I did 85mph on the way home from work today in a 1991 Caddy Eldorado with 219,000 miles on it.

138mph, calculated.....speedo said 140...pretty accurate for that high of a speed......not bad for an '83 with stock internals

149 (indicated 151) I was bounceing off the revlimiter...
I think 155 is now within my grasps (new revlimiter of 7050)


BTW.. This was done on an airport runway and speed was clocked by radar.

Red face My Fred Flinstone style Yugo crushed all ya alls!

Yeah that's right tough guys. I dropped out the floor from my 86 Yugo and I was peddling faster then a crack addict searching for some rock. I got up to 1000hp and was going about 250mph just with my feets! Yo yo rice on that for awhile!

Got to give it up to Nexonline. Damn that was entertaining.

On to busines I am looking for the top speed thread we had here awhile back. People were posting all kinds of time running from 60-120 or so. Rage posted up some good times. The reason I wish to find this thread is I am going to do some boost logging tomorrow figure out exactly how my turbo spools as well as holds boost and how long it take me to reach certain speeds. I figure if I can post all this info with video some of you guy's might be able to give me a ballpark on my hp. Seeing how I wont be going to the dyno any time soon.

If one of you guy's could find that damn thread and bring it back I would really appreciate it. Thanks alot.

Speedo-indicated 137.5 in the 951. It was. . . on a track. . . kinda. . .

In all seriousness, it was a pretty safe location.

If you want cheap speed in a Porsche...get a 928. If you REALLY want speed and performance in a Porsche...install forced induction on a 928...it's uncanny what these cars can do....and you'll pass many of the new $100K+ cars. Dunno what the turbo 968 will do but I'm thinking it would be awesome.
