yeah i know it is an auto... but that was so fun..... i dont know why my cruise control and battery light keep flashing.. but im not worried.. im running this car into the ground... as you can tell by the speed!... ohh and it was raining in them videos too 
im happy with my VE.. love it to death!
ohh and i didnt wire this car at all... i bought a car with a bad VE in it and swapped my 68k motor and tranny in it so i didnt have to wire ANYTHING... just plug it in!

Dude, thats nice but my maxima pulls around the same and its a VG..and yes I can get a vid for you if you want...it wont go past 125-130 as the SE gauges are different from the GXE...well I kinda swapped the 89-92 SE into my GXE so its still 125mph and the o/d is covered by speedo.. the last time I did 125...i got pulled over the next day for doing 44 on a 30...lucky it wasnt when I was doing 125 lol

there is a law on how fast I can go, but not how fast I get there

yeah.. i was thinking the motor wasnt giving all the *** it scould give me.. but what do i know, i used to own a VG... around 50-75 the VE really pulls.. but once in aa while i floor it and it feels ALOT worse than my old VG... i think it has some sort of problem... it only did it about 5 times....somethign may be clogged up so i dunno... and yes i was flooring it in the first 2 vids... the 3rd i wasnt becasue of traffic

so what highway in jersey were you on. i think that its better to stay off the highways for speed runs. i no plenty of places that all you have to worry about is deer. no cops no other cars. but good work vans good to see you got it all done.

Thats the point...its a good way to achieve adrenaline rush without the use of drugs...
by the way j/k so dont think I'm some sort of stupid moron lol..I guess it was a bad idea but can you blame the guy? he just got his car running and I know that feels like so all I'm gonna say is "I suggest you dont do that in the rain again my boy"

Nice, makes me miss my VE, and its sweet motor sound....but that is about as fast as my VG with I/Y/E it seems like or at least past 75.
My old VE with I/Y/E/UDP, really moved past 85. You need to buy some of my parts and swap a 5 speed, then you will have some real fun. My VE hit 143 on a normal street pretty quickly and that needle just buried. Only I ran out of road and came to a light...
Teenage testosterone makes us a little reckless, thank god my 240 has a 115 limiter...for now.

Ah yes...100mph+ on normal roads..havent had that pleasure yet, dont think I should though since I'm under 4 months of court supervision (yes my record is perfectly clean unless I screw in 4 months)...the most I did on my old 88 Accord was 90 and probably 100 or so on the Maximam but not on a daily basis..only if I'm in a hurry or if I gotta pee

Believe me, there is no comparison b/t what I listed and your video. My 65 - 95 is substantially faster than what you posted and my car really moves after 85.
I am not trying to be a jerk. I am trying to let you know what is possible. Keep up the good work.

anyways... i know it was stupid to do this in the rain, but i realized that AFTER I GOT DONE... as for stopping in the rain, i know its not good to stop fast in the rain....

this is correct.. a good way to get an adrenaline rush.. and yes i am a stupid teenager that sometimes does stupid things,, but in the 120MPH video, there was no one on the highway and it was past deptford..i just wanted to prove this to a couple people that i know that my car kicks ***.....if i took a pic they wqould hacve said i photochopped it
The vids were cool but you really NEED a 5spd and a VI to get the most out of a VE.

i also thought the VE could have gottten up to speed a little faster... the pedal was floored, so there may be something holding back power maybe?

I have been reading about the new Mercedes that are using a 7 speed automatic. The new S500 (might be sl500) makes less horsepower than its predecessor and, IIRC, it is heavier. But it is faster. All in the gearing.
Also, if you got a VE donor from an auto drivetrain, it doesn't have a variable intake. That makes a nice difference in power as well. If you don't have it, you can swap it on fairly easily.
And in the words of Matt Blehm, "the VE is a high string bitch". They are many things on it that go bad and cause you to have issues. Coil packs, fuel injectors, TPS, CTS, MAF, O2 sensor, bad grounds, CPS, general wiring harness corrision... You just have to keep troubleshooting until you figure it out.
