Blink, I would suspect that the current 97 plus Dakota design as a drag
limit of only 128MPH. As any DML surpassed this limit without any top or
lowered vehicle?
But then in Southern California, if you can find a road that is cleared to
race to reach that type of speed, that would be a miracle.

end of my 4x4. the only engine mod on my 318 is a k&n fipk and i got that
after the new rear end. his prelude stock does 144mph. how fast is your
truck? i know mine won't even come close to 144mph. >>
Well Ok I think enough has been said, But we can come up with repair stories
all day long, I've never had to replace a thing on my Dakota except a
starter. Its been the most reliable vehical ever. But my friend bought a 95
prelude 8 months ago with 35 thousand and has had nothing but problems, from
the tranny to the breaks etc. As far as my truck going 144, I don't know my
speedo goes to 110, I paced with a 99 trans am straight to 130 but that
dosn't matter when I finish the quarter mile after 12.5 seconds I'm going
112
MPH and thats All that counts.
