MN Watch Out For Da Cops

101mph in 5th in a BONE STOCK 84 GS 12a, nothing done to it yet.

Hit 100mph with it for about 5 seconds the first time just to get her there, passed a Suburban that was doing 65 like it was standing still. Saw a cop right after that going the opposite direction..

Then the next time stuck her at 101mph for about 20+ seconds on the same stretch. Wound her down and saw a cop at the next light AGAIN

Need to find a new stretch I think...

I got to 205 km/h on an autobarn in Germany earlier this year, in a BMW 118d. Pretty scary to sustain that speed, slow moving trucks want to pull out to pass in front of you.

But then in Germany (and esp. in Holland), people actually keep right as they should - a lot more respect for other drivers than in Australia.

At one point I went past the Polizei at 160 km/h - that felt awesome.

I saw 138.X on my Traqmate at Texas Motor Speedway. I know I was over 140 the year before, when the motor was fresh and I had a different transmission setup.

12a raceport - SCCA EP car
EMCO gearset in RX-7 case (not the best at TMS)
4.88 rear end.

101 a few times in the FB. Just an untuned 12a, nothing special. 5000 RPMs, wished I had a longer 5th gear. One of these days I'll actually see how far she goes.

110ish...i still had much more to go, but I dont personally trust a 2300lb car with a poorly designed front aerodynamic profile above that kind of speed :O

I was doing just over 130 when my buddy blew by me on the highway. He was driving a 600hp (and nothing stock about it) corvette, so I guess I shouldn't feel to bad about losing that race. Certainly none of the other little rally cars were able to keep up with us!

Yeah, someday I drive a car like that. Have to find a way to pay for college first though.
