How fast have you gone?

How off do you think the speedo's are at that speed? Can you send a link to a GPS unit that will give you an accurate measurement?
a week after I calibrated my SpeedOHealer.
just about ANY GPS made within the past few years will suffice. low end models start near 100.00 retail ..... less on eBay.
Hey Chris there was a thread around here a year ago or so that had some rough numbers. Any GPS will work but Shortboarder has the best set up Ive seen.
Yes. You just need to make or purchase a stand to mount a GPS unit.
Which is faster, your busa or the Mustang? I can't imagine a car would be faster than a Hayabusa?
the car has been 8.40's @ 165+
now w/ the turbo on the bike....prolly the bike.
The car has pulled lengths on 300+ hp busa's from a roll, though
I did around 167 on the speedo on a stretch of road not far from me. I rode up and down this stretch of road 4 times before I did the run, checking for any debris that might effect the bike. This stretch of road is what will eventually be an Interstate skirting the city of Indianapolis. There is not a lot of traffic on it and it has been open less than a year. It is a 2-3 mile straight stretch that "T"s and I started to worry after the needle passed the 160 mph mark about wether I could safely get it stopped safely or not. I chose to err on the safe side and backed off.
dunno bout that one....even with 1300HP ... a stang just doesn't have the aeros for it......
plus if it's a drag setup to run 8.40s in the 1/4 ....then it likely has something like 4.70 gears. where with about a 6~7K rpm redline.....you would never see much over 150....unless that mustang has a 12K redline?
to run 195mph....you would need somewhere around 2.50 gears... because you are looking at bonneville speeds for street cars.
you said you ran out of gear?

i am guessing around 200 i burried my speedo and kept going for a bit just for kix 
i am making 200 hp and 110 lbs of torque so who knows how fast i was going but it was sweet
i am making 200 hp and 110 lbs of torque so who knows how fast i was going but it was sweetwhen I say drag setup, I mean just the suspension.....I have friends who have stangs that run low 7's in the 1/4 @ 190-195, so dont say a stang isnt aero.equipped to do so.dunno bout that one....even with 1300HP ... a stang just doesn't have the aeros for it......

One guy right now is running over 200mph IN THE 1/4 w/ a full sheetmetal bodied(except) hood 93 notch.....so it IS possible....and by the way.....my car shifted @ 6700rpm.....not 12,000
now THAT would be an impressive time slip to see
