Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 21y 4m 17d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 07/09/08 09:12 AM Share Posted 07/09/08 09:12 AM never attempt this in a stock T anywhere, anytime , unless you have a few ks run off and heaps of width. Brakes nowhere good enough , neither the suspension. Even in a Phoon with Brembos, stock ,these big taxis behave exactly like big floating boats under brakes from high speed, and as stated before, white knuckles all the way pulling the farker up. Don't trust Fords standard enginering to hold together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI! Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 6m 17d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 07/09/08 09:27 AM Share Posted 07/09/08 09:27 AM PHANTMXR6,How did your car feel at these speeds? Solid or sketchy.I'm not sure how confident I would be to want to go much fast than this in a stock FGT if it was able to go faster. Much faster than this would have to be the limit of the brakes, Downforce etc.BennyQuite comfortable actually. Road and wind noise was at a more than acceptable level.I've got a stretch of road that is approx 8kms in length and is dead straight and flat.No cars coming in either direction.It wasn't a very breezy day either and I would imagine a little bit of movement with wind at those speeds though.I have complete confidence in my car at that speed due to the tyres being very grippy, brakes were acceptable when used ( normally just coast down to highway speed from high speed ) in my opinion, but the biggest thing is how confident as a driver you feel and the confidence you have in your car.As for me, I have that confidence.

rockafellqeinstien Member 325 Member For: 16y 5m 13d Posted 07/09/08 11:32 PM Share Posted 07/09/08 11:32 PM On a slightly rtelated topic, I drove a EB II that wasn't speed limited but had the one piece driveshaft and lets just say at a bit over 200kmh certain seals let go and transmision fluid went all over exhaust. result = lots of smoke= bad. This was done in the NT in the good old days. I guess there is a reason for speed limiters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a limit of 230km/h sounds about right. This was not on a highway, so no flaming required. Jonesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
