I did 245 with the supercharger on a flat straight line and no wind between london a windsor.... :lol: no need to say the honda civic got all his spare change and was far behind... he did give me thumbs up.... that was one honda that realized a focus could eat him alive if done well... btw, he was the one who wanted to race, I showed him who was the boss...
and I did also 235 with the NA zx3 when it was fully done. ;)

Between 250 and 255km/hr in the 87 Saab 9000 Turbo my parents used to have (dad was at the controls)...
Also been upto 300km/hr in a modded 86 RUF 911 Turbo that was dyno'ed at 500hp and 425 ft/lbs @ the wheels with only 1 turbo and only an enlarged intercooler and some tuning...
Oh yeah, and only 170 in the ZX3, which sucked because I was getting into the HP sweetspot and the car was pulling very well upto the 'Gov...

i remmeber one night it was raining out. buddy tried to pass me in the rain... hit the gas too hard... ended up spinning backwards into oncoming traffic.

Even non SC cars t-birds are squirly... rain or what ever. I wonder if it is because of the width, or the IRS, or how the weight is distributed... its weird, for a big car like that. I have driven and rode in more than a handful and my stangs are more solid than these cars. :o
