In the pic is a S2k, 87 Supra N/A, 97 Supra was TT, but single huge turbo (636rwhp/tq on 1.25bar), 97 Civic Si, 89 Civic, some POS Saturn, a Mustang SVO, 98 Grand Prix GTP, 03 WRX, 85 Fiero.

You gotta see the Supra race a 72 Pantera GT, it's great!

There is a *** end shot of the race at the endo of the Dyno day video.

this is my vid up thru the ilion gorge in NY, trip computer averaged speedat 60, bunch of 30mph turns some slower, up until I catch a slow moving car.

I still call shenanigans on your 120 thru a 40, sorry. Must be one of those 40mph turns with signage posted on the safe side. Dialed suspension or not, the game is driving it double the suggested speed, and generally, you can't push much past that. Until I personally see it, I call shenanigans.

In MN, yellow speed signs are "reccomended" speeds. Even a stock grandma's Buick can do them at 80. I should maybe specify, corners are more curved roads, not like intersection corners.

Wow that road looks like hella fun! Some of those corners are insane! We had a video of the HWY 113 cruise, but removed it to edit it, since it showed the GTP doing the 108mph into a corner and the Supra doing 160mph on the needle as well as verbalization of the speed. So the new version will have them cut out for legal purposes.

yellow are suggested speed signs here too, but if it says 40, generally 80 is your max. But I get an idea of what you have. Theres a road heading up to the north country in NY, I set my cruise at 125 one night, passed thru a couple bends in the road, one was a 45, a few were 50 mph turns, all didn't really need the 'suggested speed' signs. Double the sign speed is the general rule in NY though.

Yeah I think both of you have understandable arguments because those yellow signs are on all elevated, turning overpasses and they all say between 35-45 here in Houston and I mean hitting 120 isn't unrealistic in a car that has suspension. All I have suspension-wise is a 22mm front sway and I can do 110 with some to spare. But yeah I am going to second that some of those corners in your video look liek a lot of fun and obviously the "turns" that you are talking about aren't the turns that I am. haha that looks like fun

next vid will def. be higher quality, and will hopefully be of the 'App gap' mentioned in another recent thread.
