How fast have you gone; in your metro?

189 GPS verified. Not the Suzuki.

105 mathematically in the Swift when it was stock. Probably about 110 after the swap. Got there pretty easily. Calculators say it should do about 120. I believe it.

Lol.


An srt4 at 120 is more stable than my Swift at 90

I was utterly concerned about my ability to reach excessive speeds. My goal was 88mpg, for when my flux capacitor comes in. I broke 88 on flat ground and that's all I felt comfortable revving her. I need a tach so badly!

I hit 80 coming home from seattle pinned to the floor giving her all she has. My buddy heard my car over his street bike and the wind in his helmet. I probably could have gone faster.. But it got sketchy

Got a ticket when I was 16 for doing 96mph on I-64. Luckily a friends mom worked in the courthouse and the ticket disappeared. It was in my 91 metro base in 1993.

I am the one on the left.

Not sure how fast I've had dinky, but my fuel economy sucks right now. 38 mpg trip average doing 85-90 most of the way.
How the heck do you guys get such gret economy?!?!
:p
Just kidding, I know how to get better economy:)

They'll sure do it, bone stock. Dodge says they electronically limited them to 146. They did not.

I've hit 100 flat. I know once you get up high it seems like it's still going and going but for every 2 seconds your gaining like 1mph. I hit 90(last on my odemeter, by a mark) and waiting about 1 minute and let off the gas. straight highway,
