Spin off: fastest you have ever been in a car on public roadways.

91 pump gas tune with the large pully.
Ah 91 be hurtin. We're relegated to 91 here too and I know I lose a lot of timing vs a 93 tune or ethanol. Just going to 93 would put me around 11.9-12 flat in the quarter. Once our house is built this fall I will be doing pulleys on mine if I dont trade it in for a V8.
 
i have 93 in most of the stations around me, but if i keep driving it as my daily i will call this good. well i want to remover the kittens and add a 3" cut out that opens at 5 or so pounds of boost.

Man I'd jump on that. So much more power in it haha. My kittens will find themselves gone soon enough. I have replacement pipes already, its just a serious chore to pull them. They're located so close to the engine that the exhaust will literally melt the material right out of them once you add a pulley.
 
My new personal best.

Beautiful car. That was exactly what i figured it was. That color gave it away to me it is one of my favorite it is :smokin:. Also I was looking at the back of the hood scoop but the angle of the pic got me. Need more sleep. Anyway if you Want to be rid of that money pit i got tree 50:flipoff2:
 
Close to 160 in an early 70’s model camaro. 396 big block if I remember correctly. It was not made to go that fast. I would have walked home if they would have let me out.

I changed tuners and dropped almost .3 off my 1/4 mile time, no hardware changes. I ALMOST ordered the pulleys last week, but decided to save the money for my upcoming vacation. After that...its on. Car will run a 12 flat now on 91, 3.8 0-60 consistently.
 
or he was riding with an idiot.
Wasnt but 18 at the time, didnt have a wife. I was riding with an idiot. Driver probably should have died several different times. Wore a beard to hide the windshield scars from a wreck he had years earlier. He woke up laying on the hood of his truck. Drag racing on the city streets. Broadsided a datsun car at an intersection. He said he was winning the race. Lol
 
Means we were going way to fast for that car. I was in the back seat hoping that fool would slow down. Knew we would not make the next curve at that speed. Damn thing was wandering all over the road. Steering wheel was going from 10:00-2:00 trying to keep it straight.
Gotcha, makes sense now. Didnt know you were a passenger princess. :flipoff2:
 
As a passenger, indicated 140 in a '75 280Z.

Had my '74 bug's speedo topped out once ( 100mph) that was scary as fuck..:lmao:

Was going down I5 to Woodburn drags in my '77 2wd C10, tried passing my buddy in his '65 C20 that was pulling his race car...hit 105 and the fucker pulled away :laughing:

That was 25+ years ago...80 feels fast now :homer:

A massaged '76 280z with a '82 maxima 5spd just outside of knoxville on I40. Bumped 145 (according the the speedometer) and the front end was getting real light. It's all I had the nerve for and it was pretty much topped out anyway. A dodge Dayton turbo stayed with me to about 130 before he backed off. 😁
 
145 mph Mercedes 550

Curious, what year? And is yours tuned?...
