160, 180 on the dyno (with no wind resistance). i always thought the 8 had a governer. not even the 04's? this is good to know (i think). my 92 240sx had a gas cut off at 115+- i have been up to 121 in my car.

The new meet location makes it the LAX/SMO meet (Scroll out on the map and it's almost half way between LAX and Santa Monica Airport.)

So it was a no go from the other places Rodger?

do our cars really go that fast? don't most governors apply for vehicles that can top 160mph? not sure, but think thats what i've seen mostly on car mags for european imports such as BMW's. they gov' at 155 no?

and why are auto's always seem like the car of the 2 that always seem to have the short end of the stick when it comes to top speed?

for piston cars, this can be mostly due to cam profiles- lift/duration, but then again, i may be answering my own question... is it that way with da rotary? 4 port to 6 port.

and perhaps you should consider putting this on the first page... you know, where it's supposed to be.
