The 71 Nova I had was not a rust bucket bomber, it was in actually really good shape with a factory 4 speed! The suspension was solid and tight, and was smooth at high speeds. The frame was also snubbed, don't know if that helped out.Originally posted by paragonwrx

Wow, I have a 73 nova, stock suspension, but upgraded rubber, and at 110 I thought the windows were gonna give way.
I'd rather drive my WRX 150 that that nova 105+.
Oh and my top speeds are like:
1973 Nova- 110, Dad's 1994 Cutlass Supreme - 120, WRX 120 ish.
Para
2004 WRX

Those 2000+ GSXR600s are pretty quick for a 600.
The Minivan going 110 is more scary then going 200 on a bike.
I believe you about the Ligenfelter, as long as it really was one. I dont really like them, but that doesnt matter, they are still fast as hell.

155 mph in my Firehawk when it was mostly stock a few years ago, with the top down.
149 mph in my WRX (240 km/h according to the peak reading on my AVC-R boost controller) last month.
Since bikes are now being introduced, why not talk about everything else too?
400 + mph in a Boeing 747 while going down to Florida.
67 mph on my 2000 Kawasaki Ultra 150 JetSki.
18 mph (estimated) on my dad's John Deere back when I was 12.
68 mph in a Mack garbage truck that I used to drive part time during college in 1994.
60+ mph in a 1978 Donzi (small boat) with a Chevy 350.
75 mph in an Amtrak on the way to St. Louis.
I think that about covers it!

I purchased the car using my fathers 33 percent GM discount . Original price was $23, 500 but paid 15,750 and 11k for the conversion.I believe you about the Ligenfelter, as long as it really was one. I dont really like them, but that doesnt matter, they are still fast as hell.

And I'll do the same,unless your name is John Noonan you are so full of crap. This will be the third time I'm calling you out, post pics of your Turbo Busa next to your Minivan with the "350Z engine swap" next to it. It's seems you have a digital camera since you were able to take that image of 239Originally posted by The Cyndicate
Dont be mad, Im just trimming the fat off of the bull****., so lets see the goods. I'm convinced you're nothing but some stupid punk living a internet fantasy life. Now prove me wrong!
Im not going to go out and make any fancy pictures for you.
Guess who John drives for? NLRSystems. Guess who built the turbo for my bike? NLRSystems. Plenty of people are faster then me, including Seb, and Dennis(The Motorhead), Lofty was faster until Barry(the owner of Velocity Racing) wrecked it, and Barry has a few bikes faster then me as well.
