Read one artical about the Z32TT where they were doing a top speed test of it and a few other cars, and the Z32TT got up to 165.0...no one could figure out how or why it got 10 mph over the limiter.

Re: 1/4 time on 2+2

That sounds about right, speed wise. As for the spark plug...could have been something with your fuel mix...that's about the only thing I can think of...and even that doesn't seem too likely...

ok guys. i finally got some substantial proof that your n/a is faster than 15.9. either that or there alot of cars on this site that are a lot slower than what they say. a buddy of mine has a 98 oldsmobile intrigue. according to this siite he is supposed to be running a 15.8. ok i have a 90 2+2 automatic which they say should run 15.9 (the 15.9 is could even be for a 5-speed which means they are sayin my car is even slower than 15.9)

anyways we were about dead even till i hit second gear. i hit second gear and i massacred hid car. i ended up atleast 7-8 car lengths ahead of him before the quarter mile was over.

i know the speed limiter is set at 155 but in the 2+2 it would take foever to get to that.....it took me long enough to get to 148...after that i slowed down....either way 140 is fast in a na car that is more than 10 yrs old
