they're fast but i still don't think they can fly.

i tried flying once and got a ticket for 102 in a 50.

they told me if i had left the ground i would have been cited for improper
seatbelts. lol

110mph in a nissan sentra going down hill. Caught by airplane, arrested by the highway patrol, had to dump half a tall boy. $3,000 in fines and about $2 for the beer. :D :D

i got my saturn up to 125 on a dyno and i got it up to 110 then the fuel cut off kicked in. worst ticker i got was in my 1989 turbo probe. the cop was driving by and my frinde was sceaming out the pasenger side window at our buddy and the cop heard him and thought we were calling the cop names so he pulled me over and said that i was flipin him off and all this other bull shit and wrote me a 500$. i took it to court and the judge looked at me and says " did you really call the cop a ass hole" i said nope and he was like ok dismised i didnt pay a pennie. :twisted:

Have had two of mine a good bit over 120, not sure exactly though. I tend to watch the road.

there was one guy on here that said his truck ran in the 6s and has hit the 200 mph mark. as for mine it will hit 115 in the 1/4 only using 1st and 2nd gear. i would imagine it would top out pretty well if i had someplace to run it that fast. the 2.80 rear gears are coming out though for a set of 4.11 that i just ordered to help the 1/4 times.
