I'm not convinced.tongue.gif There's no way you hit above 130 in a bone stock Tib. Especially stock AUTO. 120 is more realistic.

How can you go over 125, don't we have a rev limiter? My car stopped at 125 at about 6k, still had some to go, but limiter kicked in, so I let off. Mods with that 5spd tib are i/h/e/bbtb.

Now, I hate to contradict myself, but it's weird, because I hit 129 exactly in my old stock auto tib, and no limiter kicked in.
What's the deal with that?

Don't know if my speedo was off but I didn't hit any rev limiter and my buddy witnessed the speedo at 130. I think I was at 5800 or 6k rpms when I was at that speed. The only thing done was I have a K&N drop in filter

Doodes.

I didn't believe all the 130mph claims (specially on autotragics)...but I just went out on runway 21L here in Prescott.


...lmao.gif

and just to see what I could do, I floored in to like 46.5K rpms and hit 160!! wall.gif

ATC gave me clearance for left traffic, I entered the traffic pattern and landed at 180KIAS (knots, indicated airspeed). SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK.

The FAA said it was a new record for a tib. nana.gif

so all yalls hoez got owned.gif by my 180mph tib-YOO-ron. B-Iatch.

Fellas, you are all welcome to post your top speed, but we don't need to know on what road you were driving and so on. Warnings will be issued if you won't following the rules smile.gif

There is a way to kill this thread.. and it is tempting to o hit the "close thread" button.. because truthfully, I am sick and tired of this BS too.

That said.. What is the Tib's stall speed, Patreezy?

I personally feel that posting about your top speed when you passed a truck on a public highway is just as bad as street racing post.... this would've been locked if I was given permission...
