what is TOP SPEED of a TGP

[dbtk2]

I went almost 150mph in the Lumina.  My friend was following me in his LT1 Z28 (modded with heads/cam/headers/nitrous/etc..., so he had no issues keeping up obviously) and said that when he went around me right before we let off his 150mph speedo was buried.  To him he said it was at least 145, probably closer to 150 though.  It was WELL into 4th gear.  Probably not the healthiest thing for it, but its still going strong to this day as far as I know.

There was also another time I went similar speeds but there was nobody pacing me so I can only guess the speed.  My foot was planted for QUITE a while so I must've been going at least as quick as when the Z28 was pacing me.  (got on the freeway with my foot planted and didn't let off until about a mile before I got off the freeway, the exits are 10 miles apart so thats a good distance)

Damn some of you people are crazy :icon_eek:

I don't even dare take the TGP past 95

yeah anymore those speeds freak me out.  i don't think i've had my Cutlass past 100mph since i've turbo'd it.

from the gear/mph calculators i've checked online the W-body Getrag 282 is good for ~156mph at 6000 RPM in 5th gear with 245/50-16's.

 I woun't think thats fast on the TGP, unless it  handles like a 80's g-body buick.  I know the GTU is well planted at 120...just before I run out of road.

Now driving my dads caddillac with the loose steering...now that was a rush at 70mph  :icon_eek:
