What's the top speed on the stock second gens? GTU? GTUs? TII?

RX7Aggie 08-13-2003 11:38 AM

120 mph, but my drivetrain losses have to be like 35% since my driveshaft ujoints are bad.



i could push it harder, but going over 90 mph turns my car into a giant rotary powered vibrator, so i'd like to avoid doing that.

thought it was 145 for a t2

RX7Aggie 08-13-2003 12:18 PM

probably, but my driveshaft is crap, so my top is 120 right now...



that's all i've pushed it to, at least

MazdaEnthused 08-13-2003 12:35 PM

i wonder how long it takes to get there though

I have taken the Vert up to 120MPH in fourth gear.. I never put 5th in but I know I could have gotten another 20MPH out of her at least..

I've never tried my n/a, it gets to scary around 100 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png . Shakes like crazy, I need suspension/alignment/bushings/tires.

Mine was pretty steady thank to the extra weight.. I can still switch lanes with confidence at 100MPH..

i had a tll couple months ago and i went to 15 and everthing was stock

the gxl goes to 120 but i dont about the gtu maybe 10 15 miles more

GTU has a higher final drive though. I actually loose speed when I change from fourth to fifth. I got my car up to 127. That's about when I start to really get scared. Mostly from the law, however, even though I'm pretty much fucked if I get caught either way.
