I have an '89 SI (5 speed) with 177,000 hard ass miles. It has primitive mods such as DC 2-1 Header, 2.0" mandrel bent exhaust, Apex N-1 muffler, Jet performance chip, Unorthadox Racing Underdrive Crank Pully, Weapon R Intake, coolant bypass, AEM True Time Gears, Mobel 1 SYN., Intracks 1.8 drop w/ tokicos, Ingals Camber Kit, 16" TSW's w/ Shitty Nitto 205/45/16's and custom rear deck spoiler, no air cond. and My Heavy Right Foot.

Our speed limit is 70 MPH here in Michigan and many times I have pushed the speedo to 140 and held it there for four or five minutes. This is probably not the true speed but is probably a real world gun speed of 130-132 MPH. The car sets in and starts to snug the road real nice. The stearing reashures confidence and the car seems to want more. Two years ago my girl and I were heading to Detroit for a concert (we live in Grand Rapids) and we tailed a Mitsubishi 3000 gt from Grand Rapids to Lansing with a full cooler of beer and a sound system with three 10' soundstream subs in the rear. The speedo was banging off 140 and the tach was well past redline sitting at around 7100 RPM. We past the 3000 (non turbo w/ exhuast and intake) and he follow us to get gas when we got into Lansing. He couldn't believe I wasn't running a turbo and asked to check the goods. When he saw that I was NA he shit his pants. The following week I had to replace my water pump. Strange coincidence It blew the bearing seal due to extreem and extended cavitation.
