Top speed run.. Does the GT live up to the hype?

[Alpha_Sting1]

Nice trip to open roads in Mexico.

Ran GPS app for accuracy.

The Korean Darling indeed does live up to the hype and I believe had a few extra in her but couldn't play at those speeds corning...

How do I know if you didn?t just throw your phone across the field to capture that speed? lol.

Nice run though, wish I lived in Austin, Mexico too.

Awesome! What happened when you hit 167? Is your car lowered too?

I know his secret, this is how he did it.

But seriously that's really impressive. Have you check out the TX thread? We're planning a meet in Austin.

Well as soon as she hit 167, unfortunately I had to let off as a corner came quickly and slid that @ 125 in the dark. Quite scary to say the least but me & her handled it
So yeah, slowly to 167 from about 160 but unless the governor shuts @ 167 I believe had a lil more.



Yeah man, stance enhanced.

Stance is on point, H&R or Eibach?

I did a couple of pulls to 130 but man 167 must have been a rush.

Thanks bro, Eibach Pro.

Did the install give you any issues, alignment still good? I plan to put the same springs on when the weather gets warmer here.

Tested the strip @ 85 mph and super smooth with a few dips 20 yds apart, no biggie. Hitting those around 160 was a tad concerning, a heck of a rush for sure and thankful after that and the corner we stayed on the asphalt!

No issues but more labor for the tech as thought from the get. Expect maybe 5-6hrs total labor.

Was told exactly in spec but plan to check soon as have some miles on the drop now.
Drives straight as an arrow tho so...

Thanks for testing Kia's claims lol.

It is governed at 167.7mph, nice that you found a road in Mexico to do it.

You can see in this video it won't go pass 270km.

[powermatt]

From the video at top speeds the engine wasn't even close to redline, could easily do +180mph without a governor.

Nice run, your Stinger looks great with the springs. [MENTION=551]Alpha_Sting1[/MENTION]

 

[Kelly]

If you get the 18" wheels from the factory you will be limited to 140 MPH due to the factory tires not rated for the higher speed.
