Re: GSX Top speed!!!?

Where are you going to drive it that fast? The GST is limited to 130 and I know the GSX is faster (no limiter) so I don't really see this as being a factor unless you're going to be running down an Enzo. And going even that fast you're going to flip or wreck. And tell your friend he sux.

I will say this once, READ THE FAQ before asking questions, and search the forum. I know this has been covered more than once.

The GSX is fast as hell. You don't need to go faster than 130 mph.

the 4g63 has handled over 500hp on the stock block. you won't need more than about 350-400hp on the street to smoke 80% of the cars.

yes and by now most of us have come to the conclusion that it's stupid and dangerous.

very easily...with a few thousand dollars (around $1500-2000) you'll be doing 11's or 12's.

he's right, this is a deal of a lifetime..gsx's are becoming harder and harder to come by and just the fact that you got a 99 is that much sweeter. if you don't get the car now, you'll be wishing you would have when you had the chance.

Re: GSX Top speed!!!?

Seriously, your retarted. I don't think a street race goes to +130.
