Nissan_Boy85 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 lynch and anyone out our direction, I have found a stretch of road on the way out to Amboy. Not sure of the exact location all I know is that it's mostly smooth, little traffic after 7:30PM, and way fun. Also behind Vancouver Lake is pretty good. Quote Link to comment

Jester Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 100???!!!! Not in stock trim. I have hit 85 once. Regularly run her about 70ish. Pulled out to pass a semi and had some jackass get right on my ass. Piss me off!!!! When your cruising at around 4K rpm it doesn't take long to hit the 85 mark. Looking forward to having a 5 spd. Then I will say hell ya! Quote Link to comment

yello620 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I haven't had a 620 too a 100 in many years. But I used to hit it way too often, one and only one time on a stretch of I5 south between terwilliger and tigard, nice section of gradual downhill, i had the needle pointed straight down ath the P in the MPH. Sure as hell would not drive that section of road that fast anymore. My current 620 with the 3.7 rear gears is very happy to cruise at 80 mph down the freeway. It wouldnt even flinch at going much faster. Actually had the opportunity a couple weeks ago to try it out and thought to myself, no not today. About a half mile later when i would have been up to a good speed, I pass a state trooper on a motorcycle hiding in the center median. Kind of felt lucky that afternoon. Jason Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 going to drill back in alabama EVERYONE goes about 80 (65 mph speed limit) and garmin said 104 for about 9 minutes.....was behind a semi, REAL close.... Quote Link to comment
ronnny Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 My 82 king cab might of hit it a few times but not often. i would say about 3 times in the 3 years i drove it. Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 ok i hit 90 today at 5200 rmp's. it's hard to find a good stretch of freeway in town. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 and whats the ratio in your rear end? also what engine / tranny ? Quote Link to comment
zed Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 100 mph in truck with over 250000 miles on it? no way. Gas prices are also too high here for speeding. I cruise between 50 to 60mph. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Well...if I had any doubts before...I don't now:lol: On the way to Bobs for the 1st multi-annual Coloratsun meet. :D Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I've done 85 tops... stock gearing, 4spd, smaller than stock tires, and a carrier bearing that needs attention... not gonna attempt 100. Although it sure feels & sounds like it'll do 100. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 100 with the stock 4 speed would be over the top man!:lol: The 5th gear makes it work way better. BTW...I felt safer with my awesome seatbelts in place!:blink: Quote Link to comment

RacnJsn95 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I hit 100 a couple times in my old 78 510 Wagon. Highest I've had my 620 is 75 or 80. 140 in my gto ;) Quote Link to comment

agentalpha Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) I used to get my 720 to 120+. The stock cam would hit a wall @ 4500 RPM's. Just totally run out of breath. I'd bet with a cam change I coulda seen at least 130MPH. Might actually use more of the Holley 350CFM 2Bbl. With a final O/D change in the trans, I'd bet 135. Not regularly, mind you. Maybe once every two months. This was in a roadster, no top/cab, no rollbar, no seatbelts. Yes. I am crazy. I also used to drive it all through Ohio winters, 10 degrees, no top, no heater. Yes, people would stare. Edited November 4, 2008 by agentalpha Quote Link to comment
rat tail dragger Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 ive had ole blue speedo pegged goin down long hill full speed ahead i just hung on to that bitch like it was the last can of copenhagen on earth Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 i have hit 90 in the 620 the other day. had a load of tools in the back and no pass mirror. so i found a nice WIDE opening to merge over but had to pass a prius doing 70. god that scared the S outta me. i thought the 16 was gonna drop a load on me. i think that was around 4500 RPM or so in 4th.

As long as it doesn't overheat and has oil, an L16 will sit at 6,000 all day long. 5 huge main bearings, fully counter weighted crank...they love to rev. Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 yeah well.... in 4th i dont like doing over 4k. its just me. feels like its kinda wheezing out to me. but then i am used ot a car that will sit at 110 and 3500 rpm all day long and not even phase it. or maybe its that a 5spd is what i am used to. who knows.

HRH Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 In my previous 78 620, I'd race at 105 around the corners. Had the Nismo torsion bars and lowered quite a bit. It handled nice. In the current 78 620 with one rusted out cab mount, I rarely go above 85. She has hit 100, but I'm babying here until I get around to restoring. Which may be a while with the other project cars I have to finish. Quote Link to comment
peanut2425 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I hit 100 every day. Thats my cruzin speed Quote Link to comment
