Looks pretty awesome! So you really got it to 150mph?

How does it feel at those speeds?

ridnlow · April 18, 2007

Well we didnt quite get to 150.. it was still pulling but my buddy let out of it.. I have been in a few cars that we've done 140+ in and surprisingly the TBSS feels as good if not better.. It feels a whole lot better than a 350z that for sure..

That is scary fast, I would be too afraid of getting busted to try to go that fast, granted there is no way for my truck to go that fast anyway.

I've had mine close to that speed (speedo only goes to 140) and I didn't think it was all that bad either, considering what it is (a brick).

I just wonder what would have happened if it had actually shifted into 4th gear. Mine won't go into 4th at WOT at those speeds, no matter what I do.

It is in the tune.. we made his shift to 4th... It was cutting the fuel though as you can see the tps is at 71% but he had the pedal burried.. so.. weve got more to work on..

I figured as much...I saw the TPS, then noticed the fact that the RPM is WAY low for that speed in 3rd gear.

TOO fast? You can never have TOO much fast!

If you know the road, there's nobody on it, and no way for something to get in your way....It's not too fast if the only person you're endangering is youself.

....what did you do 140mph in...?

Wingnut · October 10, 2007

Both the original poster (and me) did it in a Trailblazer SS.

Here is mine at the end of a 1/4 mile run at the drag strip. I rarely take it higher than 90 on the street. EDIT: This is in a Silverado SS.

Two things, do you do this for a business, and if so where are you?

Hi, My name is Mark, I have an 06' tb ss. I have a story for you. My girlfriend and I were going down the road when a ninja 750 flicked us the bird, for no reason, wasn't tailgating him, didn't know him, but I did know one thing, I'm going to chase him. He turned left and so did I. It was a long road so I guess he figured he would flick me off and be gone, nope don't think so. I punched the gas and never let off. He was running the gears and so was I. My girlfriend was hitting my right arm and saying your going to wreck him stop it. Nothing was giving me more pleasure than seeing this guy looking over his shoulder, then under his left arm wandering why the hell is there an suv on my ass. The speedometer was buried 145 and the power was still setting me back in the seat. My girlfriend still yelling stop just let him go, then I noticed his arm letting up on the throttle, I was only 5 feet from his bike, I wipped it to the left and kicked it down he re-punched the throttle and now we were side by side, It gave me the chance to flick him off. I couldn't get around him but guess what he couldn't get away from me either. I then let off and let him go I'm sure he was puzzled and maybe he'll think twice about these ss suv's. I don't know what the top speed is on these but the speedo was buried for 3 miles, I didn't have a chance to look at the tach, I was a little busy.
