i got my pro to i'd say about 137mph, with three passengers after work one day...(when i first got my car, and it was running right-bone stock)ZOOM~ZOOM~Comment

137 with passengers. do you have the SOHC or the DOHC? and did it take you a while to get up to that speed?When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

dx, it suprised the hell out of me. it was draging ass but i got there. it was still pulling, but i wasnt on a highway and the road started to curve so i slowed down, it had potential to suck pretty bad. that is also the only time ive had it up that fast, im sure it would be easy to peg it out with no passengers...ZOOM~ZOOM~Comment

hye guys lets face it our car are not aerodynamically effecient. now there are 2 key things to achieving a top speed, power and efficency.
efficeny in aerodaynamics is a key. somehting out cars are not very sufficent in.
power, now at 103bhp, i am seriously doubting some of the claims of the SOHC guys. at 190kmh out cars no longer have the gearing to put down the power to overcome the drag,rolling resistance and the ~17% loss in the drivetrain does not help.
now please i know the difference between BS and not. amd i am tired of calling BS and this tread is really dumb
thread locked.When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?
