Top Speed?

Just curious, but has anyone topped out their stock 04-06 Ralliart? And if so what does it top out at?

Uhmm... I would like to post it up here but since it would probably earn me points for probably being classified as street racing or reckless driving you should probably ask for pms instead

I'll PM you my answer

i dont see how it would really be classified as street racing, as theres easy ways to test your top speed without breaking laws. ive maxed out the spedometer but as if it goes faster idk

unless you're on a dyno but if he's asking about a stock RA there's no reason you'd be on one.... there's no track that I've ever heard of that would be long enough to even reach the top speed of the car so in order to get the top speed i'd think you'd be on a public road or something

137 is the official top speed and is likely accurate, because that's about when you'd hit the rev limiter. Fastest I've been, on the straight at Grattan Raceway, was about 110. It was 40* out and a wet track. If I make it back there, on a dry day, I will probably hit somewhere between 115-120 due to higher entry speed.

The straight on this track 3,200 ft long and a pretty fast corner leads into it (one quite a few people have spun on and launched themselves into guardrails.) Mildly modded Evos can hit 150 if they have the tires and brakes to back it up.

bought a month or two ago, a buddy of mine and I went to this private air strip to max out our cars with the owner, I dont really remember how long the strip was, but I do remember getting up to ~131mph before I had to slow down, due to the airstrip ending. IIRC I was just below 6500rpms so I didnt have much more room till the rev limiter kicked in anyways.

I have actually had it to redline but not the limiter. It comes just a small bit past the 130. Maybe 135. All I have is intake and exhaust though and past 110 or so just takes forever.

Closed, because threads like this tend to draw people who try this crap on the street, and the question has been answered.
