fun fun....i am to chicken to drive that fast...my insurance is high enought..i cant imagin what it would be like with a reckless driving ticket on it...:eek:

[Eric94GT]

You guys are petty gullable. Why do you think I only got the tach?

I've been to 120, didn't have a camera with me though.

[rebby]

yeah, taht's eric in his driveway w/his foot on the clutch... :lol: :lol:

[Eric94GT]

Yep, actually its in the parking lot @ work. You do as much as you can when you get to borrow a digital camera for ten minutes or so.

My best was 120. I did it about 3 times. redlined 4th and quit. This was when I left work in shakopee around 3 am. It was on the 169 bloomington ferry bridge. That was before I had my radar detector......I wouldn't do that now, even with the detector. Because now they have cops on 169 all the time.

I saw you at Valley Fair last year, is that where you work? How much do they pay you your first season of working there? Do you only get crappy jobs your first season? When are they hiring? I'm gonna need a lot of hours this summer to pay for my car and I heard Valley Fair is the place.

[MN Probe GT]

I didn't work there last year. It was a few years ago. I worked 40-80 hours a week there. first year I got something like $7.10 an hour (it was really $6.10, but they gave you an additional dollar for every hour at the end of the season) then the games department (where I worked) got a raise so it was $7.55/hour. I wouldn't work there. A lot of hours are available, but you could easily find a job for more than $8/hour.

Curt, Remember the time we had the Civic doing 125 north to the track meet behind a lexus on I35 at about 3:30 in the afternoon? Then we pissed him off, and from 125 he walked away from us like we were standing still. What was that he was driving?

I've got a pic of my sable doing 110. The speedo too, but I can't find it. That car could go a lot faster if I took the limiter out of the computer prog.

you pussys at 140 im just creeping up on 7,000 rpm and i have brought it pertty well past that too

When I got my top speed of 138mph I wasn't even trying to do it. I was on a back road off of 42 in Rosemount and was at about 120 comming up on lights and decided to just keep going because if it was a cop there would be know way that he would of caught me. I was up to 130 mph over railroad tracks and hit 138 and had to slow down it was pretty crazy espically when your going over tracks that fast.

I always thought that there was a govenor on the 96-97 GT's because my dad had a GTS about 4 years ago and I remeber hitting 125 and bouncing off the govenor??

[MN Probe GT]

Nope.......no governor on GTs. The base and SE had governors at 110 or 120 because of the H rated tires they came with.
