3000GT Top Speed........

i dont think he means 200 stock, he's saying modded.

stock is what i meant

I have a 91 sl atx and I got thrown in jail for doing 144 on I-35 going to Austin from San Antonio. Not the smartest thing I've ever done and I'll never do it again *cough* *cough*

No no, not stock. You need to be making a decent amount of power to hit those speeds. I figured that you meant stock though.

on the suject of topspeed anybody know what it is for the MR?
also rought guestamint around 500hp to the wheels what speed you think that would put you at?

The MR(or any Jspec TT for that matter) would have a lower top speed due to the shorter gearing. I am not sure how much shorter 6th is for the Jspecs though.

As far as power to go a certain speed. To hit 200mph you will need 500+hp

Another fun fact it takes about 3.5 times more power to go 150mph as it does to go 100mph.

Hey Morpheus, where you from in Texas? And was that picture of your car taken around Concan?

[Morphius289]

I live in Austin. The picture was taken at Bull Creek. It was a pain in the ass to get the car down there though. Even though the ground looks flat in that picture, there were huge bumps all over. Not too much fun

[talskinyguy]

The MR and GTO top speeds are the same, and Im sure they are very close to the top speed of the 3000GT. Not counted computer limited top speeds.

USDM and JDM have a different final drive ratio, but the top speed is about the same. The only thing gearing has to do with top speed is placement in the powerband.

The pic looks good though Morphius

I agree on the carful part, I think I've learnt alot from my T-Ram days, cops aren't linient when it comes to that.

I'll check again, I want to find out before I sell it, but 165mph stock, wow, guess I will not be missing the SL anytime soon, maybe when it comes to repairs and Ins. but thatnk's guys, I was worried a bit. But damn the thing is actually very quick to 60mph if you ask me, I hit 60mph in second when I hit the power button, but for some reason, third gear looses that OOmph until about 4000RPM, then again picks up. Don't know what the 0-60 time is, but I'm willing to bet it might be able to keep up with a GT Stang.

I'm drooling now thinking of that VR-4, they need to hurry up and send me that damn title!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If 6th is shorter in GTO's though, then the gear limiting will change.

Ya you should deff try again. I got my 95 SL ATX up to 145mph. i dont think it could do much more tho.
