So as it says.....How fast have you had your SHO up to? What differential do you have in it, 2.77 or 3.16 final drive? Looking to hear more from the tuned guys. How much boost?

I've had mine to 140mph at about 18 psi and it was slightly up hill when data logging...I was close to the top of 5th gear I have 3.16 FD...It was still pulling pretty good.

Oh really? Sorry I didn't know that....I figured most people tried it out at the track or at least somewhere in the Midwest where there are speed limit signs that say "reasonable and prudent". So there was no law breaking going on.

Mine was on a county airport runway so that's where I figured most guys were doing it.

I had to google IBTL.


I just thought it was something that people would want to know...Didn't really see the harm in it...Other forums talk about it all the time....Doesn't have to mean people are on public roads doing harm...Even if they were I don't see what that has to do with the forum.

I'm confused?

No worries. If you do it legal then that's all good. It's the not legal or potential legal fallout that can come from a thread that has people on edge. There was a thread just like this one before that went up in flames.

It's still a "tender" topic. Hah.

Unfortunetly there are protocols and guidlines to follow respectively twards the board and administrator,so in order we have to respect the rules and regulations terms of agreedments,thank you.

So maybe we should have a thread for fastest top speed at a controlled event on a closed track.  I don't see how that would be any different than posting 1/4 mile times.  People could also post info on such events. I would certainly be interested in seeing how fast I could get my SHO up to.

If you have the time and money there are events like this       

I'm surprised so many people would be offended by this thread.

I was browsing the "Kill of the day: ecoboost vs the world" and I was surprised to see all the talk about street racing. That's about as bad as it gets to some people. And I'm sure it's not happening in mexico. If you are cited for street racing where I live it's an automatic license suspension.

On Svtperformance there is a thread called smack down café and nothing is off limits. There are even people that reach out to people's work places and suggest that off duty law enforcement visit people's homes in an attempt to intimidate them.....I thought a top speed forum was pretty harmless lol.

Its not a matter of anyone being offended it just that certain moderators have safety and liability concerns for the forum  owner .

Sorry but I disagree. This goes on everyday, everywhere and on other forums. If I get caught speeding nobody will care about this forum thread. I and only I will be held accountable.

It's fine with me if forum owner doesn't like this on his forum, and that should be respected, but there is NO liability concerns for anybody except the perpetrator. So I apologize for starting the thread. But to say there is a liability concern is just a cop out so the owner doesn't have to say they are personally offended by this type of thread and behavior.

I read the moderator's view in the other thread just now and it is clear that they are offended by public speeding and felt compelled to give the reasons why.....Although they may be good reasons it's the prerogative of the people to do what they want and it's a shame we can't be entertained on the forum for the people that are curious.

If you lock things like this and liability is truly a concern I would get rid of Kill of the Day right away so forum owner doesn't lose any personal assets in a court proceeding and is viewed as street racing ring leader

So you're petitioning to get rid of kill of the day?



Rich

Lol the owner of the forum has a couple kills in kill of the day.

The moderators have the problem not the owner
