but it´s Extremly Scary!

 

 

i think this statement hits the nail on the head. while think the car would mechanically top out at what would be quite a decent clip. the suspension on a 4wd wouldn't even be close to safe.

 

on a side note i've had mine up to almost 97mph but it's not something i would do more then once.

I have a 3AT... so in that case I usually keep it at around 70. But... I've got mine up to 110... downhill, on I-15 coming out of Vegas... and it was revving really high... scared the crap out of me sorta :lol:

 

And I've taken a DL 5-speed about 120... same hill on I-15 :lol:

Given the gear ratio of a Turbo 5 speed, 3.700 final drive ratio and tire size of 185/70R13. here are the top speeds for each gear at 6500RPM

 

Gear Ratio Top Speed @ 6500RPM

1st 3.545 34MPH

2nd 2.111 57MPH

3rd 1.448 81MPH

4th 1.088 111MPH

5th 0.871 139MPH

 

N/A 5 speed final drive ratio of 3.900 tire size of 175/70R13 here are the top speeds for each gear at 6500RPM

 

Gear Ratio Top Speed @ 6500RPM

1st 3.545 32MPH

2nd 1.947 58MPH

3rd 1.366 82MPH

4th 0.972 116MPH

5th 0.780 144MPH

 

would never go that fast in an EA-82 but that is the limit of the engine and the gears...

Not to mention that the wouldn't have the power to overcome the drag created by the aerodynamic properties of the car.

'93 Loyale, 3AT, flat ground - 90 MPH

 

 

Neither were absolutely topped out, but I wouldn't want to push it.

 

 

My 102 was in a SPFI 3at on flat, level ground.. and I know I still had another five I couldve gotten out of her.

 

and THAT was with the aerodynamic restrictions of my rustbucket!!! (read: the two HUGE rustholes behind the rear quarter panel windows.. I can reach my arm into them, thru the speaker holes, and wave at you from inside the cabin while standing outside the car :rolleyes:)

 

I should say that I *was* on a deserted toll road driving across the Florida Peninsula south of Lake Okeechobee (read: thru the everglades, FLAT flat ground) and I was also pulled over by a Florida Highway Patrolman about ten miles after I slowed down to 80 in a 70 zone... talk about a close call!
