I broke mine when I did my heater core. I pulled on it too hard and snapped the cable.

[quote name='rota-re' date='Jul 3 2002, 09:29 AM']my best is around 190km/h.... stock N/A... pulling around 4000rpm (if i remeber correctly) car felt steady as a rock....

had to slow down.... my g/f was gettting unimpressed

i've got akool pic of me doing around 120km/h.... i'll scan it and throw it up soon....

Ok what is up with this?? 190 Km/h?? THats not even 120 mph. And the cool picture of 120 km/h?? THats about 70 mph. What is the speed limit over there in australia? My vert likes to cruise at about 120. Havent really had enough road to do much more.[/quote]

ya....as rotaryman said... i have hit 190km/h (120).... reasonably quick

Its not the fact that i'm doin 120 thats kool....its just the pic...

speed limit is 110km/h on most country roads....

I've had my N/A up to 132, but like sidewinder, I ran out of decent road. It really didn't feel like it had much pull left anyhow.

my 87 gxl gets up to ~140 in 4th without trouble, but 5th gear has nothing left after I shift. Seems like every time I drive to chicago and back theres a new maxima ready to try hang with me weaving > 120, I get scared watching them try in the mirror. The 7 on the other hand has so much downforce at that speed it's begging you to go faster. I generally fall in love with the car all over again every time I drive downtown. Even when it decides to not ******* start the next day. If I had a turbo, I'd probably be in jail
