Top Speed of Laser.

[1slowdsm]

I saw this guy at my school with a red N/T laser and I was talking to him for a little bit. He said that he topped his car out at 156, at first I didnt believe him because he had a N/T laser. I still dont believe him, but I'm not the smartest on top speeds at all. Is it possible to get to 156 on a N/T laser, because most of us will top out at a little over 140...right? I just had to get this out of the way....

I don't think that he is telling the truth, I have a decently modded turbo laser FWD and burrying the speedo was no big deal, and didn't take very long to hit 145+. But a N/T I just don't think it would have the horsepower to go over 130 or so. But who knows.

Thats what I was thinking when he told me that. I didnt want to be mean or anything, so I just acted like I believed him.

[SuperSleeper]

Most people who brag about what they did in their NT Laser are full of shit. I believe the turbos top out at 147, and I don't imagine the NTs top out higher.

[1slowdsm]

maybe his speedometer was broken and reading like 15 miles ahead...haha

[TheBlizzard]

I think the turboed lasers can go faster than 147?

My car cant even reach 145!

you'd have to find out what the gear ratios in the nt are. I know in my fwd I can do 140MPH in 4th gear and im shure alot more in 5th but I have a little more power then a NT

With the auto tranny it might be possible...long downhill straight and some mods.

I hit 140mph on Elites dyno in my 4th gear pulls on my old laser but it was a turbo.
Fastest 5th gear run I ever had was 138-9ish with plenty more room to run. Didn't want to shift out of overdrive to smoke that Vette.

But yeah, it's probably BS
