Top End

[TalonEclipseMixGsx]

First off, if you want top end, then go for cams. I know I always say it, but the only thing that I found to make more of a difference in power is a bigger turbo.
I know what you're saying. I don't hardly ever race my car, but I'd like to know that I can whoop up on an everyday normal v8 in the 1/4 if I wanted to. I think quickness is what you need to go for not speed. Quickness thrills, speed kills. Be sure to see my next public service announcement on pbs tomorrow at 9.

that is not true. I went 145 with my 95 rs with a cold air intake and exhaust lowering springs and that is all. with 2 fat girls inthe back seat in my younger days of doing things that i shouldn't have done

Damn, i would love to go that fast once in my life

[TalonEclipseMixGsx]

That had to include a 20* night, a bottle of tequila, and a serious down hill slope.

It's doable. But just takes a while to get there. The fat chicks I have a hard time believing. But it's doable. Again... why would you want to?

THe fastest I hit was 135 with the NA motor.

Hard to argue with somebody who willingly admits they had not 1, but 2 fat chicks in their ride. I pitty your soul...

Well fat chicks usually have fine friends, so I wont question the motive. But seriously, 2 200lb chicken heads and ill guess the driver was around 160. Thats alot of weight to be pushing 145mph on a straight, level road.

[rickyrickster25]

I guess i just want to know what it feels like to be going that fast with your ass almost skidding the ground, lol

Highest i have ever hit with the 420A is 125mph on a flat, straight-away

Well it was fun at the time but yes there were two which i think that they were keeping the back of the car on the ground so im happy that they were there. Yes i do weigh like 155 so it did take a while though. And when you are moving that fast everything else looks like its standing still. would i do it again probally not since i have learned how lucky i was not to have slid at that speed.

Ps. street racing is bad! I don't do it but once in a great while on a clear highway if the other car is worth the time..
