May 30, 200520 yr 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.
May 30, 200520 yr 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.
May 30, 200520 yr Arn't the new gen's regulated at 100mph? it seemed that way.... but that was up a hill
May 30, 200520 yr 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.
May 30, 200520 yr 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)
May 30, 200520 yr 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

May 30, 200520 yr 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)
May 30, 200520 yr Author 115 Just barely keeping up with traffic on the Parkway, huh? I was thinking of EA cars. EJ's don't count either.
May 30, 200520 yr 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...
May 30, 200520 yr 105mph - 185/80R13 tires, non-turbo Approx: 85mph - 215/75R15 cooper STT's, non-turbo 95mph - 215/75R15 cooper STT's, turbo
May 31, 200520 yr wasnt lifted. but 87 carb wagon with 26in tires on it(yes lots of cutting and rear strut spacers anyway.. 75 mph but that was offroad on gravel.
May 31, 200520 yr 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.
May 31, 200520 yr i couldnt even get my old beast to hit 70 on the highway........ that was definatley a "right lane" cruiser..
May 31, 200520 yr 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
June 1, 200520 yr 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?
June 1, 200520 yr Just barely keeping up with traffic on the Parkway, huh? Hahahaha...how true that is!
June 1, 200520 yr 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!
June 1, 200520 yr 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.
June 3, 200520 yr Just barely keeping up with traffic on the Parkway, huh? I was thinking of EA cars. EJ's don't count either. 120 downhill with a strong wind to my back once.
June 3, 200520 yr Hahahaha...how true that is! i hit it going northbound on I-279 on the straightaway right before the I-279 and I-79 merge. Perhaps you know where it is.
