~135mph. Anything over 90-100 is completely stupid on the road.

Question.

Does adding a turbo increase your top speed or just your acceleration?

This question actually better than the title of this thread

Engines don't top out at speeds, it's the tranny that will make the difference.
Turbo, yes, it increases both acceleration and top speed.

That's so sig worthy
Almost as good as "engines don't need an intake filter"


And to answer the topic: the GSR tops out in top gear

Why are you driving that fast and why do you want to go faster?



What's you full name? I'll be looking for it in the obituaries.

your top speed is based on your motor and transmission. You have to have power to top out some tranny's. Like i have a D16Y7 (DX) Transmission on my car. Its top speed is 175MPH. But in order to hit that speed the person who proved it had a built D on 26PSI from a Ebay T3/T04. It takes alot of power to go that fast because of both weight and drag on the vehicle. Most vehicles can do at least 110 these days. I remember when i first got my car and i tried to top it out on this super long empty street and I couldnt even hit 100. Now my car will accelerate to 100 like nothing. Although i rarely take it that fast because its stupid and pointless.
