i wanna go fast

[dontendupzero]

4.0L Explorer, 3.73 gears, 235/75/15 General Grabber AT2, Flat road 95MPH... Fastest for me though that i have drove was around 165MPH in a 1990 Ford Probe GT turbo built.

I've been to the ~115 mark with my ranger in 4th and 3.73 gears. I would've pushed it faster, but then I started catching up with too many cars on I-70 and neither me or my buddy had a fuzz detector.



Oh, and that was in the turbo ranger. I love the hum of the four cylinder at that speed. Who agrees?

 

[03fx4l2]

yes i did hit 120 and yes my truck has the jet programer. so no limiters.

My 04 5spd manual ran 85 in 4th with gear to go.... it's a 4x4 ext cab with 4.10's. I wasn't upshifting to see what it would do.

My friends 94 Ranger, with headers, auto 2.3..... slammed to ground did 120 (but it took about 5 miles)

Your 88 2.9 liter must be better than mine!!! at 90 it would get a real nice burning smell that took over the cab....... ( this same friend wrecked his lowrider, bought a 1990 2.3) with big tires and wheels..... b4 it lost overdrive we would race to my house from school, hit a bridge going 80 we both got all 4 tires off the ground, we never went much past 85 in Ky the roads are too curvy, and hilly.

and once upon a time, I got my dually to 118 (ran out of safe rpm's) they don't handle so well that fast.
and my camaro to 146 (the front tires began to lift, and I lost stearing) crapped my pants and slowed down never to do that again.

1993 2.3 5sp (yeah..overdrive ) 3.55 225/60/16 (26.9")

80@3000rpms.

I think the fastest I ever had my Ranger (6" lift, 36's, 5.13's) was 70mph.

I didn't realize we were allowed to list non-RBV cars:

1992 S-10 4.3L V6 on 225/70/14: 100mph pacing friend on a motorcycle who was going perhaps 110

2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser (base model): 115mph

2003 Pontiac Vibe GT: 120mph (has 6 gears, 3rd redlines at about 85, had room to go faster)

1999 BMW 323i: 105mph, room to go faster

2005 Chevy Cobalt (Supercharged): 100mph, room to go much faster, but hated the car because the 1st 3 gears are annoyingly short

2003 Acura RSX-S (turbocharged): 110mph

1974 Chevy Nova 4 door with L6 (250ci): 110mph (speedometer starts bouncing above 110, and is therefore inaccurate)

1995 Aerostar 3.0: Governed at 90mph

1999 UAHMMWV: 70mph

2004 P71 Ford Crown Victoria: 130mph

I don't think I've ever pushed a car to its absolute limits though.

the fastest iv bin in a boat was 168 mph 36 sleek with 2900 combined hp i helped builde the motors so i helped "test " the motors
in a car my gf lancer raly art edition was around 115 when she was sleeping =]

 

[86 4x4]

i had an 04 2wd edge with the 3.0 5speed and 4.10s and it cut off at like 92 at about 3800 rpms. now ive got an 86 4x4 with 2.9 5 speed with 31s and 3.73 gears and i havent been over 75 or so. now my 95 t-bird would do every bit of 125 wen i changed it to a cop car computer and put in an aluminum driveshaft and 3.55 gears!

 

[Jay FX4]

The fastest I've ever driven a car myself was 105 in a 1997 Toyota Tercel. I don't remember the displacement of the engine (1.5L maybe) but I know it only had 93 HP. I was shocked it even went that fast, but it took a good few minutes to get there.

 

[BlackBII]

I've had my bike up to 130, and that was in 5th gear at the redline..

 

[nate12346]

4.0L manual 3.73 and 31 inch tires on the bronco II. Speedo stops printing the speed at 85 but i have had it bouncing on the trip reset button so im gonna say 110...

 

[88rangerboy]

'88 2.9L with a 4 speed auto 4:10s with 31's - pegged at 85 in both 4wd and 2wd. And yes, I know I'm an idiot for trying it in 4wd.

'01 PT Cruiser - 115 bone stock

 

[Ranger#1]

**** yea 85 in 4wd thats bad ass

i got 110 in my 97tercel too!! yeah its a 1.5, took a long time but once going above 80 that thing started acting like a real car, i traded it in for the ranger cuz i blew the engine 4 times...maybe too much speeding..
