^ I can believe 150... I've seen 146 in 5th.

how may rpms were you turning in 5th?

beers :beer:

swoope. its a rx8.... theres no telling... theres vitually no redline its so high.

right i got it..

beers :beer:

i am calling bs on this whole top speed thing... it is drag limited.. and yes i can tell you what the top speed with my mods are.... and the rpms and gear it was in....

i can also tell you when the front end got light and when it settled down... with stock shocks and lower springs and d specs..

silverwolf.. your comment about the redline is just stupid...

btw, did you get an rx8 as of 10/18. not so much.

beers :beer:

Ah come on he was joking. :rofl:

Mine is NA and I have had it up to 150 up hill on a corner.. :lol:

A recent coat of wax helps with the drag and pulling the mirrors in. :bootyshak

It is possible in 5th, 6th without mods will not make it there tops around 148 mph.

The rpms in 5th are at redline at that speed. :Eyecrazy:

see you know the answers... but they dont.... the only hope they had was a 30 knot tail wind..

how many years to supercharge now?

beers :beer:

swoope man i gotta say i dont think that was called for... I know your a fan of the be nice rules. what happend? nothing wrong with a little comment. lighten up a bit.

you dont know me.... i am being nice....:)

and ca18detsilvia is the guy you should listen to...

beers :beer:

eh.

so you have an rx8 now?

i am a helpful guy. in moderation.. i give good pm and not so good with people hanging them selves

go figure..

beers :beer:

Swoope, I believe the rpms were around 9500 or so. Straight, open, empty road. Clear skies, no wind, early march. 70 degrees. Isn't fuel cut out at 9700? Right when I hit 145-146 everything got suddenly louder and I lost my nerve and backed it down. Can you get 6th gear that fast? I read somewhere the 6th will cut out over 6750 rpms or something. Power mods were rb intake w/ ram air and exhaust.

no thats not to say i have it. its always the little things that get in the way of the big picture. go figure its just as the history books said.
and what

dont get it...^^

yes,

t-run/8

you have most of it right... except for the rpm.... 6 gear is not for high speed runs...

beers :beer:

i guess you will figure it out.

beers :beer:

The fastest I have ever gone is in 5th gear at the rev limiter, on a small downhill slope, probably could have gone faster if I would have shifted to 6th seeing as it was downhill, and maybe if I hadn't had another person in the car. But I was at 156 mph without the pullies and flywheel.

I can hit 150 pretty easily now on flat ground, but the trouble is finding a long enough secluded stretch to go faster than that.

well,

guess that has it covered...

beers :beer:

Right now just short of 2 years unless something comes up that I can't pass on. Or I find a worm hole and a way to travel back in time to get everything done sooner. :angel:



:D: Driving east will get a faster speed.

Even though I don't think this thread should be where I post my first message...lol. I've hit 125 mph on stock Potenza's that were almost completely bald. Looking back on it, it wasn't the smartest thing I've done, but I had to open it up sometime right??

I have done almost 150 in third gear.


Oh you were talking mph ;-)
