Well, off 170 last night...(somewhere, friend Pat took me)



He wanted to see the difference between a BPU (mine) and a STOCK (his) RX7. So, we go to a PERFECT STRAIGHT 2 mile stretch by an old airfield.



I switched my boost to the 12psi setting and was off.



Well... I haven't really layed on it since I installed the IC, and let me tell ya'...****. This bitch rolls. Shifted to 5th at 125ish, and kept rolling.... Right after I hit 140... My ***** were in my neck and I got scared. So, I let off. I was at like 5500rpm... Wonder what this ****** has.



The only way I really felt the speed was we had the windows down...



Car drives SO smooth all the way to 140+ Wasn't light or anything... I'm just a *****.



BTW Pat has a BEAUTIFUL, FLAWLESS, BONE STOCK 94 R2, with 40 something thousand miles that he wants to start modding.... Ahhhhhhh YES!!! A VIRGIN!!!!!!

Try taking a turn at the track at full throttle (about 135 mph) after the end of a mile long straight. That'll show you exactly how big of a ***** you are. :P



Unfortunately, I am still a *****. h34r: Going back Wednesday to prove to myself that it can be done... :unsure:



Maybe I'll take a ride in the race-prepped Viper and have him show me how it's done...

I didn't know Mustangs could turn at that sort of speed. Isn't there a steering cut-off above 60 MPH? I'd think it would be dangerous above speeds like that, especially in a Fox-body.







Just f0ckin' with ya.

Here's a pic for you guys: B)







Incidentally while we were there, and NSX ran off the inside of this turn, deep into the grass... found out later that he had mis-shifted from 5th down into 2nd!! YIKES!!
