I checked my car in 3rd and 120mph is right, next week I will check 4td and 5th

0-60 means nothing

 

He is speaking of 0-60, not 1/4 mile.

eh, w/e.. bench racing is bench racing..

this thread is so vey off topic and filled with 99.9% incorrect information anyways..

 

He is speaking of 0-60, not 1/4 mile.

 

That's about right unless you are a MacDonalds addict. I believe each 100 lbs. of weight adds 0.5 seconds

.1 seconds..

 

I have a 93 sohc stealth, and I have had it to 135, ansd still puching more. like someone already said though.. after like 120, it just completely loses its acceleration. I was doing 135 on I-95 North in philadalphia, and hit 135 before a van moved over in front of me. a$$. I switched lanes and missed his rear bumper by about a foot. lol. Id like to know what the car can max out at anyway. I dont race it or anything like that, but its always good to know.
I also only way 135, so apparently thats adding to my performance lol.

 

damn fast food kills!!!!!!!!

 

lol this thread is full of jokes

 

I vote for a BAN on this fool :bandit:

 

I corrected your quote for you.

i know you are trying to prove a point that this picture is wrong, but i think you are over exaggerating. Don't be dissing my na over here lol. I do believe it's 0-60 in 8.5 miles. lol

I corrected your quote for you.

 

Which also ties us in to my highlight of the "trip meter", located directly below the odometer. Notice is says less than 10 miles. Another impossibility for an NA, even with Nitrous. 0-160 in less than 10 miles is like saying a stock Geo Metro runs 11's. As stated earlier, you'd have to be wide open throttle for at least a half hour to get up to speed. Shit, NA's are 0-60 in like 10 minutes, therefore 0-160 must be like 30-45 minutes. So that is also proved false.

192.. lol..your all from canada right and looking at the "other" numbers on the speedo?

 

lolololololol dude its real well kinda LOL he did it on jackstands

that was my first guess, lol

and as for some of the other shit said to disprove this, i think some1 was talking out of there ass :bandit:

 

when i first bought my car i maxed out third gear at 120, and dipped into fourth for MAYBE 5 seconds and it kept pulling. 94 DOHC base 3000GT.

sorry i think it was 110 instead of 120, it's been so long since my car's been on the road for an extended period of time i forget

BUT... to all you speed freaks out there, that was the ONLY time i ever maxed out third gear or higher. tripple didgets are BAD NEWS.. BAD.

 

It ISNT going to happen. At that speed the tach would be buried.

 

lolololololol dude its real well kinda LOL he did it on jackstands

 

and yes, I have wayyyy too much time on my hands

 

Besides the fact that we all know NA's suck and are slow, I've enlarged & highlighted some key points in that pic that proves it's a fake.

First off, the gas gauge.
Notice it says "full". Well, we all know that since NA's have no power whatsoever, it would take at least 30 miles to get up to speed. And we also know you wont get 30mpg at wide open throttle, not even in a 3 cylinder Geo Metro. Even if you filled the tank immediately prior to the top speed run, by the time you actually got up to 160 mph, you'd be down to 1/4 tank. So much for 160 mph on a full tank.

Which also ties us in to my highlight of the "trip meter", located directly below the odometer. Notice is says less than 10 miles. Another impossibility for an NA, even with Nitrous. 0-160 in less than 10 miles is like saying a stock Geo Metro runs 11's. As stated earlier, you'd have to be wide open throttle for at least a half hour to get up to speed. Shit, NA's are 0-60 in like 10 minutes, therefore 0-160 must be like 30-45 minutes. So that is also proved false.

But the final shred of proof I present is the lack of warning gauges being displayed. At 160mph, any 3000GT/Stealth would at the very least have a Check Engine indicator lit. Likely all warning gauges would be lit, such as low coolant from blowing the headgasket, the SRS warning light (lit on ALL 3000GT/Stealths, even when factory new), and also the brake light would be lit since the car is accelerating so rapidly, all the brake fluid would be getting pushed to one side of the master cylinder due to all the G-Forces and inertia, thus causing the sensor to show a faulty "low" reading".

So I hereby raise the BS flag on the pic.
:bsflag:
:bsmeter:

 

Alright now even if this was true, who in their right mind is going to take their freakin eyes off the road to take a damn picture of their MPH. Not to mention the quality of picture is decent so it wasnt with no camera phone

 

Considering a NA wont do 160 with stock gearing.....

And Omniscent also makes a valid point.

:stupid:

Inless its an ATX, which the car is not..

Who is this guy, I can see his name is "Grey" on Florida3s.com, but is he on 3si?

not to mention he seems decent with photoshop..
