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 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



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

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.
