Impressive... but NOT something to do at night. I'm all for exploring the limits, but. Your headlights give you a safe driving range up to about 60mph. Beyond that, you can't see what's out in front of you (and in your way). A chunk of truck tire carcass, debris, dog, etc. would put you 6 feet under. Not worth the risk at night, IMHO.
You also have to consider something else if you just have to find out how fast your C4 will go... you're pushing a machine in which EVERY part is over a quarter of a century old. Unless you've been through it with a fine tooth comb, changed ball joints, tie rod ends, suspension bushings, etc, etc, I WOULDNT recommend a run like this. at 120 plus, ONE broken suspension part will end your life, PERIOD.
I agree with what you're sayin man. I'm even cautious with my 95 trans am. Just had the engine rebuilt, ballanced and blueprinted, and installed a mild cam, and have yet to take it past 100, seeing as the suspension components still have over 200.000 miles on them. I'd love to see 155 in it,but it ain't worth dyin for.
Lol that's not going to happen. Not to say it can't break, but just because it's old don't mean it will. Before I did a engine swap in my '80 Camaro, I pushed that car beyond it's limits and it did just fine.
This corvette was a 92 through 96, you can tell by the fact that the speed is displayed above the fuel on the digital readout. Hardly a 25 year old vette, Save the warning for C3 owners, that vette was true muscle, C4's had the ability to take corners at a reasonable speed making them an actual sports car and are much better quality. C3s are still totaly badass though and I'm not knocking them at all.
........ nah your theory sucks and is a fail. these people with these cars push speeds like this all the time, and going this fast is no big deal, when i rode 750 gixxers and 1000 gixxers when i was in the military we would be routinley at 160 plus to 180 on a weekley basis. of course we where in florida where the roads let us do it and the cops and few and non to be seen.
I love the 'hybrid' dash. One time a young kid was checking out my '96, then he turns to me and asks, "How come your speedometer only goes to 8?" lol.
I'm so glad somebody put this up, I got my 84 vette up to 155 with a passenger with me (my best friend who passed away a couple of years ago) and some people (magazine racers/mechanics) swear it will only run 140 mph. Some of us who have actually DRIVEN an 84 corvette can tell a different story. If they're running right, a crossfire is NOT a slow car, despite it's reputation.
I wasn't looking at this video very close, it's kind of hard to see it, but this car has a different dash in it than an 84. It's newer, but it doesn't matter.
Nice run but which engine did it have? I want to venture it had the L98 tuned port motor with an automatic as the speed to rpm's would be right. But that looks like a 94-96 dash cluster which means it would be an LT-1 engine and in that case even with the automatic a stock LT-1 will hit 165mph. I know, I've been there a long time ago when my LT-1 was still bone stock. Cool video though, I don't know if I'd be doing that at night vs. the day, what if a deer ran out in front of you? Ouch!!!
if a deer runs out in front of you at 155 mph in broad daylight, the only thing you can do is hope you're going to end up landing somewhere soft, like a huge completely random pit full of foam blocks and feather pillows, haha.
Or you can hope that the deer is big enough that you can slide underneath it. ha ha As far as your other comment about an 84 Vette hitting 150 plus, check out my video on here of my restored 84, like you said if the Cross Fire is clean and adjusted and running proper then the car will have no problem hitting that speed. It is when the engines are not running correctly like 95% of 84's left out there are. That is how they got such a bad rap. I can toast many new cars at the lights with my 84.
I have the privledge of owning a 96 LT4 here in florida,..I had the car about a month and got it up to 173 MPH...although I am quite sure I, or my Vette will ever see that type of wind resistance again....02
"Red Line Limited" I believe the actual device is called a "Rev Limiter" and almost all cars have them they keep the vehicle from revving over a certain RPM in certain situations which also can limit top speed this isnt something they do by accident all the big auto companys have some sort of agreement about it didnt know the Corvette had one that kept it from hitting max speed but it may
I think automatics may be limited, but my 1994 6 speed manual is able to get to 160 mph at about 5500 rpm in 5th gear before I chickend out. 6th gear by the way is a realy tall overdrive and won't climb any higher than the advertised 183 mph.
I didnt say they limited it, I said it was redlined limited...means the engine could rev no higher, which is clearly visible in this video, you may get 160 on a good day.
If you know anything about the late model C4 corvette as in this video, the manual has six speeds, going at 5500 rpm (IF THAT IS WHERE IT IS) is in fifth gear when going 160, I can tell you that from experience, THEN when you shift into your cruise gear the car is no longer "Red Line limited" as you seem to expertly say, the car can handle rpm's up to 6200 if you knew anything about the C4 LT1 engine anyways. Don't make stuff up, it makes people look bad...
Gosh expertly..ok. Make stuff up? The video doesnt show it but I dont know what type of transmission it has, but as having owned an automatic version it is redline limited, tested myself thank you, so yeah i think i would know a thing or two, plus go check any automotive magazine archives and they all will say the same thing, it may handle 6200, but redline is 5500. Why bother someone on a comment so freakn old...go bother someone who truly knows nothing.
i wouldnt owrry too much about that with a c-4..a zr-1 from the 90's still holds speed endurance records for holding somewhere 170+ for 12 and 24 hours
its aerodynamically limited at 155 since its a convertible. also i was swerving through traffic on the interstate. i recently lowered it and i have a hardtop now so i might be able to get her to 180
mine will get up to 124 in just 1/4 mile, what took you so long?
