Sorry mang. One of the perks of that particular job. Trust me, the downsides of the ultra-exotic car biz **FAR** outweighed the benefits. It’s a nasty world out there.

145, and still pulling hard. I had no intentions of going faster, unless i was in a safer environment, one thing to risk my life another to but other people in danger. 106 is my highest 1/4 mile speed

sam pretty sure we hit 160 in that run… i remember feeling uneasy on the slight curves of the hwy we were on 😛
for me, probably only about 130 in the sti. car felt steady as hell, and was no where near done (minus the limiter I think they have at 145?). Just no real reason to go faster than that

I have done 145 in the Cobalt when it was lightly modified. (pulley + tune only)Car was straight and true. It felt very solid. and she still had more in her i just let off.
120ish in the Camaro. I just never really got on it too much in the car yet.

I agree,correction 3.27 gears.3.37 was a typo…
Also has stainless steel dual H pipe exhaust.4R70W tranny with a 11.25" torque converter (same as my '03 P71).I bought him a K&N filter for his B-day.Other than that the car is bone stock.

140 is 5th gear at 7000 in my PGT.

Turboing your car won’t change the gear ratio. You’ll only ever be able to top out at 140 unless you rev the piss out of it. Theoretically you can hit 160 if you rev to 9500 rpm but that’s another topic completely.
