90 MPH in the truck.......o yeah! :woowoo: I dont think its supposed to be fast in the first place. Plus its still my Dad's

95tsi 05-23-2004 06:53 PM

I think around 135 or so, not really too sure.

Goat Blower 05-24-2004 02:35 PM

Only a measly 137 mph in my 84 Trans Am in 1991. Of course I did this with four guys in the car almost the entire length of Park Point in Duluth at 1am with a few cocktails under my belt. Not very smart of me.

Also did 118 mph in my CRX on the way to Brainerd. Held this speed for almost 20 minutes straight. That car was a real dog.

I'm looking forward to trying a run on 610 this year. Theoretical top speed is 192 mph in 5th gear at 8500 rpms with enough room to do so. And yes, I have the power to push through the aerodynamic restriction to do it. Having the balls might be another question though.

Steve the day you decide to try for the 192mph run. Let us know. I'm sure about 20-30 of us would be there ready to help (ie: Film, 2 way radio's, Cell phones, stretched a long the highway for about 5-6 miles if need be.

140 in the talon, 130 in the 98 V70R, and a whopping 98 in our 88 Volvo 740 (true top speed, it was aerodynamically limited)

A lightly modded 3/S twin turbo will max out at about 165mph. Can't exactly tell what Josh's avatar shows, but I know its in kph and not mph. Looks good though. ;)

And yes, I have personal experience at the 165mph thing. And its ballzy. :rally:

im suprised the 740 acually made it to that, those things are bricks, and have very very little power...unless it was a turbo, then i belive it, but still....woud be scary.

98's shouldnt be limited...havent ever had a chance to try one out thou...

gauge indicated '172mph' approx 5800-5900rpm in 5th, and she felt like she had more :). Maybe I just stayed in it long enough.
HAHA! james youve been faster in my car than yours!
I just love how solid the tt's are above 140 :).

gmort 05-26-2004 03:22 PM

I had to back off on the talon and the V70R because I was running out of decent road, but I held the 740 at 98mph for about three miles at full throttle and I didn't get a hair above that. For the record, the 740 had about 230,000 miles on it at the time, and it only had 114hp when new.
