i don't know about the wind, but that road is flat as can be. and even so, 146 is damn fast.

yeah when pigs fly it tops off at about 130 to 135 mph then the fuel cut off kicks in so there in no way yopu hit 146 with no mods or even any help (gravity / wind)

actually the car doesn't have a governor...nice try

the ONLY speed limiting factors are:
1) drag
2) redline in the top gear (only if you have enough power to reach it)


if you are going with the wind it would be very easy to hit 145mph, the SE is drag limited at around 128, and the spec is drag limited at around 135 I believe. Add in a 10mph tail wind and you got yourself 145mph

Are your cars modified? I can only reach 130mph with my car and it takes forever to get up there. Only mod is an intake. If you have smaller diameter tires though, the numbers are totally off at that speed.

i don't know about the newer sentra's, but i used to have an 88 and it was a pile. god damn thing never did idle right, and i could barely get the piece a shit to do 90! Once it hit 65 it was slow as hell, but the fucker turned on a dime though.

I had an '89 hatchback when I was 16. Really fun car back then, but it was probably slow as hell. I did manage to do 105mph in it, before the rev limiter stopped me.

How old were you when you had it? Slow cars feel fast when you just learn to drive ya know, so that may be the whole reason why it felt fast. But, I really did do 106 a few times. It burned and leaked oil like crazy, though.

thats suprising

My dad bought a 87 Sentra Hatchback new and it ran like crap constantly. I dont know how he got 50 k miles on it in 13 years. He finnaly junked it because it had so many problems. The fastest he ever topped out was 75 mph when it was new and the whole entire car was shaken when he got it to 70.
