Whats the fastest uve taken your ltx?

[Cyanydem28]

how fast have you gone in your car?

[Grr]

175, ran out of road or i would have went higher

[Cyanydem28]

i topd out my 95 z back in 06 at 150, it was still climbing, but i was really drunk and decided to stop, yea i got a dui a couple weeks after, i know i know its stupid, u dont have to tell me

[Cyanydem28]

175, ran out of road or i would have went higher


damn foo

[96lt1m6]

fastest my bullet has gone is 165 via GPS wanted to shift into 6th but hesitated so i lifted,not like it was able to go any faster.....definate RUSH!!:hail:

[96LT1355Z28]

130 when it was stock, I had the car for about a week still had 6th to use. 130 feels fast as hell with the tops out and windows down. I was running out of road and honestly was afraid of seeing a deer walk out in front of me, if you've driven through Missouri at night you understand! Frankly top speed scares me, it the accereration of drag racing that I like, call me weird.:D

[PHINES LT1]

just under 130. about as fast as it will go. 4.10s arent exactly ideal for topend, neither is not having a front swaybar hooked up.

[bidicamaro]

not having a front swaybar hooked up.

HOLY $#!t.... Why not?

[BLOWNDFIZ]

128 in a 1/4 mile at IRP. Yeah it's got a hell of a lot more left, but for me it's the acceleration that trumps top end.

[LT1RUNNER]

I'd have to say about 125 racing a Corvette down the freeway. When I first got the car about 8 years ago. Doubt I'll do that again.

[Fastbird]

Buried the needle and a bit more on my old 93 when it was a bolt-on car.

[Z28pr0jekt]

150+... not too sure as my speedo only goes to 115... 3rd gear pegs the speedo 4th goes to around 145 (I know from a buddy who I ran)

Ran into a late 90s crotch rocket (no idea what it was, old 600 at most) a couple summers ago before the cam... took the car almost to the limiter in 5th... so I have no idea how fast that was

[Camaro_94]

The fastest I've ever got my Formula up to was 135.

LTx Car? ~70 in Neil350s T/A. LTx truck?....

The first couple weekends my motor was broken in, I took it out for some highway runs with some friends. The first night, I (and 2 others) got caught at a light when they got on the highway. We cranked it to ~90 for a couple miles and had no sight of the others, then we were passing town, and getting to 3lane highway west of Houston. I buried the pedal and held on... don't remember how high I ran it that time. Came up on some 18wheelers, so I lifted and hit the brakes... still passed them like they were standing still... called a friend in the lead group (he said no cops)... and then I layed into it again. I topped out 3rd, and ran 4th for awhile.

BTW, no speedometer, So, research here I come....
Tire diameter = 25.6
shift from 3rd to 4th = 6000rpm
3rd gear = 1.1
Rearend = 2.73
gearing calculator says....
I went INTO 4th at 167mph... and I stayed in it for awhile after that, but wasn't too interested in staring at the tach (it's under the dash)

I caught them as they were exiting, we had coffee, and I walked a mustang or 2 on the way back to Houston.:metal: Since there were other cars around, I didn't even look at the tach... just lifted a little after they did. :)

Surprisingly, for being a truck, it tracked straight as can be, and felt solid. I didn't feel out of control at any point. I only assume the cowl hood was venting the pressure from the front end.

[Infamous Z]

fastest for me was 145 or so racing a 00 crotch rocket lost lol but good race

[chevy42083]

Oh yeah, for those of you like me who have a tach, but the speedo just doesn't go high enough...

[97Z28]

Some of you guys are crazy. I let off at 125 after deciding it wasn't worth a speeding ticket, haha.

[AChotrod]

This car 135ish
my old 97 170+ got up to around 150ish then hit the go juice!! Just got so fast it was scary so I slowed down! Car felt pretty solid though!!

[chevy42083]

At one of the local meets I was talking to a friend who told me, "You are the only guy I know that runs out of balls before gear.... and has a GOOD reason for it." :D

His blazer with 4.10s is wrapped out before 130, and he calls that a safety to keep him in check.

I won't do it on the street anymore... had too much time to think about it lol. I will be running in the www.texasmile.com (http://www.texasmile.com) some time. It's a standing start, 1mile top speed run. I want a certificate that verifies how fast I go... cause no one believes me now :confused:

[richardson]

125-130ish before gears.

I haven't done much racing lately, and my speedo is still off since the 4.10's, but I ignored the bad DS vibration for a little bit lol and hit 5K rpms in 5th racing

that's probably not that fast at all with 4.10's, anybody know?

[CamaroZGuy]

GPS 155mph with some RPM's to go, but 120-130 on a daily basis to and from work! got to love the Autobahn!!!!

[KissMyWhtSS]

Current car... ~102 at the track.
Previous car... ~110 on the interstate.

Anything more is stupid. I have respect for my self as well as other people's lives.

[HoLLo]

Damn. you're lucky. :hail: I would love to drive on the Autobahn sometime. It'd be nice if we had something like it, but too many damn kids would be fucking it up

I've only hit like 135-140ish. haven't pushed it any higher yet

thats awesome:metal:

[will]

115 on crappy tires. I let up when it started shaking.

[Tyler Wheat]

I went and made sure mine would do the speedo a few weeks after I got it. I think I've only had it that fast 2 other times. I'll usually won't take it much over 120 anymore.

[richardson]

that second vid is pretty awesome lol

[LT1Blackbird]

150 on the turnpike at about 1am. 4 months after I got the car.

[Brandon]

I went just past the 150 mark on the speedo once. It was kinda scary though, so I only did it the one time.

[elitecamaro94]

I had mine around 135 one time racing my buddies 91 z28 down the freeway pretty good times, i dont really do top end anymore.

[TCGiRL220]

149 and I chickened out

[YZF]

To the top of my 5th gear... so maybe 125.... while STREET RACING.

Sue me :(

[CamaroZGuy]

well today driving home i tryed to push it to see what i could get for top speed and i found out my trans is going out!!!! at WOT it WILL NOT shift in to 4th!!!!!! (which is about 120ish) i got let off a bit to get it to pop in to 4th but then if i go WOT again it will drop back down to 3ed...IDK maybe its suppose to do that since 4th is just OD but its quite strange....
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p80/TowShen/SDC10220-1.jpg

[chevy42083]

Pretty sure it's supposed to do that. I know most do atleast. You should be able to give it part throttle and keep accelerating in 4th.

[Cyanydem28]

149 and I chickened out


the next danica patrick

[YZF]

The tranny will not hold OD if WOT. Its just common sense. Unless you somehow get it to the top of 4th to where there is no chance of it even dropping into the correct rpm range...

[KissMyWhtSS]

Autos shift into OD at ~135, and yes... they'll keep pulling.

[Cyanydem28]

ya i buried the needle with an a4, its possible

[CamaroZGuy]

Pretty sure it's supposed to do that. I know most do atleast. You should be able to give it part throttle and keep accelerating in 4th.

ya if i keep it at like 75% it will pull through 4th. i just thought that it should hold at WOT and not try to kick down to 3ed at 130+

[CamaroZGuy]

Autos shift into OD at ~135, and yes... they'll keep pulling.

oh ya, but i still think i got some issues starting to form since the trans has 170,000miles on it

[bricez28]

damn you and your autobahn^^^^

[Fire67]

I'd have to say 170mph (gps) catching and passing a GSXR 1000. (The busa looked like a red star on the horizon at that point, lol)That was before the 383, suspension, TH400, etc. Had the Procharger though. The TA has only seen the interstate on a trailer since.

The DD, my SS has been to 150mph according to the speedo.

[KissMyWhtSS]

I want boost.

[Fixxer99TA]

I broke the sound barrier....... once.......

In all honesty, had my old black T/A a little over 160-165 (who knows, gauge pegged..)

Havent tried in the Hawk, but I cant imagine it being anywhere near the 160-170 mark with the 3.73s....

[Fire67]

3.42's and a T56 worked beautiful for me.

[lethal93ta]

185 on GPS, stock engine stock rear 3.23 gears, stock 4L60 trans and a lot of boost. the new set up should max out around 140 but it will get there a hell of a lot faster.

[bricez28]

i wanna go fast and boost all over myself.

[LT1 POWAH]

Just over 120 with my girlfriends mom in the car for her first ride. She said she didn't think I would be able scare her, proved that wrong. When I got back, my girlfriends dad was really jealous haha.

[fuels94]

I really dont know for sure but the speedo was buried to the bottom right

[Cyanydem28]

lets use sarah fisher instead ;) cause danica patrick is a slut


HAH well i have no idea who sarah fisher is but okkk, the next sarah fisher.

[95z28man]

I've been to 135 with bolt-ons on the highway. 115 with the 383 on back roads, I need to get on an empty highway with my new power.

[97lt1camaro]

145 or so with my Camaro. The t tops were howlin pretty good, so i decided to stop. lol

[rebuilt]

Around 5mph. We were pulling it down the street with a riding mower after I cleaned the chassie. :jest:

[The SRZ]

A63 in 06' between Sembach AB and Darmstadt w/ the help of Polizei trying to break the 200mph barrier and came 2mph short of it as we ran out of straight road on the autobahn. :D I miss those days...now I'd be good to break 90mph anywhere w/out it be illegal in the states. :(

who did you get the Polizei to help you???

[The SRZ]

Towshen,

Certain times of the year the autobahn is closed off on Sundays for riding bicycles only. Every once in a blue moon though they'll close it off for a sanctioned event like they do w/ the rally cars. Well a close friend of mine who knew the Polizei involved in the events hooked us up after the rally. You really have to have inside connections over there because A LOT of stuff isn't advertised. You have to be in the right circles...I'm telling you it's a WHOLE 'NOTHA world if you are connected right.

[Skillet]

110ish is all I've seen in my Impala. I did have 4 passengers though. It was still pulling nicely and didn't feel strained. I was just proving a point.
