Default Maximum velocity reached last night......

My friend and I were on 287 north by Bernardsville
in Jersey last night and decided to make a top
speed run last night. Instead of throwing it
down I decided to just punch 6th at about
90 mph. It was still pulling up at 145 so I
said F**k it. Next 150 155 160 and when all
was said and done we hit 170 at about 6900rpm.
The car was handling like it was going 80
through turns and all. It was great I was up
there for about 1min and it was intense. Next
week my lightweight flywheel and clutch goes in
and will raise my top speed by about 10 mph or so.
Will top it off then and put the video on here.
I will hit the n20 at 140. Should be a fun ride.
Some of my friends will be filming from the
side of the highway and one from inside the car
so the video should be nice.

A simple chip and catback exhaust is what you only need.

Default I know 287 can get empty at night but be careful. At least send a scout ahead.

There are speed traps throughout 287 and at that speed you'll need mucho $$$ for bail.

Default Funny thing is I wanted to go faster .......

but my bodykit creates more drag. I think
without the kit I could have pulled and
extra 3-4 mph. Also this was done with my
racing headlight intake contraption.
I was thinking that that air was getting forced
into my cda box at 170mph!!!
