must see pic of speedometer...going fast



i do not encourage people to go this speed...i was just seeing where the RPMs are...the car at this speed does not shake much... you can feel that the car has reached this high speed...i did end up topping it out 4 times hitting the govenor...my opinion it holds ok at that speed

I cannot believe you actually took your eyes off the road long enough to take a picture of your speedo while doing 110. You must have a death wish. There have been a lot of idiotic things done and said on this forum, but this takes the cake.

Glad I'm not driving in Florida anytime soon.

So 110mph is the max? Pretty impressive.

That pic is surprisingly clear and sharp.
Can't beleive you took your eyes long enough to get your camera in focus to do that.

Ever hear of auto-focus??? People, you can take a picture very easily without even looking with the cameras out today.

Heh. Exactly. My first thoughts were "*gasp* He only has 376 miles on that car." I guess you've broken in that car pretty well though.

Thumbs up

I have always broken a car in the way I am going to drive it. The first car I ever had was a brand new 1986 Monte Carlo SS, I had that thing topped out the first night I had it. I always drove that car hard and it stayed tight till I sold it 2 years ago. I sold it when it had 160k hard miles and it didn't use a drop of oil and ran good. I used to drag race all the time and many a night I would have it pegged out comming home from my girlfriends house. It even ran a 12.82 through the 1000ft with 89k miles on it. Drive your car how you want and enjoy the hell out of it.

Why do you say that? He's not redlining it. You realize its designed to operate below that right?

I have to agree with Plus C. There's lots of things to do with a vehicle and I'm surprised doubling the speed limit and taking a photo of the dash is one of them.

I believe in getting some revs during break in, but I would not do quite that many. At least it had over 300 miles.

112 mph at 5,300 rpm is right about at 2839 rpm at 60. Judging by the rpm's that is a stick shift.

Hahah cool man.

I got 110mph out of my 1.2L L12A engine XD, even though reported speed is a 106mph XD.

100mph I'm doing about 4.5k, so just over 5k for 110 isn't bad
