    I had the bullet up to about 115-120 based on math on the rpms. About 5-grand in 5th, stock trans b6 pre-aspire swap :/. 165-70-12s if anyone wants to double check it. Had plenty to go but didn't want to pass my rabbit!

    For those unfamiliar with the term a rabbit runs ahead and catches cops so they don't catch you!

    The blue car is all stock and will run 90+ all day in 4th.

                Fastest I can seem to go is 85. After that there's no more numbers.

                      Oh man, had to breath on that one.

                      I think I went about 130 racing a Civic on a totally legal dragstrip.

                          Top speed... haven't tried but I'm guessing well over 100 mph. Had no problem cruising at 80+mph with five of us in the car and the A/C blowing cold. Now I've got my squeaking problem figured out perhaps I should do as Bill Cosby once suggested... "blow the gunk out".

                                On my way from N.C. to AZ I drove through Mexico and figured I'd see what a stock B3 auto would do.

                                See, no matter how much more it accelerates, it seems to only go 85, or in this case trip reset knob. :p
