Ok, so maybe many of you have done it before..... but this past weekend, I buried the needle at 120 mph on a stretch of road.
It was cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Strange thing though..... later in the evening, I took the Acura on the same stretch of road, and only got to 105 mph before I had to start slowing down. The acura is rated at 165 HP..... what does that say about the teener? Any guesses? |

I'm with Jim on this one. Had my 78 928 up to 135. Solid as a rock. I did have 400lb front and 270lb rear springs. Bilstiens all around. "S" brakes, S4 wheels. no wings fins or air dams.
The little yellow Teener is quite stable at 105. (must been the 220lb ballast from the passenger) gonna find out what you guys are talking about soon. 150lb rear springs bigger torsion bars up front, Weltmiester front bar and stock size rear bar. Koni adjustable all around and Cow catcher air dam and flip fin spoiler. Took a Superformance Cobra to 100 and backed out because that thing was all over the place. 535 HP ain't shit if you can't put it down. Alignment is everything. |
