Fastest in the civic 110
Fastest in my Mustang not sure ran out of #'s at 155 but guessing around 170-175 by speed calculator...... The bad part i was racing another Mustang didn't see state trooper pull out but i passed him going that fast and the Trooper was doing 100. Needless to say i didn't stop but he did get my plate #. Many hours in court and a few fines but never lost my license (i got good lawyers). All together there were 13 counts,two felonies one misdomeanor and the others were just traffic violations but they dropped the felonies. Would have been 17 points on my license.

You shoulda told them you had a party that night and a bunch of different people took the car out on several occasions that night. No way to tell who was driving. I know someone who did that once. You have the right to confront witnesses and the car was going that bust but who saw the driver?

it is a tach and i dont understand either cuz i know aftermarket tachs are more true then factory tachs because the tach wire is tied directly to the distributor or coil pack but the biggest difference I've ever seen was a 275 RPM difference not a 1000 RPM and that motor will be bouncing of rev limiter if its tached out like that

Its not a tach, it is and pyrometer, and tach wires run direclty to gauge clusters most of the time too.

I've been a passenger in a z06 hitting 165 on the street, scary when your a passenger
