I have stuff on order. The guy hasn't pulled the engine so I am contenting myself with prep.

This man tells the truth. I lost an s13 in some damp weather.

My 180 hit a bump at 120 and made a lane change by itself. I had to throw away that pair of underwear.

i went about 100 in my Grand Am, hit a bump and felt waitless and almost s*** my undies as well! 120 in that wasn't bad..my friend hit around 140 in his S14 with coilovers and some other suspension with an N/A KA (atleast thats what the GPS said)..after i get some good tires and a spare or two in the back, im sure i'll drop in on the 110-130 club..just can't be dumb and use TWO hands on the wheel!

Well I have to agree a 350z is hella more stable then a 240 esp at top speeds.I like the man i am on my second license lmao. (not for dui's but for being caught at high speeds). Last time I lost my license (in 07, just got it back in 08) I was in my Z32 and had the hks sld amongst the other fun things and I was doing around 138/40 or so when I was picked up and good old state trooper tailed me until I slowed down and on with the lights and gone with the license lol. I lost it for a year and they impounded the car on the spot. But needless to say about a week later I was driving illegally I'm sure with all the proper equipment a 240 is well capable of hitting 150 with out any major issues. I do agree hitting a slump pot hole or other thing at these speeds spells disaster but there are parts of the road that are brand new and super smooth(well as decent as a road can be) that are ideal for some top speed runs:D BTW it's always 2 hands on the wheel unless cruising at 45 mph around town lol

The fastest I have gone was 181-182 on my zx10 but bikes are cheating.The fastest I have ever gone in a car that I had a speed to read was 135 in a 02 spec v sentra. The scarest was around a buck 40 in bob tail semi. I had to push on the ceilling to hold me feet on the ground(standing). I was riding with a friend and his father when I was younger. Covered 11 miles in just under 5 minutes. We started from a stop and it didn't accerate real fast.

I had a 351W in the garage to jam in my Ranger then I got orders to Japan. That project never got past the idea stage.

It involves a certain somebody's engine block being shipped to him

The rest will stay a mystery. I am now moving out of my house and filling up a 20' shipping container to get it out of the way. I will post up something when I have something to show yall. I need to get a hammer now, hood won't shut on the engine.
