149 bone stock

 

Yeah, I wouldn't do it, but it does show the lack of a governor, which is why I posted it.

 

i myself have hit fairly close to 10000 rpms when i hit the fuel cut off...i havent tried to hit it since i like the 8500 rpm shift range :-)

 

189...????

 

lucky

 

One of my friends topped out 5th gear on my car, I think it was like 142?ish. 189 is the theoretical top speed.

 

Ive done 175 in 5th ( T56 Tranny) and in my case, my car is ***** Govenrned. There is so much more to go. Its just not my thing..

 

i myself have hit 144 without topping out, it wasnt a long enough straight. im sure i coulda pushed a lil more outta it 150 seems acheivable. and i wish life was theory 189 would be a nice top speed

 

Damn.. Where do you guys test this? Most I've gotten my 8 up to is 117.. lol..

I shall try more soon.. Just keep reading the newspapers.. Might see a VR 8 turned over somewhere.

 

Not worth it!

 

Not sure about the NA cars but the 6MT's over here in Asia do not have any speed limiters/governers.

I've hit 252 km/h in 6th which equates to roughly 156mph.

Not going to do it again anytime soon though

 

best places to do it is a track if you can find one or an abandoned airfield. btw i have a 6mt so no governor for me. but the density of the air and the way your engine combusts it to make an explosion will be different pretty much wherever you drive whether its at sea level above or below. wherever you drive be safe, i know from experience ive done some dumb things and im only 20...

 

200 mph the fastest thang on earth. lmao what a stupid post

 

.......? im not following you

 

Confused, I am...

 

i am as well, btw why are you getting rid of that beautiful 8??

 

Fuel cutoff is a dead solid 9,000 rpms (unless you have flash with a different setting)... 9,000 rpms just looks like 9300 rpms on the tach because the tach lies

 

I thought fuel cut-off is 9,500 rpm's, mine goes to 9,500 or close to it daily!

 

did i not just say the actual rpm's do not match the tach???

 

On a 16 mile straight track.

 

I have an 04 manual and it tops out in 5th at about 135 and I have hit 150 exactally and it is n\a

 

Haha, yeah. My 8 has seen 110, then I let off cause that's a scary *** speed!

 

5th gear tops out at 147.

Are you sure you are not thinking of 4th gear??

 

so with the automatics i keep hearing some are governed and some arent.. does anyone know for a fact which ones are, or if they all are? I have an 04 auto. Ill most likely be going out to the salt flats this year (about an hour away from me) to test but id like to know in advance what to expect

 

You lucky bastard.

Nothing around here but dirt tracks
