ND4SPDWell my dad and I just went 170kmh in our 2006 Mazda Tribute....Felt pretty damn odd with the crazy crosswinds shaking the car a bit.
Ya, that scared me quite a bit. My dad's quiet the aggressive driver. If he gets anything faster he'll kill us both....I swear, a few years back he wanted to get a Mustang GT, the mear thought of him driving the mustang the way he drives a tribute just scares me....JCE3000GTDriving 105mph in a Mazda Tribute/Ford Excape is suicide. I've done dealer trades in Escapes and they are scary in a crosswind and or over 85mph.
Yes, i was wearing a helmet. I refuse to ride any bike without one. And my friend took the sharp right turn at 60, not me.Rogue SsvHoly schizmit! Are you serious? And I thought I was fast on my Schwinn 12-speed, blowing off cars at 45 mph on Northern Blvd!
A right angle at 60 mph?! Ive done it at maybe 30 on a regular road, but never at more! And it was @#$@ing scary!!
I hope you were wearing a helmet!
Oh, you seem to be making a ludicrous claim. Do you have any proof to back up your statement?wasace96300km/h or 180mph in a ford falcon v8 supercar at bathurst1000 in 1998 crashed at lap71

If you're going to lie, at least make it plausible.

EncyclopediaI've done about 130 km/h in my dads Mitsubishi Galant. It felt pretty fast, but when I read some of the speeds you guys have been up to, I feel like a wus.
Oh well, at least I didn't break the law as much as some of you.

LeadSlead#2I was goindown 95 the other day...In my Grand-Am, disconnected the speedo, to stop the governor from kicking in at 108mph... topped 5th out at 6500rpm... since 3000rpm is 78, 65 in 5th should be about 169mph... not bad for a 4-banger with 150hp, eh?
GRAND-AMS RULE!!!
Pink_the_Floyd220 km/h with my dad in his '92 Subaru Legacy in Germany.
Yep, it's got a '98 Legacy engine
Otherwise, it would be the Ferrari F50 I sat in lapping at Spa (offcourse, it was not me driving the F50 but a pro racer )
Somekind of festival at Spa every year 👍

The lack of a manual transmission is just the first of a number of annoying performance contradictions on this car. The tachometer is redlined at 6200 rpm, but the fuel shuts off at 5900 rpm, and the automatic shifts 100 rpm before that. A 150-mph speedometer and V-rated tires, for example, suggest an unrestricted top speed, but a speed governor cuts off the fun at 126 mph.
mine's a 98 - and a manual - with a 6500rpm redline:JCE3000GTI'm going to take issue with this as an exercise, the 150hp your claim would put you somewhere here:
According to the car connection about the 1999 150hp model:
JCE3000GTOh and by the way to completely discombobulate your post, you can unplug your "speedometer" all you want, the ECU for which the governor lies reads it's data from the engine/transmission and not from the instrument cluster. If this was a joke you didn't bother using a smilee to signify that. <--
