180+ mph club?
I've only gone to 130 in the DSM. I don't feel like doing another top-speed run until I have a lot more power and raised rev limiter. Right now it hits the 7500 limiter at just over 120 mph, I plan to rev to 9k on the next engine which should go just past 140 in fourth. The shift to 5th is just painful, it was slow going from there with the near-stockness, hopefully with twice the power by the time it's through it won't be so bad. Theoretical top speed at 7500 is 166 or something, mid-190's at 9k, but I don't think it will get up much past 160 without spraying it, which doesn't seem smart for a top-speed run.

As far as top speed I stop looking down after 160 which is towards end of my fith gear. And the time I've done that is agaisnt other Supra's or certain bikes.

As far as my car, somewhere around the 150 - 160 range and had plenty left but I didnt feel like testing it any further then that and I dont plan on doing that again anytime soon.

rev-limeter at 6800 in 5th gear on the spray playing with bikes.
t56 with a 3.73 so i'm guessing 165+ never really did the math but only lost to 2 out of the pack i was messing with. bikes fall on there face at about 150 unless there 1000cc or better.

Finally I can post on this here thread. On Saturday, coming back from certain "spots" in Tampa, I was cruisin on the Courtney Campbell towards Clearwater. About halfway through the causeway, I saw blue lights coming up on me pretty fast, so I dowshifted to 4th and let it all out. Turns out it was a 1.8T Golf and it was bustin a good 130mph until I caught up with him.
I ended up taking my car to 140mph and had to shutdown for some traffic. Funny thing is, for a near stock SE-R, I could've pushed it to 150...
All this on H rated BF Goodrich's...
