"Just hoping I never have to do that (run from the cops) .But If some day a have to, the mp2 at 6700 rpm puts the car around 193-194 mph."
--Sam Bretz

Holy jesus. I didn't know my car was capable of going over 120mph. That's just nuts. (Yes, that transmission model mentioned is the one sitting in my addition, waiting to be swapped in)

Yeah, I don't know if I'd risk going over 160 without some aftermarket company actually designing a full-on aero-kit for the car. Not just some bodykit, but a real kit designed for real aerodynamics to keep that plastic POS on the ground and not float.

*edit*
This was due to a spike tv police chase involving an SL2 that outran the cops that sparked a thread over on TSN.

Are you joking, or what? I thought you were already higher than that.

US M3's (5spd) are geared to ~160mph. I am going to get a 2.93 diff (183mph), and eventually 6spd M3 EVO gearbox (223mph)... Not like I will ever see anything close to that...

Holy hell. I knew the MP2 had long gearing, that's nuts. He'd probably be drag-limited to something lower than that. My car feels like it's taking off at 110, let alone 190 :eek:

Yeah, us Saturns suck, cause we have 4.03 gearing. Maaad acceleration power, but our engines can't use it.

I know what you mean. At 115, it's rock steady, but that's probably because it's barely touching the road. It feels like if I hit 1 pothole, the whole car will just fly off the road.
