Off the record, theoretically, whats the fastest any of you have done in your 86?


I can neither confirm nor deny that my speedo will read 110mph before the driver lets up.
I read here somewhere that the front end gets real light around 120 in a stock car. I seem to remember Redleader confirming that as well.

Theoretically I would believe the front end on mine would get light at 125

My car theoretically chimes at 180km (110mph) telling who ever is behind the wheel to slow down. Also, It's rumored to feel like it is floating at about 118 mph.

I can't confirm or deny these though because the tires are no longer rated for such speeds and traveling that fast would be irresponsible and dangerous.

The west side meet doesn't have a schedule... It lands on a random Tuesday when we mutually feel like it should... LOL!

I can't really say but my favorite random number is 118.
