singletrack Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I got stopped doing 82 in a 75 on flat highway the other day. No ticket though. I was kinda surprised - about the speed I mean. The cop was hunting tourists, so my local ID saved me. Since I put the new motor in, I can use 5th occasionally too. This is with 26.5 A/T tires, spfi ea82. What kinda results do ya'll get? Going down a big hill doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenTBK Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I havent tried topping it out, but the GPS told me I was doing 83 last time I ran the nice long flat straight highway through the forest. This was a comfortable fast cruise. I'd guess I'd probably top out just over 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjo Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Arn't the new gen's regulated at 100mph? it seemed that way.... but that was up a hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Arn't the new gen's regulated at 100mph? it seemed that way.... but that was up a hill Uh, no. I have had my old GL10 turbo sedan, XT6 and Legacy Turbo wagon over 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 new gens I think are capped at around 124 or so for imprezas (non WRX) I know I had my mom's 96 OBS up to 115 or so once I think I'd be scared to take my lifted brat over 85 or so (actual speed not indicated speed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Flat out my hatch will hit 72mph and that with a couple of bad lifters. The 87 wagon has seen 90ish mph but you really gotta run the rpm's up:brow: . Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratty2Austin Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 well, when i was driving the EJ22 lifted '80 wagon, with the 27" bfg all terrains, i think i got it up to about 100 actual speed.. (speedo was pegged at 85) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singletrack Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 115 Just barely keeping up with traffic on the Parkway, huh? I was thinking of EA cars. EJ's don't count either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty2Austin Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 heh... i pegged the speedo in that same yellow wagon, when it had the EA81 in it... with slightly smaller tires (like.. 25.5 inch) the sad thing is, i topped out the impreza wagon, at about 95 or so too...

Shadyirishmen Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 My 86 gl with 29 inch swampers has the upgraded speedo out of a loyale (so it shows 100mph and above) and has broken a 100mph with the help of a very large downhill run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadsubaruguy Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 i couldnt even get my old beast to hit 70 on the highway........ that was definatley a "right lane" cruiser.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Following Arch home from Gilbert he said we were fluctuating between 70 and 80 mph depending on traffic, wind, and grade of hills. That's fast enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeky Moose Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 my lifted wagon ran right at 100mph for about 5 min down one of the roads here.. was takin a guy to the ER.. and that was with the hitachi on it, lol.. wonder what it'll do with the weber?

archemitis Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 my hatch will do 100+ thats with a gps on the dash. it actualy smooths out alot past70, and acts like it likes it.... cept for the lack of a front sway bar =] with an ea82 mpfi motor, and some 26 inch tires, it would go right up to 85, on the speedo then stop, so i figure 90something... funny how the extra 50-70 horsepower doesnt net a much higher mph... i used to race my dad in his z71, and i knew if i got up to 100 he would slowly fade into the rear view, cuz his was governed at 97 lol!

Vanislru Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 170! kmh which is just over a 100mph, could go faster I'm sure but I really don't like the feel of my car at that sort of speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
