Based on your car's aerodynamics and the times listed in your signature,
I have a feeling your GPS is a little optimistic.
Street cars that can do 200mph are usually at least in the 120mph range in the quarter and faster.

Not G bodies and definitely not an A body. It would likely take over 700hp and you would need to find a way to stop the air from getting under the car. The Chevelle in his sig would likely top out in the 150-160mph range.

Brian,

I agree, we have a couple Corvettes and a Supra that have seen the
200mph. Not with me in the car, (thank God).

We rolled a 155 speedo in OD on a 4th gen Camaro with a 150 shot.
That was as fast as I need to go on the street.

We wound out 3rd with the TT stage 2 car on the freeway.
I have no idea how fast we were going since I concentrating
on looking at the MoTeC numbers, EGT and not soiling the seat...

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

just messing around guys

Actually i switched screens on the GPS and it must have "clitched"
and when i went back to the Dash board screen it just shot up to 210 MPH So i figuered that i could generate a few colorful responses from you guys but, NONE of you took the bait.

BTW the Chevelle starts to loose weight at around 75-80 and gets REAL light after about 95. its definitely not slicing through the air

Ive been over 160mph in my black car when i was really crazy. Took about 15 sec of WOT in 4th to get there. The car had about 550hp at the flywheel back then. Probably had enough to go 170+ but i wasnt feeling to comfortable at that speed.

The owners manual advises not to go WOT longer than 15-20 sec.... so you were ok.... lol...

LOL did the same thing..... and my bumper fillers did not like going that fast either took the next exit and met up with my buddy I was racing on his bike he looks at me and said your front fillers fell apart :frown:


Dont really care to do that again also went threw alot of alky to get going that fast well lol

I've pulled 6100+ RPM LU in 3rd with 28" tall tires in my 87 GN. That was fast enough for me and the car was more stable than I expected but not enough to push it into 4th and see it peg the 160 MPH speedometer.
