I didn't wanna dig through trying to find that thread....and i figured this would probably get overlooked if i posted it in the moving pictures....but here's a Saleen going 170+ I wonder if it's real?

BKcauley's 96 did that We raced a lil on the street, I was pegging my speedo at 140 and he was pulling me like I was standing still!

My sisters does that too, 3.73s and no recalibration for the gears!

Something seems wierd. It's accelerating like crazy from 130-140, then stops close to 150, slows down, then takes off again, but it didn't sound like he lifted. They should have showed the road if it was real.

That's what i thought. You could put 4.10s in with a stock gear and maybe hit 120 and it would read about that high.

weve had it that fast before and we have a couple vids of it as well, its 10mph off but it will still go that fast!!!

It sounded like he shifted at 153 MPH. Something's wrong...

 

[GTOreturns]

Its not real. Its WAYY to much excelleration at above 120mph. Yeah I would guess he never had the speedo re calibrated.

 

[5spd GT]

Yep, sounds like a 'calibration' issue as well...

The % increase in gear, makes the speed increase more and more the faster you go...

3.73's over those factory 3.27's is rougly a 14% increase. So at any given speed, your speedo will show 14% faster than he is going...

So the faster you are actually going, it shows even faster...

It isn't just a '10 mph' difference...

150 actually turns to 171 (speedo) and 50 mph actual is 57 (speedo).

He did lift at the 145mph mark or so...when it 'slowed down'...

I'm sure he shows all his high school buddies the video

It's not a Saleen either...

 

[caseywan]

It doesn't really look like the street lights are going by at 190mph either, but then again I've never gone 190mph!

 

[fivespeedsteed]

all the comments are asking him if it was on jackstands...

no we have a vid of it, its legit, mind you he has like a 3.45 speedo gear so it is off a little but not that much, he has 3.73's and yes we were pulling from jon like he was tied to a stump. never underestimate the power of a ported pi swap 4.6, with lots of compression!!!
