Re: TOP SPEED Survey (130+ MPH)

[the-mad-bastard@home.com]

i've managed to get my car to the 130mph mark once so far.  i was
drafting behind one guy at about 120, then a buddy of mine drafted me,
passed me, and when he beside the guy in front of me, i quickly pulled
out behind him and drafted him until he passed the guy i was drafting
first.  then the second guy i was drafting, pulled out of my way, and i
used that momentum, plus the fact that i was on a slight downward slope,
and i kept pulling until about 215km/h (133mph).  then we had to hit the
brakes HARD to avoid the cars in front of us :)  we had lots of room
still, so who knows if i might've been able to get a little more out of
it...the tires at the time were 195-45-15, and the tranny was (i think)
either a 4K, 2Y, or 9A, and the motor was revving around 6850-7000 in
fifth.

	without a draft, i can generally pull the car up to about 205km/h
(124mph)....
