the range of numbers dosen't matter... does your car stop pulling at 115?

my truck shows 120, but electronicly shuts off at 98.... god, i need a tune!!

 

NOT all 2.73 cars are limited to 115mph it was dependant of what the Tire option was on each car. My old `94 Formula A4/2.73's came with 245/50 GSC tires and a 155 speedo. If a car had Eagle GA's in a 235/55 size it would have a different speedo and a Limiter
I could also manually hit 1st gear in that car aswell even though it didn't have a 1st gear detent.

 

^I find that very hard to believe-unless it was an old school 1st gen-he let you win.

Regarding you and yer bud, it'll be a close-match, but a vert is a bit heavier, stick doesn't make up for that. My money would be on you for this race, but against a Lightning you don't stand a chance.

 

So what cam do you have? That would give us alot more information.

 

regardless of the cam the fact that he has intake and exhaust is what is going to decide the race. If you dont win something is very wrong.

 

Are you kidding? a cam is way more important than a friggin cold-air and cat-back. The 2 combined might get you 10 extra WHP, big deal.

 

It simply is true. I have done this my self on 2 of my own cars and 4 other cars that belong to friends.

My 94 was the first then my 97.

As well as my buddys 96 and a few other of my friends cars.

Another thing, 2:73 cars where not limited to 115. Sounds like your level of knowledge is very low. Please refrain from posting innacurate information that you are not 100% sure of. Ignorance spreads like a disease.


The speed governed cars came from factory tires. If the car came without z rated tireds they restricted the speed due to the fact that a tired thats no speed rated can explode over 115 mPH from the heat created.

 

Yeah you have intake, exhaust and a cam you should take him. Without the cam it'll be a drivers race.

 

like me

 

mine stops at 120

 

My z28 had 2.73s stock and the speedometer stops at 155.
