I would love to hear what you have done to your car to get it to top out at 171!

With my gearing I should top out at 170

Because of my limiter I stop at 120

DAMN YOU FORD!

i agree...
what did you do to get 171 top speed?

and how did you prove it?

those cars stock will maybe go 150... 171 is outta the question without mods...

consider the thread below before you reply...

171?? Right, like they all said...What the hell kind of mods do you have? I'd be surprised if I see a turbo Eclipse reach even 150mph personally.

don't forget the laptop to run that stuff...

he probably talked to harry after he read my post...

i dunno though, this kid's probably a novice lead foot... and novice drivers don't use naws...
even if he does get two bottles, the big ones... tonight...

What exactly did you do to the clutch?
Did you get out of the car at 100+ mph and work on it to reach 171 mph?
1 min. to reach 171 mph, what speed is that from. A dead stop?

I am sorry I seriously doubt you can tell me anything to make me believe you on this! I think 171 mph is a number you just pulled out of your head.

Just curious how you knew you where going that fast? The speedometers dont go that high do they? Go back it up with a radar reading or GPS reading. Just a bit suprised you didnt flip into the air at that speed.

Yeah.. with your gearing and about 500hp maybe 170mph...

not 240hp... 140mph max... I say.


Gotta remember after about 90mph aerodynamics become your biggest enemy along with weight... the Bird although 'sleek' to an extent... its just a brick through air compared to something a bit sportier...

And... lets see some proof of this 170mph GSX... also.. what do you run in the quarter. If its something stupidly low i'd like to know how you can manage Low Et AND high speeds...

So what exactly does etc mean??? Built engine, intercooler, new fuel management system??? I know that the 18g turbo cannot produce enough boost to provide the power to bring a GSX eclipse to 171 mph. Also... Can you please explain what you did to the clutch to make it go 171? I'd like to know too... And did it take 1 minute to hit 171 from 170?? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA



You also wrote this....

Quote:
I got my GSX to go up to 137 mph
Was that before the mods you posted??? So you're trying to convince us that those mods you posted gave you a 34mph boost????? Wow....



How about you just apologize for all this bull shit and tell us what you really drive... Or that you're too young to even obtain a learner's permit.

this is funny stuff...
considering the gearing in the car, you'd have to have a pretty built motor to hit that kind of speed with the aerodynamics you've got..

and considering the people i know with dsm's around here, you'll need 300+hp...

interesting that you mention the turbo timer as a mod. it's not.

no mention of exh... no mention of a changed rev limit. no mention of built motor. no fmic. hmm...

once you've got those things, like the rebuilt motor and fmic and a bigger than 18g turbo (like a t3/t4 setup or a 20g) and some more electronics in there... then you'll need that "clutch" you've got...

no downpipe mentioned, no suspension upgrades mentioned... no fueling upgrade mentioned...

to pull that kind of number out and say you went that fast, and then list what amounts to nothing for mods...

give us the full list... or admit you're lying...

This post goes to show that people don't think logicaly before just blerting out some nonsense - 171 mph in this make believe car = nonsense

i also worked on the clutch too get it to go 171, it took me almost 1 minute to get to 171! = nonsense also

HELL the whole thing = nonsense:hehehe: :hehehe:
