Top Speed Of 1994 Q45

[sachmo12345]

Any NICO members that have gotten to the end of the Q45 speed capabilties?

[PalmerWMD]

Some have some have gone beyond w/ a removed governor.

The 1994 Q45 should be able to go 155mph (governed).A removed governor will get you to faster.

A unidentified member of this club driving a slightly modded ( chip) Q45 has once been clocked at 180 mph by the Florida Hiway Patrol....

holy jebus!

[elwesso]

Yeah..... The speedo was working on its second lap......

[sachmo12345]

thats impressive considering ferraris with a lot more power top sometimes at 180 although im sure they are governed

[PalmerWMD]

VVT, surprisingly good aerodynamics and a (chipped) redline of 7300 make it possible.

PalmerWMD have you dynoed your car with all of those aftermarket add ons

172 was what a guy did with unknown mods at homestead International speedway. This was with a stock type tire, not a V or Z rating tire. If you ask me, thats damned fast. I have not been above 151 in an automobile. (That is a street registered car) Even then, it was a 94 Corvette and It drove like it was on "ice skate blades" with VR type tires.

My well-used 1994 Q has seen several spurts to 120, 130, and once to 140, and it felt like about 85. Still in 3rd gear. No where near red line. I was late to church. Roads were relatively clear at 6:30 AM, but I was closing on some traffic, and did not want to chance a little-old-lady lane change in front of me.

I have 17" wheels, a FSTB, new brakes, Z tires, and everything was recently balanced, but the shocks are original, and that is just too fast for roads shared with other drivers.

I have no doubt 155 MPH is achievable, in stock formation.

[sachmo12345]

somebody should go for 200

[PalmerWMD]

somebody should go for 200

I am sure its possible w/ NOS, once...

Fred..

[sachmo12345]

yes stress the once because the engine will prolly BLOW

http://www.crubio.com/q45/ this is a 140 run, but it was not shifted @ redline because one hand was on the wheel and the other on the camera:D

[nuQ]

i've hit 130 with ease. was on a deserted country road, a little scary. anything could've jumped out! i backed off.

i think the rpm's were at about 5000 and still climbing VERY strong. didn't seem like it would be any problem to hit the governed 155.

[89 S-13 Driver]

1qcksers engine also has almost 200K miles on it.

Running strong still.

That was not a Q45. Cima I think

[1qckser]

We found the best track slut ever. You might recognize this car as the Q45 sold in our market, but this one has a RB26DETT under the hood.

It's definitely not a G50 Q45. This was posted previously and identified as a JDM (Cefiro?) only car.

[sultan]

it's an A31 Cefrio, RWD with RB series motors, it's also available in AWD i think. Seems SCC should stick to talking about compact cars.
