I did have on seatbelt. That is the passenger air bag light on. Battery went completly dead two days ago and the light has been stuck on since. My Nissan Tech friend is gonna turn it off this weekend.
Truck handled awesome.. solid.. but winds were calm. I have stillen fr and rear anti sway bars and they help alot. I just lowered it two days ago also and I'd been wanting to do a high speed pull.... I'm happy with the feel:upsidedow

Doing that on the stock tires is really unwise. Please don't push your luck, we like having you around.

Thanks bud.:) .. That IS the reason on my top end pulls I get there quick and then slow down quicker... I don't maintain them speeds for any extended time.

Im gonna find a temporary speedo that goes over 140 to try and see how fast she'll go..

Or I just thought of something.. I wonder if I switch the display to that digital speedo setting(remember) if it would log speeds in excess of 140.

But b4 I raise my truck tomorrow, I'm gonna try and get a TOP SPEED out of this. I'm thinking(hoping) over 150mph!!

Ooohhh and for the record.. I'm gonna be using VR rated stock size tires on a closed, cleared course with a paramedic team waiting safely at a distance while I'm wearing a helmet, fire suit .. and sitting in my temporaily installed roll cage in my Titan..

You could loose your life or someone else's trying to find out has fast a truck will go. It's not worth it. Please reconsider this.

A few more of my TITAN.. I also found out that it will not go more than @1/2 inch past the 140mph mark.. I was still accelerating on all the 140 hits and they all stopped at the same place... must have a stop somewhere.. I want to borrow someones Garmin or something to see the ACTUAL TOP SPEED.. It has to be over 150... SERIOUSLY!!! No BULL!!

Surprised no one has thought of this earlier? The camera is recording at 30fps. Considering how fast he's going, the lines arn't going to appear as fast as the trucks actual movment due to over speed and capture time with the video.

I love it though! I wonder what other people think as they see a white titan blowing past them.. sucks if a state trooper or local PD cought you though. Impound that truck and off to jail you go LOL

I didn't even think that was possible...

A couple weeks ago another KC Titan raced me and at 110 he was pretty much sitting still...for some reason I kept pulling but not anywhere like that.

Stock Tune is speed limited to about 112 MPH. 140 is possible and has been done by a couple guys IIRC. Takes about 375-400 RWHP to push a Titan that speed. Go to Wallace Racing-Drag Racing Pontiac powered Firebirds,Trans Ams and Dragsters for a wide variety of calculators to determine what is possible, given the variables of Weight, Drag Co-efficient, Frontal Area. Numbers were available here a couple years ago. I hope no one ever does run this on a open highway though.

wow, dude. its pretty impressive seeing a T go that fast, but at the same time..that is a huge risk. i get nervous going 95-100 because it feels so unstable at higher speeds. i wouldn't recommend it doing this again, but if you do make sure you consider all consequences and do it in a empty road.
