WJM Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 96 MPH is the absolute top speed of the DL. Oh, and its all stock now. Stock stock stock! Not a single mod! It got there....to 80.....81......82......83....well, you get the picture. Finally, 2 miles later, 95......96...and no more....and over the the next 2 miles, no faster, no slower....level ground. *sigh* Slowness. Oh well, 2k miles so far on the $100 SUBARU, and no real issues. Im glad it put up with that sustained 5000+ RPM run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ma-fia Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Im glad it put up with that sustained 5000+ RPM run. Good for you! I had to replace wheel bearings after I decided to test how bad my steering wheel would shake at 85mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 My GL never made it to 75mph in 22 years! Glenn, 82 Hatch, been to 74!!!!! 01 Forester, 95 uphill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxtar Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 i've gotten my 92 loyale up to 85. could have gone higher but didn't want to risk a ticket. plus it was in the appalacians, so pretty hilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 83 mph down hill, accelerator buried - 83 Brat. But then again, the speedo only goes to 85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 120 in my Mercedes, and it was still going strong! I know its not a sube but its what I've got. The benefit of digi-dash in my turbo wagon is that when I get it running, the speedo goes to 120 so I can match the Benz's record! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 165km/h is all I can claim with the old turbowagon, it had a fairly tired motor (misbehaving headgasket, almost 400 000k km) 165 turns out to be a hair over 100mph I think, it sure felt like more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 The RX, back in the days with the delta cams, stripped interior, very high flow intake and exhuast....it burried the speedo way past 125....RPMs past 7000.... Ye ole GL-10 went 116 one time, back when it was 2wd with the 3AT. lol Never had tried a top speed since. Even on 3.1 cyliders, i have a good bit of pedal left 95.
