115 in my lifted 99 dodge ram. Almost hit a deer. It was on this back country road by my house. Pretty scary at 115, cant imagine faster than that

I love the Pantera's the engines are great the styling is mad and it's Italian what more do you want.
I have my own piece of Italian madness in my avatar. Nothing as exotic as a De Tomaso but I like it.
We use GPS over here to work out top speeds. It was according to that, that I got the speed for the GTR at the weekend.
Just 90
ya, gps works really well too.
It's meant to be accurate to .1 of a mph up to mach 1 or something like that anyway.
About 150 mph in a car and about the same on my bike. I won't do it again
Ya but at least going quick in a car on a racetrack the surface generally stays the same where as well the sea doesn't lol.
130ish on a gixer... got scared and slowed down bike could've done 150
140 in my old G35, it got real light and loose and i got scared like a little bitch.
140ish in a Porsche C4 Conv. with the top up.
I topped my Huffy out at 35mph once. It was an amazing rush. You should have seen the hill.![]()
My boys probe got me up to 160mph a few nights ago n we still lost the race to a guy n a 08 mazdaspeed3 it was ****ing NUTS
Them Mazda 3's have 2.3 Turbo engines with 265bhp can be reampped to a good bit more![]()

that's weird, my g35 is stable as can be all the way up. corners like a dream even in triple digits.
what did you have in that probe, a ford 351? wait wait, did you launch it from a cannon? i wouldn't think the wheels would stay on a probe past 85mph. lol![]()
GSXR going 150. At that speed you can hardly feel the ground which freaked me out a bit.
p.s
I would never speed in a car as i feel i have more control on a bike, odd i know.
I had a eagle talon AWD turbo and use to street race. People would always ask me how fast i ever got it and i use to shrug it off cause i was always a 1/4 mile guy and more interested in quickness over speed. Well one day i took her out late and floored it on the highway. For some reason it just freaked me out and i backed off. One for safety and another for fear of cops. Don't know what it is but when i am on a bike i feel 100% in control which can be a bad thing, on comes the wheelies !
but im sure the type of car plays a huge part.
Was it running standard suspension?? What 1/4 mile times where you getting auto or manual??
At high speed in a car you don't want to jerk anything or doing anything quickly like steering or coming off the accelerator etc. But I presume you know that with your racing experince. The 170 was in England and where you can't be done cos we had Irish licences bahahaha![]()
Yes , standard susp. I never taken it to the track just street. I regret not doing it. That little 4 banger was the dream car of my life. I have taken many of V8's with it. The look on their face was priceless.
Off top of my head had (years ago):
3' straight through exhaust (no cat) with dump tube, upgraded BIG 16G turbo, 550 injectors, upgraded FP, piggy back fuel system, K&N, plugs, wires, normally running 20-23 PSI.
Taking off at the line would give you whiplash. While the big V8's are spinning at the line i am half way down the street
Ill try and find pics of her
