AE86 max speed???

[Voodoo.Priest]

What is the max speed of an AE86 GT-S?
I know the max rpm is about 7,500 but I never bother to try and see what the max speed was in fear of getting caught speeding. I got her up to 165 km/h once briefly and quickly went back down to 120 km/h.

I tried 200 once, it takes awhile to get there, and is on a nice dry cool night

once it gets to 140-160ish, it would accelerate really slow

and with +and- 10% - 15%, top speed should be around 170 180 ish

of course that's the question that arises a week after he got his license...

185-55-14
at 7200 rpm the speedo should show over 200

Im not too sure about an AE96 but i know my AE101 has a true top speed of 227km/h@6500rpm.

i've taken my ae92 upto 210 with a few revs to go so i'd think ae86 should do atleast 201

[boroEF]

taken my 96whp ae92 205+ and it still was going.
shut down cos i saw a cop :p

180, had my foot to the floor, woudln't go any faster.

dont remember the rpm either, couldnt take my eyes off the road.

[varietta]

i went 130 on the highway once. hahahaha

i've been in one going close to 200. the driver didn't feel safe going any faster. his car didn't have brakes.

Last time when I came back from shannoville, I did 205km/h with 7300rpm on 195/55/14

I had my AE92 to 205km/h before.. could it be the RWD factor that is slowing down the 86's?? maybe their engines are just older.. but they should pull the same.

you running T1S or Dunlops?

[Lafora]

of course ifyou know the circumference of ur tires, you should be able to calc ur road speed if you also know your final gear ratio, ur rpm, and ur "current" gear ratio right?

that's how i figured out my 200 btw..not like i'd go that fast ever

[Cor_LOW_la]

Remember you were following us last year coming back from London going close to 200?

Yea that's when your alternator/battery went. :o
