88Turbo

I have owned my car now for a little over one month. I was driving to work one morning last week and I always look for tail lights, I leave home at 5 am. I get up close and it is a 79 camero, we made a turn to get onto the highway, 6 lane, and I saw the smoke plum come over my hood and away we went, I like this onramp because it is long and curving, so I drop the car into 2nd and floor it, auto tranny, I am right on his rear and when we get onto the highway I moved to pass, well I glanced at the go meter and I was passing 100 mph. I dont remember when I bumped into drive, but I know the overdrive was off. I kept it floored and passed him, but I dont know if he backed off or if I did in fact beat him.

I love the feel of that rotary pulling hard pass 3 grand, this could be addictive! What is the top speed on an n/a, his car was too old to have a speed limiter. Or, is this typical for a 7? If it is, I am definetly getting a T2.

I think the official top speed is 137 mph, but I topped out at 132. Which highway was this, by the way? One here in Tulsa?

Hey wtg :bigthumg:



Hopefully within the next few months I'll have myself a kill story like that.

Highway 51, entering by the new Lowe's and heading west toward 161st, in Broken Arrow. Are you in BA 87?

87RX7NA

nah, i'm over by 71st and riverside, other side of town. 51 is an awesome highway to race on, especially between kenosha and 169, where it's 3 to 4 lanes all the way. Speaking of which, we should go race there sometime.

Right on, I need some mods before we do. I almost put a cat back on this weekend, but I wanted to talk to you first and see what you had.

87RX7NA

Alright, cool. I don't have a cat-back yet, it's in my upcoming mods list, but the one i'm getting is good enough. First I gotta wire my 6 ports open (maybe tonight ) I'm finally over my "illness", so I'll be back out again soon. I should be free just about any night after 9:30 this week. Just let me know what day's good for you. By the way, you ever get that paint job on?

88Turbo

No paint yet, I have to remove the front bumper and fix the right fender so I can align the hood and headlight bucket. These are all off by about 1/2 inch, and I didnt want to paint until the body is straight. Being "on call" all weekend didnt leave me much time to work on it.
