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

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

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



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

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.

I've had my TII up over 140 a couple times, and I'm sure it still had some room to breathe.

This is not top speed but my 87 GXL is as smooth as can be at 110 mph. Had her there this morning.

I think FC's are geared to go to 200mph...

TII's are geared for about 160-170 at redline in 5th.

I have had my '87 TII up to 134, that's in 5th gear. I think I shifted too early, prolly could get more out of it if I would've left it in 4th for longer. Funny thing is my car was really shaky at 90mph but at 130 it was silky smooth.

Here is a pic I took in my vert like 2 years ago. I was bored. LOL! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

i've taken my n/a to 225km/h



i usually drive around 160-180km/h (god bless radar detectors and laza cops)

the gearsplit software says:



Pegged in 5th (8k) with a 3.90 rear end a FC will do 190-195 mph



you'll need about 400-500hp

i have done 120 i know it could have gone farther but i was worried about cops

ive gone to 135-140 ... did that like twice



but i go like 220 usually

My GXL topped out at 122. And when I had my t2 I hit 138 but i had to brake for a turn, it was still pulling pretty good though. I bet a t2 could hit about 150.

I believe 146 is the top end for a stock T2. I don't go any faster in mine than it can reach at the end of the quarter-mile--currently right at 100. I've had my license a long time and I plan on keeping it.

I'v pushed my gtu to 130-135 and it is a smooth ride.

i ran my 88 SE automatic to a high way patrol aressting speed of 129. I then got let off cause his speed gun was not calibated. plus I have a clean driving record https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



Now I will see how faster the same engine will do in an 86 sport! 5 speed you guys think it will go faster?

ive gone 140 a bunch of times with no problem in my stock 87 n/a, and thats the truth

When my TII was stock, I hit about 140 on the way to the airport to drop my roommate off. It still had a little left, but I had to turn into the parking lot...The vert I had did about 125 before I had to slow down because of a cop on the PA Turnpike. I'm sure it would have gone a little more, maybe 5-10.

i had the car up on blocks and i spun the tires to like 110 and that was with me changing gears at around 4k each time

OK, Ferris.

Thats great..........

i really did because the shift light came on the first time when i did that at 3.5k... so i figured hey thats cool

Shift light? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

yea.... ?

heh

yea little lite that pops on when it wants to and says shift up with a arrow

As i wrote last year when i got busted.I was in the gxl--139--that was after i let out going down a hill and the trooper clocked me!

ive had my 88 GTU up to 138mph on I-5 in 5th gear. it took a while to get there and it just didnt have power to go any faster https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

the fastest i have ever went in my 86 gxl was 120. i will probably never go that fast agian.

i have pusher my GXL to 131 mph. i dont know what the top speed would be if my car was stock. i dont have any major mods, just the free ones https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif too bad its still a 2600 lb. paper weight at the moment. freaking rear rotor apex seals https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif



i havnt been to the site in a while, it looks really good, whoever is doing the work, keep it up, i love this place https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

ive been to 135 in my 86 , but when i shift to 5th it feels so slow

Just to add my 2 cents, seen 258km/h on the motorways in Germany...no speed limit https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif ..which is about 160mph.
