200+ in my ca ute, get it to about 180 on the drag strip

Mine will sit in between 140 & 150 happily for awhile. It won't crack 150 though!!

In my old stocker 120Y I used to sit on 140 on the highway, used to have to stop every 1/2 hour when the motor boiled and let it cool down a bit
My new stocker 120Y (auto) is uncomfortable with anything over 90, but will top 120 if need be

180ks n cruiseing.....hot a15 plus a dellow gearbox conversion= a fast ute!

160km/h most of the way in a stock, leaky, 1200 4 speed sunny.
on one of those 'gotta get home' missions at 3 in the morning. many straightish roads, many RPM

Did the speedo limit in the XXXSEX before the CA conversion (with the 1200 engine i can't give away!) which is probably 160km/hr (100 mph) and i did 7000 revs in 5th after the CA conversion (with a silvia dash cluster that didn't work other than the tacho and temp gauge - what else do you need?) and a silvia box and R31 LSD.

Obviously both on 'private' roads.

(As an aside i once got over-taken by a Triumph Daytona on 1 wheel while i was doing 170km/hr out near Muswelbrook on a Coal & Allied road!)

178Km / 110 mph at Willow Springs Raceway........it's down hill and a 1/2 mile run from turn 6 to 9. Normally my car will never see more than an actual 95 MPH at most tracks.

Ive had that coupe off the clock Shmity! It loves it, ive had it near taking off coming down the freeway.

just past 90 mph which i suppose is around 140ish kmh. forth gear screaming not something you should do often in a stock A12

is it bad to be sitting on 110-120 in a 4 speed 1200 at high revs for a while for highway use???
