It's a stick, and I have a ten inch sub in the back, but other than that and the people that's about it.

Yeah I also have 17's on it so I know it was off a little, maybe 5mph at most, from that.

I got it up to a little over 130 but it wouldn't go any faster then that. I had two people in the car with me, both of them probably weighed a buck 50 each and the windows were down

Ok, am i the only one that thinks this is the dumbest thing you could do. Not only are you driving way too fast with other people on the road but you have two friends in the car. This is one of the riskiest things you can do, you never now when a tire could blow or something is in the road or maybe a animal jumps out in front of you. At those speeds anything can happen and i don't care if you have seat belts/ air bags your pretty much gonna die. Do you even have tires on your car rated for those speeds. Is your life really worth wanting to know what your top speed is, i know mine isn't.

Im gona agree with this guy. If your gonna do it, dont do it with other ppl in your car man. At least do it by yourself. Im sure crashing at 130mph isnt fun at all

First of all sorry but anyone who does those speeds with two passengers is just asking for it... I mean its one thing to risk your own life with stuff like this, but not others.

I'll admit to 160 in my T/A but thats alone, and i actually have tires rated for 170+. I'm surprised this forum allows these threads and dosnt allow kill stories.

You do know speed has nothing to do with engine stress? 7k rpm in first is the same as 7k rpm in 5th.
