Whats the highest speed you have ever gone in the MKIII?(nws)

[IJ.]

131 if 3.91 and 137 if 3.73 diff gears at that rpm

 

[Poodles]

yep, 89, so 3.73 gears

137 isn't bad...

been far faster in an audi A8 in germany... cruising at 125MPH and it would pass with ease at that speed...

 

[suprahero]

I hope you weren't too far from your local service station. Our cars are way too heavy to try pushing anywheres............:biglaugh:

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

stock suspension besides the KYB shocks...
pretty much stock here, just had a shimmed wastegate at 8PSI
was smooth enough to take a picture with my camera phone...
yes the mustang lost :evil2:

got quite a few more mods now, so I dunno what it's capable of...

You need some gas.

When you got good legs it's not as bad. Doesn't make it much more pleasant though. -_-

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

Going by the stock speedo?

of course... stock wheels and stock sized tires both r-154 and 3.73 rears

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

Fastest ive been in a supra was 137(calculated) with the targa off. BAD IDEA.

no joke, lol... toyota says not to take it over 100

 

[deranged]

Tach reads 5000 at this point, I got it to 145 that day. I estimate by judging the tach reading at both speeds that my car is capable of just about 160 at 6500, and it felt like it could get there too, just started running out of road.

I've gone this fast with and without the targa on. Targa off wasn't that big of a deal, just kinda loud. I cruise at 110 with it off all the time. My exhaust was at about 1400 degrees according to my gauge.

Transmission is unmodified. 7m isn't.

 

[Poodles]

negatory... the owner's manual says NOTHING about high speeds with the targa off...

it's perfectly safe as long as the road conditions allow it (and well, if your car is in good working order)

over 100 with the top off and it gets odd as the air rushes over the opening instead of into the car...

What RPM was it doing at 160 mph?

 

[vas85]

I've hit 175km/h (109~mph) and I wasn't even trying and it also didn't feel not one bit scary or unstable or anything of the such. Don't know the top speed of it and I don't have a theoretical limit with a digital dash but doing 109mph was without a sweat.

 

[89Turbo]

150/auto/3.73

 

[Dunckel]

My stock speedo said 40, but it was already wrapped around once, and my tach was back to the 1. So what's that, like 240mph? Yeah, my mod list is pretty secret. But it is WAY faster than Duane's or IJ's.

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

What RPM was it doing at 160 mph?

over 6,000 for sure, i wanna say about 6,400?... at 165 it is at 6,500:aigo: i wouldn't recomend doing this too much, unless your motor is built to take that kind of abuse

 

[Boost Lee]

I was right at 6,250 at 164. :icon_conf

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

speedo's off?

currently have a 87 w/ a non-working speedo, drivetrain(r-154, driveshaft, and 3.73 rear), ecu, and wiring harness from my 89 turbo that i was in

 

[honestabe]

85 in a U-Haul both times with the Supra on a full trailer behind it. 120~ in both the 7M's and my 1J. I prefer accellerating to the speed limit as quickly as possible though, more fun.

[zdaeng]

I manage to hit nearly 240 km/h but not sure whether my speedo meter is reading correctly. My mods are just stock 1J with HKS boost controller, AUTO transmission, 4.10 torsen final gear and 265/35/18 tyre.

 

[Ma70.Ent]

You were going around 145-150 mph, if that was converted to MPH, but the speedo tends to go off after 120 MPH, so who knows

I don't believe this would apply to those with a GT Limited (Digital Dash?)

 

[BasicMinusBA]

145mph
