Not even close man. Thanks for explaining yourself. My speedo goes to 180km ( 1989-1992) new gens speedo goes to 220km I believe. Stock second generations can pull into the 230's with ease, been in a couple of them who have.
I put 234km because if you take gear ratios and what not, on the stock tires thats redline(6500). But I had 18's on so i just recalculated and it puts it at 255.1 kph. So I suppose thats how fast I was going. Math is math, you can argue with it if you like.
and no offence but comparing my car to yours is stupid. First off I am a lot lighter, I am turbo'ed with FMIC, I put more hp to the wheels then you got to the flywheel, and I got about a 100lbs more tq then you to the wheels. sooo ?!?!
My mods during this run was - Stripped interior, Doubled stock boost, Air intake, exhaust, msd ignition and coil.

So you have never actually driven the car to 234KM? Shit, if that is the case mine can do that too.

Do you have dyno results? How much WHP do you have? Torque?

Yeah Convict will have to do something like that or hook up at racecity this summer. I know the ga's are heavy and needs to go on a diet so doe's the driver

[ninspeed]

Speedp stops at 180, but i was right bescide rick at 220 on his speedo. (mel can vouch for that)

and I have hit the rev limiter while in 5th while on my 18's. Which is SUPPOSED to be 255kph if performanceprobe.com's calculations are right.
Like I said I dont have dyno results, I can only go off of thekens dyno results. He pulled
144whp - 220wtq with cold air intake, and 11psi
I am running Cold Air Intake, 12psi, Filed head, Straight pipe exhaust, MSD pack/coil, sparks/wires... ya thats about it.
But I know and theken can agree with me that on the probe switching the exhaust gives you some SERIOUS gains. You should see the brutal downpipe that it came with.

[twincharged86]

the fastest i've is 230-235 (from glenmore to deerfoot) with just the supercharger, i ran out of road -- and gears

haven't tried with the twincharged setup yet . . .

I hear you on that. Same goes with the Grand Am's / Aleros and the headwork -- stock heads are very restrictive. You gotta come up to race city, I would love to "line up" with you to see how good of a race it would be. Win or lose I think it might be close.

[VWhooligan]

top speed in my car with a chip is apparently 240-245. i've hit 230 but got scared.

[Zephyr]

uhh 110mph, never really use the bimmer for anything beyond 90

[generation2]

261 in a Talon TSi AWD

[Mckenzie]

I have never taken mine over 200 or redlined my fourth gear. Too risky and blah blah blah.

I still have 5th and 6th gear to go at 210 km/h.

And now he has full 3" Exhaust with an "Apexi N1 knockoff" and constantly runs 9psi, spiking to 12 sometimes with a ghetto boost controller installed by yours truly . Exhaust did quite a bit....... The whole comparing the Grand am and Probe seems to be highly inaccurate!...the Probe Pulls extremely well at high speeds, i was extremely impressed at how fast the needle got buried( looked identical to Convicts Picture)...not sure what the revs were at though.

[RGAGT]

RIGHT NOW ONLY RUNNING EXHAUST AND MODIFIED AIR INTAKE TOOK THE CHIP OUT AFTER IT SCREWED UP MY FACTORY ALARM AND HAD TO GET THE COMPUTER REPLACED, IT ONLY GOT ME A .10 OF A SEC QUICKER IN THE 1/4 MILE

[StrokeD z]

damn you got a fast grand am

[Arthur Dent]

I'd say about 140km/h or so
