Hit the rev limiter in 5th in my stock '90 miata down a really steep hill, which is 136mph or 219km/h (calculated using tire size and gearing, not looking at the speedo). Done a similar speed indicated on my motorbike, but I know the speedo overreads and it was more likely 120mph.
I have a friend who hit the limiter in his turbo miata on the same hill, which with his longer final drive ratio is 155mph, only thing is he was going UP the hill
Reason you probably got so fast (apart from the V6) is the low drag coeffienct those things have! its something like 0.21 (whatever its measured in! ill try and find a link to back up wotever it is im saying, as im not to sure what im going on about myself)
I think I was able to get 160km/h on Saab 99 2.0 and something around 180-190km/h on Nissan Sunny 1.6, but that thing was horrible to drive past 120km/h.
Fastest I've traveled as a passenger was something +200km/h on my friend's M-B 190E Cosworth, that was scary as hell since he tends to be bit reckless.
Yep, 2.5 24v V6 from Opel Omega, but I guess it wasn't very popular choise since 2.0 16v Turbo had more horsepower.
Your dad should be burnt for having such a pityful machine
I PITY YOU THOUGH. It sooooo would NOT be cool if he took you to school, and all your mates saw what a shitty family car you have
Haha my sister always try's to get me to drop her at school in my subie lol because to drop them off you have to drive throught the middle of the school and you come out the other side...
Speaking of which, I got the chance to roll up at school in my (not quite, it'll go under my name when I get my license) Supra. It sure as hell shut my friends up when they talk about "nice cars" It's not even that special, just a turbo-back 3.5" system, nearly stock 1JZ, a coil-over kit and shiny 17's wrapped in Toyo rubber...

HA! i once got droped of at school in a twin turbo hq ute its pretty much a street legal drag car, 720kw at the flywheel (i thinks?) had a NOS bottle on the tray to top it off!
