I will bet
I bet money his driveshaft DID NOT FAIL because of going 140mph.
He has probably dropped the clutch at 6000 RPMS only about 100 times since he's owned his car. His driveshaft was ready to fall off obviously at any moment. Last edited by 2001ragtop; 12-20-2011 at 10:32 AM. |

I'm well aware of the dangers. There is a great risk of anything going bad anywhere, even if you go 20MPH under speed limits.

5th gear is overdrive. I will not go WOT in 5th. 4th gear with 4.10's stops @ 135 @ 6200-6400. Disagree all you'd like, I know my car very well. 5th = thrown rod with that kind of load.

The LS is the only V6 limited to 118. The LTs are limited to 155 just like the SS. Again, im not saying going that fast (130-150) is the smartest or safest thing to do but it can be done quite easily on the V6s. that are limited at 155. For the sake of not closing this thread I wont say where, but Texas has some wide open country roads with long stretches that are miles open. It is pretty easy to hit those speeds and still see a mile or 2 up the road. (Not Condoning this at all BTW, just saying)

Also, I can testify the V6 gets up to 144mph with a tune, CAI, Exhaust and headers. Not the smartest thing to do, but you only live once right?

Funny video, but I was hoping to actually see some damage.

I've hit 140 in a '01 GTP. Thats a FWD supercharged V6, rated at 240 hp/ 280 torque stock. It had a 3.2" pulley, fender wall induction, 3" downpipe with high flow cat and custom exhaust, and tuned PCM. It had more to it but I had to lay off when the steering wheel started to shake, probably because the tires were not rated for that speed. I would think a 300+hp gen 5 wouldn't have too much trouble getting to 140s or 150, probably just a tune, and especially with the RS pirellis on it. And the drivetrain I would think is more sturdy than it was on a grand prix from 10 years ago with a lot less power stock.
BTW, that was 10 years ago, I'm not as young and stupid as I was then, and wouldn't even try to get a car upto those speeds now. |
