140 in 4th gear... maybe your exagerating a little.... your probably choking the ---- out of your engine.... 5th gear maybe... but still... and 123hp with all those mods? it must be fucked up or out of tune or something because with all those mods its still below stock levels (D16Z6 125HP) .... I think your shitting everyone.... you gotta have like Z rated tires. good *** suspension.. it has to be aligned just right or your *** is gonna end up smeared out on the road.....

the d16z6 is rated at 125. but thats at the flywheel. if you dynoed a bone stock d16z6 you would get like 80hp at the wheels you loose about 40%. so those bolt ons gave it about 40hp more than stock. and if you are racing up to 65 mph you are racing for about 8-10 seconds.
I know its stupid to drive that fast. I'm definatly not arguing that. but lets say youre just cruising on the freeway, and some punk comes up beside you in a mustang 5.0 and revs on you. you both get on it a little bit and even w/ youre 10 lbs of boost you barely pull on him. you reach 120 within seconds and you get youre *** handed to you because he can go a little faster. that sucks

do any off you guys know how to bypass the governor?

if you pull on him, even barely. YOU WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if he had extremly long legged gears and could go 200mph he still LOST. cause you pulled on him till 100 and quit!

YOU WIN!

40% drivetrain loss? holy ---- what are you smoking? FWD's are around 15%, so thats around 85hp to the wheels.

4th gear at 140? must have been a incredily long geared tranny. I can justify the speed, but not the gear, sure it wasnt 5th?

It was defenitly in 4th at about 7500rpm when shifting into 5th it just started to slow down and wouldnt pull any more. the last time I did it I was on my way to work and one of the guys I work with was right beside me in an old *** camaro. we were both maxed out messing with a newer camaro ss then the ss flew past us like we were sitting still he had to be goin like 160+ My tranny broke and so did my freinds.

now both their trannies "broke" at the same time.

i don't think a new ss camaro will go 160+ and you have would have to have an amazingly long straight away to get going that fast if it could. camaros aren't made to go 160 you would probably crash trying. especially on a shitty surface (non race track).
