weird feeling

[S-FL camry]

i was going on the highway today and i floored the car.... o/d is on...... ect power is on (meaning pwr light on, old light off)

anyhow going it reaches 90, switches to 5th and is about 3,700rpm.. then all of a sudden drops to 3,500rpm and like slowly climbs back up

[Nick]

well first off, you don't have 5 gears if your tranny is automatic

it probably just slowed down a bit after the acceleration

what the hell are you doing at 90mph anyways?

[S-FL camry]

ah u are right, 4 gears...... i was driving home, i usually hit 115... handles well, and it was raining when i did this ANYHOW

so i guess nothing is wrong, just car doing some random shit

[Gen3cruiser]

What car do you have? Argh!

[S-FL camry]

i have a gen 3 93 5sfe....

any day where u dont hit 100.... is wasted


my dad has a 2004 mercedes e 500, the thing is sick... ive taken it to 150 on the highway where the computer kicks in and wont let me go farther =( 178 is the fastest ive driven a car.... friends hooked up porsche twin turbo

[a94autoCamry]

ur going 90 mph on the freeway when its raining?
oh man, i hope you got good-ass tires or eles
you be asking for a death wish.....
i'd only do 90-100 mph on dry... then just be aware of the cops

[S-FL camry]

i got new tires and new brakes last week...... AMAZING but ya definitely stupid going fast when raining, i was just in a rush

[nort0188]

Dude, if you're in such a rush every day that you have to do 115 on the highway, you need to loosen up your schedule.

[SolaraTRD]

dang, i used to do that, be all reckless. doing 90 isn't that fast to me. at 95 u start to feel something

The fastiest i ever gone was like 105 or 108mph maybe with the SOlara (5s-FE) But those days are over. I was young. Shit....

[a94autoCamry]

yea going fast is pretty dangerous lol
man, 1 wrong move, and BAM , thats the end of the car
i think the max i went on my gen3 1994 camry was like
115-120 , not sure tho... man i was afraid i was gonna
get caught by some cop, so i just simply let go of the gas pedal, and it went all the way down to like 75mph ish ~

when it rains, i'd only stay at 60mph , and i dont even dare going like 65 or higher, just too risky...

[grapefury]

back when i was crazy, 95 in the rain, 120 dry (mph for both)

but no more of that stuf now, i gues it got kinda old going that fast,

[a94autoCamry]

what i actually do now is drive like grandma on the freeway
when i come back from school, but this particular freeway
has like a downhill part where alot of people pick up speed so fast they wont even notice it, alot of been pulled over from the sneaky cops who hang out at the on-ramp entrance into the freeway, hehe... sneaky bastards -_-;;

i drive slow like at 65 mph' ish on the freeway,( cuz i want to see who wants to follow my behind or switch lanes, lol ) and then what really pisses me off is when some dude uses the slow lanes to go like 80mph , go to the freakin left lane you moron!
and another thing is when they dont even know how to signal when they make a lane change...err that ticks me off , lol
i admit i switch lanes also sometimes w/o signaling , but i signal like 80% of the time.....
but another funny thing is when they switch lanes and they also came upon another slow poke person and would have to break all hard... muahha... yea take that u bastard
anyways if someone were to crash into me on the freeway, yep ur gonna be the one at fault

Hey Guys and Gals, Im new to this forum and i thought this was an interesting thread to start with. For everyone that knows Toronto, I was going down Bathrust St (North of Elgin Mills) going about 210 KM/h (130 Mph). Thats the fastest I've gone in my 93' Cam V6. Not very scary since i didn't notice until my buddy goes to me that we hit 210! Then i got all giddy!

I dunno 2 much about trannys, gears or engines but from what little I know:

Back on Topic: I think its going down because when u have Over drive off, you disable your 4th gear and your car only goes up to your 3rd. Going 100 in 3rd isn't the smartest thing to do. And when u let go of the gas, the car will slow down a lot faster because that gear isn't meant for that high of a speed. Try putting ECT on and OverDrive on. I think what happened is normal.

Eh it depends where you drive, I can understand going that fast if you must go a flat straight road every day with no traffic. To get to school (I live on campus) I have to go on a highway called the 217, its essentially a perfectly flat and straight highway that goes for about 2 miles. Ive hit 135mph many, many times on that highway (usually around 1-2 in the morning when nobody is around) before the fuel cuts off. I have a s/c V6, so luckily it doesnt take long to get going that fast. I would be scared going 120 in a 4banger though, wouldn't it take forever to get it up that high?

But basically, all i'm saying is, its not necessarily THAT unusual depending on where you are driving every day.
