I have gone 150, and I am relatively stock, cheap ebay filter/test pipe/crank pulley are my only power mods(I don't remember if my pulley was on at that time)

It could have gone faster with more road.

But yea after 120ish it just crawls... the car didn't feel so safe with the floaty soft suspension at high speeds lol!! Although I have nothing else really to compare it to at speeds +125.
 
haha, I had my old '86 mazda b2000 up to 96mph going down a BIG hill once. I timed that thing with a stopwatch one day 0-60mph in 23 seconds! woot woot!!! :bandit:

LOL I had a 86 b2000 before. That was a piece of crap, towards the end I was lunching rocker arms out the head covers. Damn thing ran on 3 cyl for the longest time. Try going up a hill running on 3 cyls it sucked ballsssss!
haha, I wouldn't have minded driving the thing if the heater/radio/had power steering/ and not SHIT BROWN interier. I still have it though, extra cab, paid 500 bucks, I think it has over 280k miles now. My dad drove it to work for about a year. hahaha. It leaks quite a bit of oil but fuck it just put a qt per 1k miles and shes good to go :)

I always wanted to slap a 350 in her. But oh well. She served me good for 2 years untill I got my stealth! I didn't put too much money into it either.

I may end up bringing her out this winter since its looks like we will end up getting a little more snow than normal, and my car is lowered about 2" ;) That or raise my car back up(but I can't really afford snow tires anyhow.
 
thats not too safe on jackstands.... :rolleyes:
 
after 120 in a NA it takes a long while.

but 150 according to my speedo(probably 145ish)
 
wow, that was from forever ago....

well, mainly because the car isn't strapped down.

But I also can't imagine it being very good to the axles with the a-arms down just hanging.

I still don't think its a good idea even a year later :) Even though I have put the car in gear while on stands, but I sure as hell wasn't trying to max its top speed out.
 
i would guess 3-4 miles in a healthy running NA.
