161 on the dyno in 3rd spinning it to 7200 rpm. Been about 155-160 on the highway racing a procharged 03 cobra, and I'm still alive.

OK so here are my tall tales

Using mile markers and a stop watch, we figure 155mph in a 91 GMC sonoma, according to the gear ratio and tire size should be really close. Took about a mile and a half to get there. 4000-4500 rpm, 2.73 gear, .69-.72 fifth gear, P235/65R15. The trip was from the Knoxville\Gatlinburg area to the Nashville/Rivergate area. We made the in 2 hours flat, that includes 45 minutes of dead stopped traffic, sitting on the tailgate eating lunch selling drinks to other drivers out of the cooler in the bed. For those that know the area, you know I was cookin to make it that fast.


I know I hit 128mph, (much slower feeling then the above), in a 96 gmc jimmy, thanks to mr hypertech. Also, got in trouble with my dad, borrowed his gps/radar detector combo unit, didn't know it saved top speed. I passed my friends in the church van going to an activity going 105 mph in that truck. They thought it was cool, my Dad didn't.


120-130 mph in a 04 mustang gt (mine), 05 pontiac GTO (test drive), 07 cadillac CTS (test drive).


The real fun came in my 89 GMC Jimmy. I had just lifted it with 32x11.50x15's (stock tire was a 215/70R15), and friend called and said her car broke down about an hour away. I got her car fixed and headed home. The whole time on the interstate my speedo was between 85 mph and pegged which is like 89. I passed a cop and he never moved. Normally from interstate exit to exit took me 20-25 minutes running 80 mph, I made from exit to exit in like 4-5 minutes. Trugging along the hwy, now realizing my speedo was off for me to make it that quickly, I was doing about 48 on the speedo in a 55 mph. A cop stopped me, and told me I was doing 72MPH!!!!! I ask him to clock me again after he wrote out the ticket, I drove exactly 30mph on the dot, he said I was doing 55-ish and said I wasn't holding constant speed, despite the speedo saying I was.

He got kinda excited at the color I changed. He asked if I was ok because I turned pure white. I informed him that I had just gotten off the interstate, and I only told him the speedo was sitting on 75 mph, I didn't want to push my luck with him. After he saw how freaked out I was, he tore up the ticket. I took this pic of the truck the next morning.



Not what you would call a speedster. I dont know what the math figures out to I have never done it. Bone stock 89 GMC jimmy 4.3L, 3.08 gears behind a 700r4 on 32's. I would guess the motor to have been running around 3000-3500 rpm on the interstate. I don't know what the final drive ratio is on the 700r4.

It was crazy, aside from bouncing on bumps, it was a relatively smooth ride. After that, I used my dad's before mentioned radar/gps unit when driving on the HWY.

Stopped at 150 in a basically stock integra gsr, and 98-100 in the tahoe ( damn speed limiter )

129mph at the top of 3rd with 4.10s. The speed sensor started going erratic at that point, so I stopped, but I was out of gear anyway. Probably won't ever do it again.

94 dodge 3/4 ton 5.9 gas was 118 (clocked by a sheriff friend)
in my 01 GMC RCSS, it was at 131 (GPS) before we decided to slow down (and got a ticket clocked at 98 ),
my 01 Dodge 1500 4x4, going down a BIG BIG hill, It hit 115, and on 35s, thats moving. hit brakes very quickly after I saw 115. never doin it again.
then in my 05GT...Speedo maxed at 148, and its sat on that peg, while I watched the RPMs keep rising til it got to 6250, and I let off. so idk how fast I might have been going. Any estimates? We were figuring 160ish. (desolate, super straight smooth state road, with no traffic. almost ever, and 20miles to the nearest town.)
Wont try the 03 silvy DD.

Ok cttandy, after hearing your 28mpg story in your R10, I'm curious how you managed 155mph in an S10? (let alone the rest of those).

When I find his phone number, I will send you, the guys phone number that was with me in the S-10. He left a message for me last night but I don't seem to have his current cell number. As I said, we did the best we could with a stop watch and mile markers, also figuring the total distance and time it took to travel it. We can't pin point an exact speed, as I pretty well mentioned. With P225/70R15, that very s-10 would idle at 70mph. You could shift through all the gears and never touch the gas, and it would idle at 70 mph. It was geared very high, had a 2.8L with heads and a cam from the previous owner, had a chip from me, and from what 2 mechanics told me a transmission from what appeared to me a V8 camaro.

We were racing a V6 firebird and a V6 mustang, not much of a feat, but they said the governors shut off their engines around 125mph, and I was leaving on them extremely hard.

The land speed record for a s-10 is 213mph, and it had a V6 bored to a 5.0L, camaro 5 spd and a 3.08 or 2.73 rear. Now I never said I went any where near that fast, and I also mention it took me a mile and a half. Don't see whats so skeptical to you. A 150 hp 2300 lb truck geared super high, not a big deal. Yeh, I weighed it on the landfill scales.


The black jimmy, was far from stock. It would clean 5.3L RCSB clock all day long and not break a sweat. And as I mentioned in another post the black jimmy and the multi-colored jimmy pictured in that post would both get about 25 mpg on the interstate. The multi-color jimmy, was the anti-fast truck. Everyone made fun of how slow that truck was, but once at a constant speed, with the gears and big tires, it took very little to maintain that speed, once again not much more then an idle. once you stuck it in lowrange, you were good for lots of mud slinging. Feel free to crunch the numbers on the gear ratios and tires size and you will see I am telling the truth. I don't know for certain the 4th gear ratio in that particular 700r4 but I assume it to be in the 1.0-.80 area that is typical for most GM overdrives.

I don't see why you would question the 3 performance cars I listed, nothing particularly specail there, in those particular cars.

Oh, one more thing, I will see if I can still find my copy of that ticket doing 72mph in a 55mph. Although, I am sure if you have already made you mind up that I am a liar, you won't believe it anyway.
