My ute is good for 160 and it is still stock, mind you thats ringing its neck. And you get some strange looks from falcons etc that are doing 130-140 and you go around them. It's what I call the WOW factor.

i had my old 1200 sedan with A14 cam extractors/exhaust carby off the clock right down in the dash so i couldn't even the needle in 4th gear at about 7200rpm. i probably wouldn't do it again becoz i have grown up since then (i think)

My old 1200 coupe could do 6000 rpms in forth. One day I held it there for a long time indeed. Later on the same trip , I went down a long downhill straight I had the needle pointing straight down. It was valve bouncing its nuts off.

i heard of a guy once....

he had an a15 back round to just before it hits the stop pin at 0, and this was just down a main street between intersections, but inaccuricies in his speedo would suggest this was about 180km/h

apparently he has turbo now so maybe he can bend the needle around the stop pin

A question. Would larger rims put out your speedo by it reporting a greater speed than actual? and also, what does a pretty much stock A15 in a 1200 get up to with a 4speed? and how much more would you get out of an A12 with a sunny 5speed (i know its been discussed many a time before)
