Nah 287 is on the NJ side of the Outerbridge.
When I cruise back from LI to SI I usually do about 80 on the belt. The BQE is 278 On a side note if you aren't busy thurs night there is a meet out at Hooters in East Meadow. -mike |

Mines a 92. Trust me, stock they will not do over 143, 145 at best. This I'm sure is due to some kind of govenor. If anyone knows how to remove it I'd like to know how. BTW Landshark my 80 928 was the 4.5 liter 5 speed (143 Max) quite a bit slower than your 5.0 liter S4.

Charlie was there that day. He saw it I think. I wish it was the tissue. That did blow the head gasket or bend the block.

I nailed appx 145 a few times in my attempt to go from taunton mass to wentworth New Hampshire in 1 hour instead of 2 and a half. Bye the time I got there, (67 mins later), I felt like my grandma was driving when I was doing 65-70. I said hey, where's all the wind resistance and ear popping?

Do you know how many RPM you were pulling? I think the '92's have a governor! |

Not to sure about rpm's. I do remember my foot being pretty hard down, but I never checked my foot position, rpm, and speed all at once. I don't think she would go much faster than that. I will tell ya tho, my engine was running excelent when I was done with that drive, guess I had some goo in there.

Fastest my SVX has gone so far is 218...did that a couple weeks ago after installing my tranny temp gauge. (I wanted to see what the tranny temp would go up to )
For those who haven't realized yet I'm talking kph and not mph. For those who don't want to do the conversion I mean 135mph. Tranny temp was around 180°F at that speed. Anything after 125mph (200kph) and the shift to 4th and I'm barely accelerating. I found that if I leave the shifter in 3rd it will not shift until 130mph (210kph) and that's how I managed to pull the extra top speed. I don't think I want to go any faster though as my tires are only rated for 130mph.
