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:

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

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: |

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 ;-) |
