well, seeing as it was incredibly hot here and I couldn't sleep, I took the Cobalt down to the Putnam Flats and opened it up til there wasn't no more... Speedo goes to 160mph, I was tickling 155 at around 5*** RPM's.

No doubt. I got my 1989 nissan sentra up to 120 once, it involved about three miles of open highway and remembering to turn off the A/C!

hehehe... awesome. truly awesome. I hit 115 mph in my Mom's Caravan when I was 17. It vibrated so much the ashtray kept opening itself.

There was a guy who fixed that problem by somehow changing how the ashtray locks into the console...looked overkill to be because why would you need the ashtray at that speed.

I can't imagine seeing that in aftermarket ads "high performance titanium ashtray, hydraulic lifters for high performance Caravans". Or "quick disconnect ashtray guard for high output applications".

I'd fire up a smoke going that speed, but I'm really against ash tray usage, they stink;

Yeah, mine was filled with coins. It made a fucking mess.

I also hit 95 mph in a Renault 5 Le Car, going downhill with a very strong tailwind.

NOT THE LECAR!

I got pulled over in my heavily modded Samurai with 32 inch tires and this joker of a sherrif says "I clocked you doing 95". I busted a gut laughing and said "you take this crate up to 95 and I'll give you fifty bucks!" Needless to say he saw that he had a radar problem and didnt take me up on my offer.

Even if the veicle COULD do 95, I had just pulled onto the highway, 45 mph max.

But then I did have the carbon fiber ashtray mod.

Thats because your car was designed for high speed drinking and smoking

i do about 110 on my way to work every morning in my 2000 Jeep TJ on the highway, i've gotten used to the shakes of the vehicle. but, the hood keeps jumping up and down because of the airforce, and it freaks me out a bit ;)

"600 horsepower man, nitrous, phase four heads... the bitch is born to run! "

Your top patrolman wants to quite the force and we have to seduce him with CANDY?

That scene in the garage gives me the chills bro, even the closeup of the fake Weiand blower is well done and makes you want to go out and drive fast and take out random bikers.

Sorry to get off topic here, but because I'm a real Mad Max asshole, but cannot afford a import vintage Aussie Falcon, my 91 project trooper with the GM ll2 v6 is going to receive the "yellow" pursuit car paint scheme in addition to off road mods. So what the MFP had no cars. It will look cool with "Pursuit" painted across the back. I even asked INA about the legality of blue bubble gum flashers on top, and he filled me in.

This thing isn't going to breathe fire but it will have a great low gear ratio when I'm done and will draw some attention.

Samurai, PM me if you will, with this engine, what is the most common cause of stumble off idle? I don't think ignition, only happens in the first 1/8th of throttle, then it takes off. I checked all the vac tubes, but the ECM seems to hunt all over for the proper idle and stalls when it feels like it.
