What is the top speed of a 1991 3000gt SL w/ a 5 speed?
 
#3 ·
I've done 145+ in a stock 94 base model 5speed.

for the last time, our cars do not have a govener (unless she sits in the passenger's seat) You just run out of power so you cannot go any faster... i have gone ~130 in my SOHC Automatic and 145+ in the vr4

Speed, feel the need...

I hit 145+ in my VR-4, after that I had to slow down to catch my exit ramp :).. still had a lot more to push though. I try to avoid having to Speed up and brake fast cause my stock brakes and rotors shake so bad when stopping from so fast! Time to upgrade eh?

the difference b/w the TT and NA is that the TT will walk right up to those speeds without ANY problem at all... while the NA's run out of breath and just inch up after about 105 or so

i would have to trust the tires and the fact that no one is in front of me

Yeah I know how you feel man.... Fastest I've ever gone was only 130 ... but I was high in the rpm range in 4th so...

Ive got 2 speeding tickets and 1 p.o.m. -- my insurance loves me! ... so does my defensive driving instructor

bro, I'm not sure who's car you're talking about, but I hit that when I'm just cruising and not paying attention sometimes..

I've taken my stock 1991 3000GT SL to 140 when beating a Lexus SC 400 down the highway...I was surprised the hot black girl could keep it up like she did......though she did back down at around 130....

it sure was tough looking at the guages at that speed though.

The VR-4 has to be a lot quicker than that, plus I think I could've done at least 150 in the SL if I had the balls ..

anyone have the actual figures for both the stock SL and VR-4?

an sl will not do 150, especially stock... anyone else care to back me up on this?

did u try to get it up to 150?
yes, i can't get it past 130.. my stealth... my vr4 won't get upto 150 without a fight
 
#23 ·
am I crazy for thinking this? if I can get my SL to 140 with relative ease, shouldn't the VR4 blow that number away..what am I missing here...

agtblank - You have trouble pushing your VR4 to 150 after OR before your mods??

before mods... completely stock on the 401 in Canada an hour after i bought the car... i wasn't even driving :eek:
