealous of you. The F50 is my dream car.

here's the sound file of one of the times we went out: http://www.nextestdrive.net/sounds/F50_2lap.mp3

from my site. There's also some other cool F50 sounds you might like then:

http://www.nextestdrive.net/sound.html

^_^ I still haven't put the video up of just the ride but there is some footage of it in the Ferrari day videos in the Video page.

an F50?!? how do you get these rides? there is a guy on another thread who got a ride in a Mclaren! Geeze...:)

i think the Hayabussa's are about 12K

now that's a good price to pay to beat a mclaren :D

Who said they got a ride in a mclaren?

The best sportscar i've driven around in was a Lamborghini Diablo.... or the Ferrari 360 Modena, whichever one you guys like better :) I don't dare compare them, hehe :D

Sure, its possible to get thta much acceleration out of a bike. But I dont think anyone here could do it. They are very hard to ride that fast. But they really are a better value. I'm still going to stick to 4 wheels, though:)

I don't know about anyone else, but I find this hard to believe.

1. A Protoge is not very aero dynamic and the spedo doesn't read up to 180.

2. Your car has a rev limiter so there is no way that you could go 180 because it would cut you off after 5500 RPMs or so. Unless you had that changed, in which your car would not be stock anyymore. Which by the way to go 180 at your HP rating you would have to be doing 9500 RPMs in which case your engine would explode.

3. 180 MPH is not enough to lift your car off the ground. That would take a hell of a lot more air than that to get it off the ground.

polygon, he has a '94 911 Turbo, not a Protege :rolleyes::)

oh, its Robert XR4x4 that got a ride in a McLaren. here (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&postid=94856#post94856) is the thread.

Do you even read before you post? Who said anything about a Protoge? I said I was driving a '94 Porsche 911 Turbo, I have sold the car and now own a '96 911 Twin Turbo along with a few others. So I guess the rest of you post doesn't make any sense either. Also if you don't believe 180mph isn't fast enough to cause a car to lift up, then you don't have a clue.

Holy shit, my bad. I could have sworn I saw Protoge in there. Man I am sorry bout' that.

Now a '94 Porsche 911 Turbo, that I can believe. And I stated that 180 MPH is not enough to lift a Protoge off the ground. But you weren't in a protoge. So it is pointless.

Sorry I didn't read that a little better, my fault.

Do you think I have too many cars? My wife sure thinks so! I am much better at buying them then selling them though. The Lexus is my wifes truck and the Hummer I keep up North at my cabin.

I am planning on selling the Bmw, Porsche, Westfield & Ferrari I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
