How fast have you gone in your ti?

[airborneSGT]

When I was stationed at Bragg I used to head back down to FL via I 95. Always seemed through parts of SC that it was wide open. Right before I headed to Germany I was on I26 I think it was on down to Charleston AFB for my PCS move. They were going wide open there too!

For the whole time I dated the same gal it was the same roads:

I 95 south from NC to FL
I95 to I 4
I 4 to I 275 on in to St. Pete

Plenty of awesome roads to "test" the speed limit. I had an Acura CL type S and that car was fast. Many fond memories of those years. I actually met her while I was playing drums on tour all over.

For those who have the chance I also recommend the following stretches of highway just for the experience:

I 220 from Greensboro, NC through the George Washington Forrest in VA.
Highway 64 around the Asheville, NC area on down to Hendersonville, NC
US 1 straight on down to the keys!
I35 from OKC on up to Wichita
Highway 222 from Ephrata on up to Allentown

I was suprised how fast these cars go. Then again you go on the autobahn and sometimes you will get passed by station wagon and mini vans!

137mph on 245/40/17s, modded m50b25nv and a 3.25lsd.

147.5mph with a 3.0 lightweight m3 motor. i felt i could have done 155 if i tried, but bugs were hitting the windshield like a hailstorm.

Mine is new to me and I don't know what it will top out at. But I was surprised how fast it will go from 70 to 100 mph in fifth gear for a 1.8L.

116, it'll show around 120-121 though. The speedos read ~5mph fast.

Yes I confirmed this with my GPS driving to Munich.

170 GPS measured with 2.93 diff and 225/45r17 at rev limit (6800 RPM) with 17 psi DASC M44. Done at Pocono Raceway. The car didn't feel too stable and I don't think I'll ever try to exceed 155 again.

Craziness!

try doing over 120 in a 68 Ford F100....4 wheel drums, no seatbelts, non speed rated tires....I couldn't steer, the front end was off the ground.


Back to the ti, interestingly enough the OBDII reader had the correct MPH, but the speedo doesn't.

Only 60mph haha! I'm such a wuss I've never taken mine out in the highways yet. But that'll change soon!

Just a suggestion to any one who has never done it....

If you want speed go do a track day !!!! Its more fun than you can buy anywhere...

Couple hundred bucks gets you a day on track, instruction, and NO SPEED LIMIT! WHooHOoo

Once you do it the street is just a way to get to the next track...

No matter how experienced a driver you'll learn something! I took a friend to one, he had 20 years as a truck driver, he was real skeptical, but he even said he learned some stuff that he had never known that would help even driving his truck.
