Top End
Just got done with a Bonzi run not to long ago, went out with my 88 GXL and my Technician (rx7doctor , who was also driving) and he let it rip... the car topped at 140 mph. The mods are as follows: Custom fabricated cold air intake, 1st gen header/presilencer combo, racing beat mufflers; working off my original engine.
Also head lamps were up, and there were two people in the car, so who knows how much higher it would of been

shove the bs meter up ur *** 6 witnesses 4 in my car and 2 in the eclipse is good enough and you wern't there so how the **** do you know and also if it was bs i would have came up with something a little better than that .also i was on mazdamark.com and it says the top speed for an 88 gtu is about 135 mph now take less drag off the motor open the exhaust open the intake and do other little **** here and there and i sure hope the **** you'll get 15 more mph out of it it is an rx-7 not a civic if i wanted to talk **** id go buy a civic and come back to this forum and tell you i just did 150 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>lighten up>>>>>>>BRIAN

It's been proven over and over again that the FC speedo over 100mph grows increasingly off. Not that it matters, sucks the car didn't pop a tire at that moment though, would've done the world a favor.

I had a 90 GXL before i got my vert with a full racing beat exhaust, cold air intake, pulleys, light weight aluminum hood, and the light weight vert wheels. Even with all that, the fastest i could go was barely 140 and that was by myself.

There is a fine line between stupidity and fun, which you obviously never met. To begin with, hitting the shoulder gravel/grass at upwards of 100mph to pass cars is quite the 'opposite' of fun. Ruining fun.. It's funy you say that, considering hitting the grass at upwards of 100mph has about a 90% chance of either rolling and or spinning out, which would've either A) killed you and the passangers B) killed the people in the cars that you were passing or C) spun you out so you could act like the sadistic assfuck and be all 'did you see how cool that was!?'. Now, as for ruining fun, I'm sure it would've been just peachy and fun for the cars you passed to take an rx7 in the door at 100mph, I'm sure they wouldn't have minded. If you're looking for acceptance and for someone to think you're cool for posting a brag story for beating an eclipse you're definatly floating in the wrong area. To begin with, it's an eclipse... That's not something to brag about. Next, you quite blatantly described your ignorance for anyone around you and your passangers, which again, isn't going to impress anybody. So just what, might I ask, are you hoping to gain?
