• so i got my bunny on the road yesterday night, tags and insurance and all that bs, and i was out crusing around in it doing about a buck 20 down I-83, when all of a sudden i see this toyota supra flying up on my ass, i slowed down a bit to around 100 then got beside him and nodded my head, we slowed down to 45, 3 honks and i floored it, and i was having trouble keeping traction, while the supra started to pull ahead of me around 70, and then finally the tires grabbed, and i felt my tranny shift as i tickled the redline. started gaining on the supra, and i heard him shift (awesome nows my chance) so i stood on the pedal as much as i could and while the supras was trying to get going in his next gear i passed him , then i looked down and i my speed had wrapped around once and then back to 85, so i left off the gas and gave it a little bit of braking, i felt my tranny disengage (it was in economy) and i left her coast back down to 75(saving my brakes), then the supra did some lame ricer fly by like he actually beat me.  i just waved and gave him the thumbs up, who knows if he saw it, effing ricer

• yes... tell us of the mods you did to the motor?  I heard that getting the automatic diesel cars to go 100km/h was really tough

  So you were spinning your tires from 45 to 70? Gotta get a video and post it, this I've got to see.

  either that or the tranny box was slipping like mad... from the torque of course

  man that thing was so fast until one night he drove off the road+hit a tree+he escaped safely,but the car burned to the ground unable to be identified

• i think the transmission maybe slippin a little but and the speed needs just a slight calibration.geee goly i wish i had a car like that or even 454 hemi in a 62 mustang lol.man thats on hell of a hybrid muscle car a 454 chevy designed with hemi heads from dodge and then ford actually built a mustang 2 years before they came out and randomly gave it to someone.... i once heard a story were the guy said " it was raining so hard they had to bring out the snow plows to start plowing the water away. I love listening to stories like that because some people are so full of *** they actually believ themselves.

• haha there was some guy at a light beside my brothers scirocco today, he was in one of those late 80s early 90s chevy ss 454 trucks and i rolled downt he window and said do a burn out, and he goes "what  makes you think this could do a burn out?" sarcasticly i replied "i dunno it just says 454 on the side" so he hit it and the tires broke loose in a ball of white smoke and he left off, i know he didn't hit the brake, and it definetly wasn't full throttle, so he didn't power brake it but it sat and spun them like he was haha

• I have an 86 NA Jetta with the automatic transmission. It can easily go over 100km/h. I did 130 km/h for a while bringing it home. Very loud, probably revving as high as it possibly could. Overheated the second I slowed down as I hit construction. Good times, middle of the summer, traffic stopped dead, heater cranked... For some reason the power steering cut out while it was hot. Changes in viscosity?
  
  I thought I was doing 150km/h but it just turned out that my speedometer was quite off. I was trying to follow someone and swearing at them for going so fast. Certainly not fuel efficient at highway speeds though... Luckily I have no need to take the highways a vast majority of the time. Load this car up and then it sure does not want to do over 100... Likely enough pileupe behind you would slingshot you up to speed though. Gotta love 55hp through a torque converter/3 speed.
  
  All that aside it is a cool car. 23:1 compression ratio. $15 a week fuel costs. Relatively easy to work on. Just need to find a standard transmission, for the right price of course. (One slipped through my fingers a few months back.) Could be a while now before I pursue that goal, just had valve piston contact. If I can find a nice piece of stained hardwood I should mount the old head on my wall. Think the wall could support that without too much work?
