My family was going to the airport few days ago, we had left here at my house at 1:30am the airport is 3hr ride, any way. my dad and i took my car the 1988 camaro, and my brother took his car with his girlfriend and my mom, he has a 1997 Pontiac Grand am GT i believe its a six cylinder turbo, it has turbo i know that for sure, he has a 5 speed tranny, well my dad drove my car, we did 45-60mph the whole way, well we lost my brother, we figured they stopped to go to the bathroom or something, so my dad stops at gas station to wait, and to get something cold to drink, so we get back in the car and we waited 18 minutes (not including time in the store) well my mom and brother notice my car and pull in and my mom has this Fit, You need to SLOW down!! My dad says, we only did 60 the fastest.. My Mom, brother, and girlfriend at the same time say WHAT?!?! My mom says "You guys were going 85-90mph Cause at the begining we tried to keep up and you guys took off."
My dad says, hmm, well thats just great! my dad never passed anyone or anything i dont know how we could of done that speed for that long and not get busted or get behind someone going 50, there was plenty of truckers out that night.. I have the stock tires on my car, same tranny, my brother has diffrent size tires he has the stock rims but with the sporty tires which are smaller than the stock tires and smaller tires would read faster.. I dont know. I have never been stopped my brother hasnt been stopped i always go 50. the speed limit.. So who's wrong?

if you were going that fast you'd have passed people, trucks have governors at 75 an easy way to check (not real accurate but close enough) is find a roadside speed check sign (hte ones with the speed limit, and the digital readout of your speed)

yep i have 373s now, n i was dropping the girl off and there was one by her house and 52mph is really 35mph right on the dot i was goin

MetalliCamaro

so your speedo reads 52 but you were really going 35?

97z2801ss

yes sir

MetalliCamaro

wow.. have you considerd a new speedo gear for the tranny? i better get mine tested! LOL

archemedes

no gear in his tranny it's electronic on the 4th gen

You should be able to tell when your going 90, especially in a third gen.

hey, not cool, besides i tested mine, it starts to shake around 115 to 120, and yes, my 305 did 120.

JimmyFrance

hahaha, man...youd have to pay me to go 120 in a 305..talk about death wish.

archemedes

and what's the difference than doing it in your car? I've gone that fast with a v6 it's just as dangerous (just takes longer to get there)

ryann

so im guess'n u wont go 120 in your car?, since your missin 2 cylinders

I've only taken my LS1 up to about 135 so far and she didn't shake or feel bad at all

archemedes

who? me I won't take it up to 120 because I have a family, and like my license

my car with a 305 is fine and dandy at 115+ mph no shake or anyhting
