Re: How fast have you been in your w-body?
don't worry fastkatt when i did take it to 126 it was on I90 eastbound from rockford to elgin, (rural- no sidestreets) on a sunday morning with absolutely no other traffic around.... therefore the only persons safety being jeoprodised was my own.... i would never get on it in a populated or high traffic area....
it's just sometimes ya got take her out and open her up :)

65, yes thats right, 65 and thats because it needs front hub bearings like nobodys biz and the L/R strut mount was GONE! Since then its been local test drives until shes totally done. 145 (speedo indicated, so way off) on my bike...thats to damn fast!
Re: How fast have you been in your w-body?
I did my 158 pull on that same stretch of I90 but West Bound

it's a good stretch, flat, straight, and lots of visibility of whats ahead :)
Re: How fast have you been in your w-body?
In my 2000 GTP, 107 then bumped the limiter... Had some AC work done a couple years ago at a local shop, now I hit 127 and hit the limiter. Not sure what changed... Still lots of motor left though. Want to get a couple more supporting mods before removing the limit ;)
Cruised at about 105 for around 3 hours one very early Sunday morning through MO on way to MI. An MO Trooper ran alongside for awhile, waved, and took off heh... Bet he hit 140+
Very stable / comfortable!
Oh... and on my Katana, 165+... stopped looking down ;)
Re: How fast have you been in your w-body?
I have only done a short burst of 100mph because the thing feels sort of sluggish to react at normal speeds and the brakes and headlights suck.
Re: How fast have you been in your w-body?
110 for me, my wife was pissed, no cuchie that nite.
Re: How fast have you been in your w-body?

Someone should paint "TOO FAST!" right after the speedo ends.
Re: How fast have you been in your w-body?
137 In my GTP on a 2 Lane Blacktop. Needless to say it was scary. I've had it to 126 passin some cars once with the wife in there. Needless to say I got my ass chewed, but i was tired of following the 'Old Geezer Pack' .

Re: How fast have you been in your w-body?
