I hit 144 mph with more to spare, but let up. Thought a cop was trying to catch up......only it was a Honda trying to go fast ! My car begs to have it opened up at least once a week. Sunday AM is the best time....everyone is either at church or asleep, including the cops ! Be safe and responsible too !

You're running a Jim Wolf TT and don't have a built motor? I wouldn't try going past 155 under boost. kaboom??

What do you think Alberto?

not so. i got pulled over for doing 120mph in my 300zx a few years back, and the guy wrote me a ticket for 80mph. i was racing a couple other cars at the moment, we all got pulled over, and i was the first who was given a ticket and let-go, so i don't know what happened to the other cars.

what was weird was that he wrote a note on the ticket that said something like "racing other cars", and i think he wrote 120mph, but i don't remember. ticket didn't cost any more than a normal 80mph speeding ticket would, and i would know. i've had lots of 'em.

maybe i'll find it, take a picture, and post.

lets just say this i was late going to a party and going 120, my friend called me for the 5th time as i was leaving a z meet. so i downshifted from 6th to 5th and floored it. let me just say for a stock car this thing pulls like theres no tommorow.
