You've gotten a 3000gt at 185mph. I highly doubt that.

car at 150mph = stable.
bike at 150mph = wind will **** you up.

Get one of these instead.

Dude, it's completely believeable. I've even had my stock '96 Neon to about 120mph.

Pretty sure a Twin Turbo 3000gt can go a fair amount faster...

Turbo'ed cars usually don't have that great top speeds. It's a 3L V6 with like 315HP. There's no way it's doing supercar top speeds.

120mph is not even close to 185mph.

So a 20 year old car is faster than a 90,000 dollar porsche 911 carerra S?

**customstuff** · 11-18-2010, 09:23 AM

My point was that if my terrible little car can do 120, his MODIFIED 3000gt can do 185mph. I guarantee ds has done some work to it.

And yes, 20 year old cars can be faster that a Porsche with some upgrades.

By the way, the top speed for a 3000gt is about 155mph and that's electronically limited. An extra 30mph with some modification wouldn't be too hard to accomplish.

MrRubix · 11-18-2010, 09:25 AM

Whatever, guys.

DS, as long as you're well-educated about the risks and you know how to routinely check your parts and ensure that everything's up to snuff, and you're well aware of riding safety protocols/rules/guidelines, you should be just fine as long as you're not hot-dogging it doing stupid **** that will get you killed.

Even I've ridden 1200cc's. 1200cc cruisers are possible to learn on but it'll be heavy and awkward... a 1200cc sports rider is just lmfao you're going to hurt yourself. For someone like you, I would go with the 1000cc. 750cc will bore you after a while, especially if you have prior racing experience.

Yes.

1998 Twin turbo model, upgraded to 16g ball bearing turbos running @ 23psi, fully replaced all seals and gaskets with performance ones, ram air intake, high lift performance cams, 609 AWHP @ 5300 rpm 477lbs of torque. 185mph isn't ****.

Yes, this is true, it requires a lot of money though.

My brother had a 1987 180sx, it probably did about 140 with a swapped engine, custom exhaust, and a lot of other parts.

But he loves drifting, so he didn't care that much about speed.

He could've gone 90 MPH in 5 seconds.

90MPH in 5 seconds is bugatti territory, sorry no.

not really, you just need really good and fast shift timing, with a load of turbo.

My brother was running the stock turbo too, which I believe is at 7 PSI

He showed me this when some pussy truck wanted to race, and he lost pretty bad, he couldn't even keep up.

Stock turbo, the thing probably made 200 HP, the only way it his 90mph in 5 seconds was by dropping it off a cliff.

So you're saying he had like a 8-9 second car that was basically stock other than exhaust. lololololol

**darkshark** · 11-18-2010, 11:11 AM

^ this

7psi will not get you anywhere fast. Especially with 2 people in the car...and a stock turbo at that.

I've put around 8-10k into my car, I've beaten z06's, Vipers, you name it, (lost to a Ferrari Modena, and an extremely tuned STI, that is all) and there's no way in hell I could hit 90 in 5 seconds.

Yo this thread got off topic we were talking about vehicles with 2 wheels
