    A highway pull on 13ts

    I was just looking through my youtube videos and came across this one again.

    It was somewhere over 170 according to the speedo, which of course isn't accurate at all. I couldn't get a GPS lock on my phone that night so I have no idea what the real speed was, but whatever speed it was, its' one hell of a rush. It was somewhere well into 5th gear on a 6-speed with 18s.

    I'm thinking I might delete this one soon due to legal concerns. Though this doesn't compare to 185 in my stealth on that closed course in mexico.

    Our speedos are pretty accurate really. At most, it would have been about 5mph off at those speeds for a 5 speed, and even less for the 6 speed.

    Thats a sweet vid.

    Its so funny, after going fast like that even if you slow down to 100 mph it seems sooooo slow. Highway speeds are a crawl.

    'till you hit something.

    +1 for speedo was probably accurate. Highest I've GPS'd is 135 and it was spot on.

    It was sandwiched between the passenger headrest and seat, worked out pretty well. I'm going to make some sort of roll-cage mount for it once I get the cage in.

    Nice video! I love how you just pick up your camera, snap a pic of the speedo, and check it over at 150+mph like it was nothing hahaha. I got a good laugh out of that.

    Yeah that is fast. I got my stealth to go 175 and I dont think I will do it again cuz it freaked me out. I had more to go but stopped.

    Hmmm. my 5 Speed reads off. but its a percentage off. speedo reads 60 im traveled 57 (gps confirmed) speedo reads 85 im actually going 80, 110 is actually 104, 135 is actually 128.

    So im actually reading around 5% fast. Not terrible, but means that on a top speed run of 160+ is really like 150+. Not a huge difference, and nothing that Im worried about since I rarely do over 140. 140 is hauling ass btw. It feel weird to slow back down to 70 and feell like you aren't moving
