  • First Time over 120mph

    First time I've driven a car at 128-129 miles per hour. It was such a rush, and did not take as long as one would expect :P . I would have kept into it to see what more she had, but I'm not sure what the stock tire speed rating is, probably an H or something. Bah, ok ok that was not the reason I didn't keep going, my girlfriend told me to slow down, and I must admit I had closed the gap from one pack of traffic to the next very quickly That was fun. Wonder what would happen once the speedo hit 140!!

    ....And no I don't have pics for those that call and

          Completely stock, no mods yet a few weeks after I got my 6er, with the LS2's I ran up to 120mph, my GPS has the maxium speed record to prove it. A few days later I got up to 130mph, no GPS though. That's the fastest I've ever gone. Never again though I got the Goodyear Eagle F1 all season (Z Rated ) But I plan on not going that fast. On the way to PA last weekend i was doing 90mph-100 and getting passed by dozens of cars doing 110mph on I-80. Scarriest stuff every. I've done bursts of going to 100-110 but driving that fast, never! I don't feel the need to go fast like that anymore though... somebody's helped me decide that's not a good thing Plus I testest myself not once but twice and don't wanna try a 3rd, might not be so lucky

            I have a Vector 93 Tune, Crab Intake, and sloppy LS2's. I'll ride em till they need to replaced with something worthy.

            I agree with Wormhole, I would not have wanted to turn at that speed
