New top speed for my 2k2!

New top speed for my 2k2!
I bought a 93' rx7 in San Antonio Saturday. My bud Ed drove up w/me in the Max and I followed him back to Houston (Me in the Rex and He in the Max). On the way back some chick in a newer TransAm passed us doing about 115 mph, we were avg'in about 95-105. My friend is in front of me (the max had the radar) and he speeds up...I follow suit. Next thing I know, well after passing the TA (no pun intended), my rx7 is showing 140 mph, Ed's in front driving my max and we exited for gas. He said the Max had some more in it (it was showing 138 mph, no fuel cut!)...my RX7 was purring along at about 4900 RPM, redline is like 7500 rpm!! I know..even though clear roads and weather..still dangerous stuff...but d@mn that was fun!

Speeds in the '02
I managed to find a long enough stretch of Interstate that was empty one day and ran my car up to (a speedometer claimed) 130 in 5th gear a little below redline. I was wondering if anybody knows if the car will still accelerate through 6th gear or if it's geared too tall. I didn't have time to test that myself, I was coming up on a group of cars and had to brake.
If it will accelerate in 6th, is the '02 governed? I was thinking that I read somewhere that the stock tires are only rated to 145 and the car is obviously geared for more than that.
Also, what are some other current top speeds with the new 6 speeds or autos? 255HP stock is a nice start. I know I'm not the only one that's curious.

Cool, I thought I was gonna go with ya to check it out (but I guess you liked it....I know how you fall asleep on that 2.5 hour flat road from SA....
The NY/NY guys don't know what they are missing...Its so flat and boring on these roads, you can sleep for an hour, and never even change lanes.

BTW, there is a 93' FD in Houston for $13,800. It has a pretty new rebuild. You could probably get it for less than $13k. It would need around $1,500.00 to take care of various maintenance items, but could be a good deal. It is a touring edition (leather, s/r, bose, etc.) and I wanted the R1 for the sport upgrades (minor) and rarity...But I paid alot more than $13k! So far I love the car...but it will never have the package deal my Max offers!!!

Hawaii has no roads to do those kinds of speed. If you do, you're dumb and stupid. So many people die here because of high speeding in Hawaii. Its sad. Some people are good drivers, but Hawaii's road aren't made for those speeds with all the curves and no real straights with no cars.

Got to 155mph+ in 4th gen
With the mods I had, I hit 155mph+. That's when I looked down, but I kept pushing it a little more then shut it down. Very strang feeling going that fast. Cars seem to stand still.
A SHO decided to dance, so after I walked on him I just kept going. 3 lane highway with light traffic...
