Whats Your Evo Top-Speed?
Ok fellas, so I got a generally quick question for you guys. I was just curious to know how fast you guys got your EVO up to. Some of you with flashes probably were able to bump that speed up and whatnot.
REMINDER: I DON'T WANT TO KNOW IF THIS WAS ILLEGAL. AS FAR AS ANYONE IS CONCERNED ALL OF THESE TOP SPEEDS ARE ON A LEGAL, CLOSED COURSE, as to not violate forum rules.
Anyway, the fastest that I have ever been able to get up to was 135MPH and I was taking a corner (felt the tires give and had to slow down) that you wouldn't even consider a corner at 60.

I topped my car out between 150-160 (I was too busy watchign where I was going to get a better look). I was racing a modded new m3 (exhuast at least) on a closed course and we were basically tied in third and fourth gears, fifth gear inched up a little bit, and in 6th gear, totally walked him (he did NOT give up) at which point I hit a limiter and blew my lower IC pipe and lost total power going 155+!
The brakes were awesome and the car was totally stable slowing down using brakes only (couldnt engine brake) from that speed down to a stop on the shoulder, I mean pits.
The car did not slow down at all and had more left in her before limiting out.
As always, I dont recommend finding out the top speed for yourself unless you have a friend who owns a runway...

So, 155 is where the EVO's governor stops you from accelerating any more. Anyone with a flashed ECU have some speeds? Looks like there is a 164 and 167... Anyone breaking 170 or more?
