Truck won't go over 80-82 MPH

Remember I talking about what Kid could do in the family garage 50 years ago. Lots of factory cars could blow it away today.

Chevy 350’s and Ford 351’s were built into pretty good amateur drag. Cars back then.

 

You sure it was a twin turbo? 1jz-gte motors came in the japan version of the mk3 supra, otherwise we only got the single turbo models here for the mk3.

Either way, 145 was easy for those cars. My mom had a turbo 1987 supra when I was growing up.

 

Yea I’m sure…. It wasn’t the original engine.

 

My tires are rated R for adult content (or maybe 106 mph, I dunno).

 

After reading these post I got curious. I went down this stretch on a paved road which has a straight line of about 1 mile. Was driving around 50 mph and dropped to Sport mode 4 and booted her and shifted to 5 then 6 and I reached no hesitation and no bullshit 110 mph and eased off on gas pedal. So the Tacomas would probably do more but did not want to push my luck as I would lose my license, truck and points at that speed.The Taco was not even red lining yet.

 

Isn't the "Rrrrrr" rating for Pirate tires???

 

I don't doubt it one bit,,, OP was trolling for some attention.

 

I wonder if OP used fluid film. I heard that will trap water and make your truck not go over 82. It’s science. Hydrolocked.

 

I agree no attention from me just curious lol

 

What happened to the OP I would suggest he goes to the dealer he bought it from and complain to it not here. I am sure when you buy used from a dealer you get a warranty of some kind some 30 days, 90 days, 1year something.

 

Everyone's arguing about whos 350 is fast and I'm sitting 10 miles down the highway on my bike waiting for yall.

 

Speed limit in my home state is 80mph. Wouldn't be unheard of to get up to 85mph to try and pass without sitting next to someone forever.

 

The truck is electronically governed, according to Car and Driver testing. However, at those speeds the speedometer error can be significant. You should use something GPS based.

110 on the 405 early morning. Yep it does it

 

I have my GPS on and I was slightly going slower by 3 miles an hour because of the tires but it did 110. And it had more to go I bet you I could do at least 115 or even 120 if I wanted to

 

it is entirely possible to use john deere stump jumpin gearing

in any pickup that would negate 30 mph top end

no less INCREASE the wear / tear on that vehicle 20

maybe 30% during the 90% everyday putting around

mall .....hooters........work

a definite negative trade off .......................................

 

It’s Friday and out come the hooters!

That’s in the slow lane on the 405!!

 

Yeah you're right it was the "fast" lane. These days everything is reversed.
